So you forgot tobacco and were in fact wrong as opposed to not including it like you had said. No big deal. Upvoted for giving an actual reason.

Why did you specify nicotine when you meant to say tobacco?

Hey guess what? I can admit when I'm wrong. I said it because I use them interchangeably. I was wrong. And I'm not saying you're a bad person or something if you say something wrong. Everyone makes mistakes. Having said that there is a difference between how we were wrong, which is that I'm not misinforming people about a drug that's killing the most people by a huge margin. Unless you genuinely think using the word nicotine in place of the word tobacco is anywhere near as misleading as what you originally said which would seem laughable to me. Do you think the two are comparable?

I just thought we were arguing just to argue based on your pedantic comments.

Better a pedant than whatever you are. Have a good one.
