I knew that there would be a lot of people that use the addictive drug, but not that many. I also learned that people believe there are good effects to nicotine. I disagree with this, because I believe that the negative effects outweigh the positives and it's not worth the risks. ]]> 2021-03-03 20:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/meganpmartin20/kqdl91g2vb9i1iyj/wish/1265913132
