millions of years ago, a plant stumbled across a chemically and energetically efficient way to reduce the amount of insects munching on it.
humans find the plant and realize they can't just eat it because it tastes terrible and induces intense nausea + vomiting, but wonder... "what if we dried it out and then sucked on it, but mostly spit it out?"
then, "light it on fire and breathe the smoke. hits you way quicker!"
and then, "chop it up ultrafine with a machine, like into a dust, package it into something that dissolves and suck on that!"
and ultimately, "cram that it in your shitter!"
the great chain of history is finding ways to get buzzed.

Nicotine head rush is a thing for some people. Also calms the nerves apparently
the buzz is tight and it's a stimulant with anti-anxiety effects.

it's a long climb for a short slide, so to speak. and quickly turns into mitigating withdrawals rather than enjoying the experience.
I quit smoking after being a low key smoker for several years. not worth it at all. probably among the dumber drugs, imo.
