Does nicotine effect those with ADD and ADHD differently?


and if so, how?
A friend of mine has ADD and ADHD, he also smokes and is an insomniac. He is 17 years old if age helps in any way. He's currently trying to cut down on smoking and will soon stop all together.

Speed helps people with ADD or ADHD, and nicotine acts the same way. They smoke to self-medicate. They say it helps them concentrate and feel more "normal". So don't nag him to quit.
