Not a narcotic in any sense of the word.
Nicotine is not a "controlled substance".
I allege that FUD was the intended effect when the word was used by OP.
You don't like the definition. The definition, however, exists.
Regarding the second: We're discussing its regulation here and now.
(Updated to clarify which aspects of comment I'm responding to, and how.)
But, that said, it is totally valid to argue that a definition is wrong, misleading, or incomplete. Has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, but thanks for saying that.
Does this dissonance not register at all with you?
I do wish you would stop taking jabs at me personally.
