Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.

Nicotine sales would probably go up. It's a mild stimulant.

Can confirm, I chew nic gum when I don't feel like taking my ADHD medication. Gives you a little kick and (at least for me, YMMV) isn't addictive.

Nicotine is definitely addictive, but it's not nearly as addictive as a whole cigarette - cigs have more than just nicotine that's addictive and some of those things are more addictive than nicotine.
