Niacin supplements?

For those who take niacin supplements, a few questions:

1) Why do you take it?
2) How much?
3) Does the associated flush cease if you continue to take it each day?
4) What health benefits can you attest to?

I've read up on it extensively but I'm looking for personal experiences.

I took it a few years ago to pass a pee pee test, be careful b/c it will make your skin itch.
