Nicotine

[Jking]

How many people use nicotine in any way, shape, or form? I’m curious has I’ve been a drug addict all my life, and have never really been one for nicotine. Well these last couple years I’ve lost loved ones, and generally hate society but they really exceeded even my line of what I thought they could get away with this Covid ;never forget we are sheep in the eyes of the government. Sorry off topic but this increase of stress has finally eroded my willpower. I use snus which is Swedish tobacco you put under your top lip. Just curious what other people thoughts were, and what they use? I do plan to quit as I never found nicotine useful, and with the lifestyle I’ve lived in the past I never picked it up because it makes my anxiety worst, and affects appetite which I already struggle with not to mention sleep problems. Plus it always made drug withdrawals worse so I just always stayed away from it. This, and it affects my concentration. The worst part is even when I use it I always just crave more it’s worse than some of the drugs I fiend in the past. It’s contradictory though because without It I feel anxiety but it causes anxiety. I need it so sleep but it affects my sleep. If I was to keep using it though I would go for nicotine salts just to save money because they are super efficient I know though I do not benefit from continuing use.

Small amounts, way smaller amounts than you'd smoke/snus, of nicotine are a nootropic/cognition enhancer and help to prevent Alzheimer's. Def not a good reason to use tobacco, you'd have to get an inhaler or pill that was specifically made for teeny doses of nicotine.

I smoked on and off for a few years. At first it was social, then the smoking ritual helped keep me calm and was enjoyable. There was sometimes a buzz for a minute or two. Coffee and cigs were a great combo.. until I quit smoking for a few weeks and then.. taaa daa! My taste buds regrew or whatever, food tastes so good, you can't believe, I couldn't believe how noms everything was! I was just thinking about this today.

I tried dip, under the lower lip, nasty stuff, but it would instantly make me sober.

Has anyone tried betel nut? We have a large population of Micronesians here and some chew. I collect cans and bottle to recycle, and we find plastic ones used for spitting in from tobacco/betel.

Yes. I smoked for 20+ years starting in high school. Finally Quit, around 2000 but man... Tobacco is a very tough addiction. . Took me years to quit - NOW, that's in the past & I have wondered about getting some Nicotine Gum, strictly for the Nootropic benefits ? How would that pair with Kratom I wonder.

I'm MAX'ed out on Caffeine.. To the point I need to monitor my intake of coffee & energy drinks, I really enjoy both of those. So Easy to over indulge. Many of the RockStar and Bang! drinks are 300 mg Caffeine per can!!

yeah, i've thought of using nic lozenges, but never followed up on it, the amount would be like... 1/4tablet?! or much less, I dunno.

Usually If I have a cup or two of a dark roast joe, I can feel a moderate effect, but when I drink energy drinks, I don't have that perk!, maybe some shakiness is all if I drink a few. I just consider it like soda with a few extra healthy ingredients (bang, reign).
