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 problem is with vaping is that most of the "liquid" fillers are some chemical shisse without any benefits whatsoever (essentially flavored water)
but apple tabac is very refreshing (esp if its made with real apples and not chemcical shisse) the only health benefits of consuming tabac are basically higher T (because tabac is an aromatese inhibitor which means it blocks estrogen)
but the harmful effects of tobacco are far, FAR too numerous to even consider the benefits...
