"One of the things people need to understand is that many people self medicated using nicotine."

This is a given. Most people self medicate with alcohol and tobacco.

A lot people don't want to be a statistic for side effects either. Here take some hydroxyzine, but hey it may cause you to be hyper aggressive. Sounds too similar to hydrazine.

I don't know if it seems more rational to use something that's been around forever.
