You seem to argue the following:

  • If you have schizophrenia or ADHD, nicotine might help
  • Smoking is significantly worse than vaping
  • Prescribed drugs carry risks
  • Everything is a tradeoff between health and happiness
  • There are things worse than nicotine, so you shouldn’t worry about nicotine

I disagree because:

  • Prescription meds or therapy don’t just seem like they help but have been proven to help with mental health
  • Smoking might be worse but that doesn’t change the fact that vaping is still bad
  • Yes, risks, but that’s better than something that’s proven to be harmful.
  • Mental health and physical health are connected. Something like exercise might help with both.
  • It’s irrelevant that there are things that are worse, it’s not a valid reason to start a nicotine addiction.

If I have misunderstood any of your arguments, please correct me.
