I did not call you ignorant.

I suggested you were ignorant about the different propertieses (notably the effects) of heroin and nicotine and made the point that it's inappropriate to compare them overall.

Frankly, although I was polite enough to apologise for getting the direction of travel back to front re Rush, it's hardly the point, is it?  He was carrying the drug.  In which direction seems somewhat unimportant imo.

Considering you've provided no reference for what his conclusions are or what he discusses, I can't comment.

If you are maintaining that heroin and nicotine can be considered equal I'd like to see some clearly made points from you demonstrating this.  Be sure to document all the effects experienced by users in each case.

Look 2020, I respect the fact that someone you care about has obviously experienced some very nasty medical complications.  But I very much doubt that all these conditions you describe can necessarily be sheeted home entirely to nicotine.  He may have already had underlying peripheral vascular disease, elevated blood pressure, genetic tendency to diabetes, all manner of susceptibilities.  

Just a mistake to necessarily confuse cause and effect when neither can possibly be completely clear.
