I don’t think it’s entirely clear based on the quote if he was referring to nicotine or snus with nicotine. This is from the Ray Peat Depository:Could be more likely from carbon monoxide in smoke did he mention smoking or isolated nicotine
Smoking/Nicotine
[Snus] In old people, a little nicotine can have a balancing effect, improving alertness, and probably protecting nerves, for example in the negative association with Parkinson's disease. But in younger people, its vasoconstrictive effect tends to promote the development of wrinkles in the skin, and I think it's likely to contribute to periodontal disease.
