I have colleagues-- these are not my kind of like bro science buddies. I have those friends, too. This is a Nobel Prize-winning colleague who chews Nicorette while he works. But when I asked him, why are you doing this, he said, well, it increases my alertness and focus. Now, I've tried chewing Nicorette. It makes me super jittery. I don't like it because I can't focus very well. It kind of takes me too far up the level of autonomic arousal.
