Nicotine gets the blame when it comes to the debate over tobacco and health. But is nicotine really the bad guy here? “You Don’t Know Nicotine” is a filmmaker’s journey through the confusion and fear over nicotine which leads to what they say are “startling discover[ies] about Earth’s most hated stimulant”.
The filmmaker said his mission was to share the truth about what nicotine is what it does by uncovering facts, opinions, and research from all sides of the debate and then fairly presenting the findings in this feature length documentary.
“As a result, it is our hope that government officials, health professionals, parents, and people who use nicotine around the world may be able to make more confident, clear, and informed decisions/judgments regarding nicotine and public health,” according to a press release on the website.
The filmmakers raised funds from a diverse group of 1,112 backers during its Kickstarter campaign held in early 2019.
The documentary is currently available on a new streaming service WatchIbex (watchibex.com) and a trailer is available at https://knownicotine.com
