In the questions about SNPs, 23andMe reports RS4570625 as G or T, not A or G, and RS4633 as C or T, not A or G.

Oops. Shouldn't've assumed they'd be the same...

but that is drawing the boundary of "nootropic" rather wide.

It is but it's still common and can be useful. The nootropics list is based on Yvain's previous nootropics survey, which I thought might be useful for comparison. (I also stole a bunch of questions from his LW survey too, figuring that they're at least battle-tested at this point.)

Why is nicotine amplified as "gum, patch, lozenge", to the exclusion of tobacco?

I have no interest in tobacco, solely nicotine. Although now that you object to that, I realize I forgot to specify vaping/e-cigs as included.
