Does that mean angina-causing or causing growth of heart muscle? Nicotine is well known for provoking angina atacks because of its vasoconstiriction effects, so it's not suitable for those with heart disease. They would have had to follow the people taking pharmaceutical grade nicotine to treat ADHD for some years - decades most likely in order to reach a fair conclusion that it was pure nicotine alone that was causing the problem, and that seems unlikely. Have you had any success in finding the article?
