Hi all,

Does anyone know if nicotine is actually toxic to the liver?

I chew nicorette gum, but need to quit, but can't seem to. The gastro doc wants me to switch to the patch, since the gum produces too much gas and is upsetting to the j-pouch and the intestinal tract. The hep doc is worried about liver toxicity.

I already know that nicotine is supposed to help UC. But is it really toxic to the liver? I'm having a TON of trouble even switching to the patch.

Thanks for any help.
