Nicotine is one of the most widely used psychoactive compounds in the world, trailing only behind caffeine. Many professional athletes are known to use it (baseball anyone?), but there aren't very many solid research studies supporting its use. This week, Casey reviews a recent study investigating the effects of nicotine on cognitive performance and archery. Check it out if you've ever wanted to learn a bit more actual SCIENCE about the compound, rather than listening to TV blitzes and billboards.
