Nicotine offers cognitive benefits, says Jillian Michaels
"It has cognitive benefits unquestionably. And when not abused, there really is no reason not to utilize it. But you have to be strategic and you need to do it with your doctor's permission of course."
Jillian Michaels tells NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart she uses nicotine and says it has cognitive benefits when not abused. She argues adults can use non-combustible nicotine (such as gum or pouches) strategically, with a doctor’s permission.
