    Why is the American tech culture so comically evil. Even if this does boost productivity surely we would think that offering workers addictive substances like nicotine pouches is unacceptable behavior. I cant imagine any of the places I've worked at thinking this was an acceptable idea let alone a good idea.

    Maybe im just out of touch.

      I worked at one, with famous folks, where the CEO took Nicotine and Caffeine pills, had them in the cabinet. When I mentioned that nicotine was bad for you, he was surprised.

        Nicotine itself seems to be remarkably benign. Smoking is bad, snuff is bad.

      I've heard some of them also have free coffee.
