It's #ADHDAwarenessMonth. This 🧵 is about #ADHD and #nicotine. Nicotine is a stimulant. Prescription stimulants help many people with ADHD. Smoking is twice as common in people with ADHD than the general population. #SaferNicotine #ADHDAcceptanceMonth

But that one thing? My entire brain is hyperfocused on that one singular thing. Most people don't think of "too much attention" when they think of "attention deficit."
