Nicotine is a profound vaso-constrictor. But like most agents that work in the vasculature, it depends on which vascular bed as to the exact role of vaso-dilation vs vaso-constriction.

One also has to consider the role of nicotine as an anxiolytic when one looks at blood pressure.

Again, I think what is called for looking at the preponderance of evidence.

As far as nicotine being a carcinogen, I didn't say it was. I said the use of *tobacco* was associated with the development of cancer.

Seldom.
