I quit the nicotine for 6 or 7 days following your comment, and didn’t notice anything, so at least for me, I’m not concerned. (Obviously this lack of concern presumes that I really am/was taking nicotine; the effects still aren’t clear to me, and I’m pondering buying some nicotine pills for an independent comparison.)
As far as your second link goes, I didn’t find it too persuasive; it deals exclusively with tobacco, as far as I can tell, which I had already cited as a relevant difference as to why I expected pure nicotine to be less addictive, and the scariest figures seem to be based on lumping in any positive answer on pretty general surveys (‘Have you ever felt like you really needed a cigarette?’ Gosh, who hasn’t?)
Well, since you didn’t report the equivalent of a “First Inhalation Relaxation Experience”, I suspect that you’re not in the quarter of the population at highest risk for nicotine addiction.
