Great question.

Thank you, Sarah, and thanks for calling, and I can understand the challenge that, and really just the confusion that that can bring, um, and perhaps the fear that, that, that that brings as well.

[clears throat] I would suggest, much like those who are struggling with a loved one, particularly a child's, um, any kind of, whether it's nicotine or drugs or alcohol.

I mean, perhaps nicotine is not as, as grave or had, it may not have as, as, as dark consequences as others, but can be, um, you know, a pathway to other behaviors and substances.

I imagine, as you mentioned, an ADD diagnosis or perhaps some tendencies that might be similar, that he's using, finding some way to relieve himself, some, some form of relief that he's finding through nicotine, which is providing, again, as I kind of mentioned in the open, is both the problem, but to him it's more of a solution.

It's, it's the way that he's finding some relief from challenges that he's going through in life.

Go ahead, Scott.
