@Ashurbanipal Ah yes, the low intelligence of a bugman who is addicted to insecticide.

Many plants (especially those in the Nicotiana genus) have evolved in response to parasitism by insects to contain insecticides that kills bugs dead that try to eat the plant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine?useskin=monobook#Pesticide

It turns out that one of the insecticides triggers receptors in the brain that induces a brain chemical imbalance (to put it simply) and makes anxiety skyrocket to the point that the bugman only feels normal when there's nicotine in their system.

Too bad most of these bugmen won't give it up until they quite literally die of cancer.
