Survey answers are converted to these five answers. Each kind of questionnaire gets its own chart, because not every survey offered every answer. In Nootroflix (2022) and the SlateStarCodex 2016 nootropics survey, a 10 out of 10 rating counts as “changed my life”.

Every answer makes this page more accurate. Share it with people who've tried Nicotine, whether it changed their life or did nothing for them.
Self-reported experiences, not medical advice. High scores mean people reported strong positive effects. They do not mean something is safe, effective long-term, or appropriate for you. Self-reports can miss delayed harms, dependence, withdrawal, side effects, and selection bias. Don't start or stop a medication because of a chart.
