Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

Nicotine. I started smoking at 16. Vaping now but nicotine and caffeine are carrying me through my unmedicated life

I would hazard that's less unmedicated and more self medicated.

All I need is one prescription bottle with my name on it and then it's all onions from there

Same, nicotine is the only reason I can hold a job.

I read somewhere that nicotine decreases the half-life of caffeine in your system, allowing you to consume more caffeine and feel fewer effects from it.

This would explain the common trope of people smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

That being said, this is pulled out of my memory and I would have to spend quite a while trying to find any evidence of it, although everybody I know that smokes are consumes nicotine also consumes quite a bit of caffeine.
