We will make it entirely from scratch if push comes to shove comes to gunshots.

Be careful... nicotine is a deadly poison. Rememer the stories of the African pygmies with poison-tipped arrows? That was nicotine. In extremely low doses it replaces acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter and relaxes the nervous system while also constricting capillaries, causing the heart to pump harder and giving a short spike in blood pressure. In higher doses, it shuts down the nervous system and closes off blood flow entirely.
Of course, that means if I am ever shot by African pygmies with poison arrows, I'll just get a mild nicotine rush.
