After 15 years of nicotine use I can finally say that I’ve lost all cravings for the chemical. I quit regular use about 1.5-2 years ago but I’ve been an occasional user since (like the typical “only when I drink” guy). This evening it dawned on me that I haven’t had any desire for nicotine whatsoever in weeks, it is an amazing feeling..
The point of this anecdote is to tell some of the younger guys we have on this board that addiction is gay as fuck and sucks, but you can beat it through sheer willpower. Don’t let yourself become a slave to some chemical or other artificial happiness, as so many of us have done before. I smoked weed daily all throughout college and dabbled in some other substances as well, quit all of them cold turkey.
Nicotine has always been pushed onto teenagers. First it was cigarettes, then vapes, now Zyn. Don’t get involved, it does not improve your life in any way. All it does is make people who have already gotten hooked on it crave it constantly. If you never use it you won’t be missing out on anything.
The only thing that really makes tobacco bad is the 1000+ chemicals added to commercially available tobacco products.
**462- The Story of Unadulterated Tobacco Made in Nature (Free)

> I imagine most of us think of cancer when we hear the word tobacco, but this was not always the case. There was a time before the corporate adulteration of tobacco. Tobacco is made in nature, which means it serves a purpose in this creation, and as our guest informs us, has a deep-rooted relationship with humans. The plant itself is actually quite beautiful, with flowers that lend themselves to identification of particular types of tobacco. A quick image search for “tobacco flowers” will begin to bring your mind back around to recognizing this amazing plant’s natural state in the creation. The perception of tobacco used to be very different before the modern era. In those times tobacco smoke was known to carry prayers straight to heaven, so to speak. In the Chaco Canyon region of the southwest I was informed by a tribal elder that tobacco was used in the rain ceremony. Simply put, pipes are employed to smoke the tobacco while the clouds of smoke are “imagined” (the key and intention) to be rain clouds. A sober mind might ask – would a culture who has to work hard for everything they have expend energy on things that do not work? For my part, not on your life! But this is the difference between a culture tied closely to nature and one that has been separated from it, as we have been… mostly. To make the point, the so-called classics (myth, literature) that used to form the foundation of education were created by cultures intimately tied to nature. In this truth is found the underlying value (and keys), just beneath the surface narratives. So, let’s see if there is a difference between corporate-processed tobacco and the real McCoy – made in nature, and unadulterated.
prayers carry themselves straight to Heaven. you need no chemical aid.
