Nicotine-injecting wearable gets $32M to help people quit smoking with no patches or gum - stroke recovery need

This sounds like a great idea for my nicotine needs for stroke recovery.
Nicotine for these reasons:
1.  Nicotine Holds Promise for Stronger Stroke Recovery
2.  Nicotine Patch Appears To Help Mild Cognitive Loss
3.  A Nicotine Patch a Day Keeps the Cognitive Impairment Away
4. Chronic nicotine restores normal Aβ levels and prevents short-term memory and E-LTP impairment in Aβ rat model of Alzheimer's disease
5. Nicotinic receptors in aging and dementia
6. nicotine and stroke rehab


and the negative;
1. Nicotine's role in promoting heart and blood vessel disease

Chrono Therapeutics‘ wearable, called StopSmart, injects a tiny bit of nicotine into the wearer’s bloodstream at timed intervals.
In this way it’s similar to the patch, but StopSmart gives the wearer some control over when that happens. Timing the introduction of the nicotine can help the user deal with cravings, the company says.
And some big names in the venture capital and healthcare world believe it. Waltham, Mass.-based Chrono said today it’s taken a sizable $32 million funding round to further develop the device.

Absolutely nothing should be done here without your doctors ok, you know how dangerous nicotine is.
