I have a Question .I never smoked, aside from bumming a cigarette twice or 3 times a year off someone at a really fun outside event. And I've never dipped. But at the age of 36 I found and started using the nicotine lozenge. It seemed the most practical, low dose and safest way to use, after for months I now use them quite frequently throughout the day. My question is, how much less casonagenic is the lozenge compared to zin or tobacco dip. The mint moves around in my mouth and doesn't really sit in the same spot so it seems like it would be less likely to cause the irritaional form of cancer.
This was the comment I needed to read to inspire me to switch to crack, I’ve been debating for awhile now and this was the push I needed, god bless you, stay strong…
Retired dentist! I diagnosed three patients in 30 years with squamous cell carcinoma. All three smoked and drank alcohol in excess. I have dipped since college. Saw many parents who also dipped. Zero issues but I did advise to relocate each session around the month. I now use Zyn and love them. Peter Attia and Tucker Carlson are two who also use this product. Both have been on UA-cam interviews discussing their preference for Nicotine pouches
true, oral cancer is hyoer rare. A Karolinska Institute stury invoving 418 000 Swedish males followed for 30 years equaling 9.2 million life years concluded a total of 600 oral cancer cases and the normal use of "suns ie 4 cans or less per week, actually reduced the risk of oral cancer with 35% as compared to never-snus users. Quote: No association between moist oral snuff (snus) use and oral cancer: pooled analysis of nine prospective observational studies PMID: 32466721 DOI: 10.1177/1403494820919572 Abstract Aims: Worldwide, smokeless-tobacco use is a major risk factor for oral cancer. Evidence regarding the particular association between Swedish snus use and oral cancer is, however, less clear. We used pooled individual data from the Swedish Collaboration on Health Effects of Snus Use to assess the association between snus use and oral cancer. Methods: A total of 418,369 male participants from nine cohort studies were followed up for oral cancer incidence through linkage to health registers. We used shared frailty models with random effects at the study level, to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for confounding factors. Results: During 9,201,647 person-years of observation, 628 men developed oral cancer. Compared to never-snus use, ever-snus use was not associated with oral cancer (adjusted HR 0.90, 95% CI: 0.74, 1.09). There were no clear trends in risk with duration or intensity of snus use, although lower intensity use (⩽ 4 cans/week) was associated with a reduced risk (HR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.45, 0.94). Snus use was not associated with oral cancer among never smokers (HR 0.87, 95% CI: 0.57, 1.32). Conclusions: Swedish snus use does not appear to be implicated in the development of oral cancer in men.
The dude said cancer is caused by continued irritation of an area lol. Everyone would have some kind of cancer on areas of their body that were constantly being rubbed against which isn’t true. Lol
I saw one of additive mindsets videos in the week and instantly threw my vape away. I thought nah I need to stop. Later the day I lost focus and couldn't do any of my work. Next day I went to buy a disposable... After 7 years addiction but ig I need to slow down than go cold turkey otherwise it'll break me with withdrawals
@@kuro.editzzz the best was to quit is with nicotine replacement therapy, there are approved nicotine gums, patches, and lozenges available in drug stores. depending on the state you're in there might also be a state administered program for people trying to quit nicotine. In florida we have tobaccofreeflorida which delivers nicotine lozenges and patches that become less strong as the weeks pass over a process of 18 weeks
Yeah man, quitting is hard. I've probably stopped like 4 times. I'll go months without vaping/smoking but working a blue collar job (in the south as well) and having a couple of friends who does it makes it 10 times harder to stop. I think it's just a mindset change. If you are really ready to stop, have the mindset that you aren't a vaper anymore. Keep in mind that YOU are in control, not a craving formed from some chemical. Keep it up don't fall back into it
Wow. Been on Zyn pouches for about 2.5 years now to get away from cigarettes and chewing tobacco to be a bit healthier. And recently been thinking a lot about quitting nicotine for good. The extreme anxiety was my main reason to quit, but when you said mouth cancer risk with Zyn, that was enough to send me over the edge to go full send today. I'm not looking back either.
I was on your same boat, I quit and it was very difficult but I think I found a trick to it. I picked up drinking mate tea. It gives you something to do with a kick of caffeine trough out the day.
Not necessarily stupid, I always wanted to smoke from a very young age, and I didn't start till I was 16. Then did 15 yrs on ciggy, 12 yrs on vape, now 3 month on pouches. A mistake yes, but not stupid 😅
I have to contradict him. In England and Switzerland, vaping is considered 95% less harmful than cigarettes and is paid for by health insurance for people who want to stop smoking. Tobacco, even if it has not been burned, is also considered to be significantly more carcinogenic than vapes
Totally agree. I find it sad that he puts all vaping under his "bad" umbrella but does not do the same for gums etc. People who are vaping nic salts from reputable companies is definitely safer if done so on a safe device such as Caliburn or Xros for instance. I hope cigarette smokers are not discouraged and will try vaping to get off cigarettes ( I just started vaping to quit a 1 1/2 pack a day cigarette habit.) Another note regarding vape juice. Synthetic nicotine is WAY safer for you and a lot of salt nic vape juice is going to that. I just learned this on a Ben Greenfield UA-cam video/podcast with Ben Katz. Anyway, I hope a lot of people see your comment.
Man, I just switched over to zyn/rogue pouches from the disposable vapes like posh and sheesh. And it’s been 6 days on the pouches and I’m still craving the vape because the oral fixation of smoking something, but it is getting better. Now these pouches are really irritating the inside of my bottom lip and not so much my gums. I feel like the long cut chew I used to do like skoal and Copenhagen back in the day didn’t eat my lip up this bad. I’m doing 6-10 pouches a day. I want to get off of nicotine completely but this has been a battle for over half my life and I just turned 30. Thanks for the good information man. Good videos!
Any time I see one of my friends with a new vape after they've never touched nicotine I tell them something along the lines of "welcome to the club you're never allowed to leave" 😂 once nicotine touches you. You'll never forget about it
I picked up vaping in high school and have quit twice. The second time i started was intentionally self-destructive. I've chewed nicorette and im using patches right now. Combining sublingual or transdermal with caffeine just helps me focus on work. I will never go back to smoking or vaping anything. At some point, I'll try zyn, but until then im fine with gum or patches. Moderation is key, the goal is to prevent tolerance buildup
On pouches comes in 1.5 mg if you special order it from the website. I use the 2mg and 3mg for zyn. I still smoke, in the morning and at night but have eliminated the majority of it. Which was hard af because I’m a truck driver
@@Newishrevolution1 yeah I actually did start using Zyns and other than the sting they're wonderful. Co workers offer their vapes all the time and it's pretty easy to say no. I also noticed with Zyn once one is in I dial into whatever I am doing for like half an hour. Just me, my earbuds, and the task at hand. They're great, just pricey for what they are
@@KojackBanglesVDFW prices are pretty outrageous lol. i would recommend trying Zones (dumbass name ik). they come in 9mg and it’s $4 for a can of 20. they do burn a bit but im not really bothered by it.
Just a note about vaping. It is possible to get dry vape devices that are not disposable. They work by heating the tobacco and inhaling the the vapor. There is no flame or combustion. Works great for weed too.
@@LanIsOriginal ah yeah dry herb vape I tried that, couldn't get to grips with it. Seemed more potent? Got oil thc vape. Might give my mighty medic another go 🤞
One thing no one mentions about quitting is the book “The Easy Way To Quit Smoking” by Allen Carr. Just read the book! I smoked for 33 years and have been nicotine free for 3 years. ❤️
Nasal snuff (European not so much American) has really helped me kick most every other form of nicotine. I encourage anyone trying to at least drop the nicotine levels way down check it out and do your own snooping. There is obviously many reasons why it seems wild to put powdered tobacco product in your nose but with a good nasal hygiene routine and getting the technique down if really the most enjoyable form of tobacco I have ever used and I have used quite literally all of them. It is low nicotine content, big hit and no you don't snort it like other substances just a gentle sniff places it in the lower part of the nose and you blow it out when you feel like. Ill shut up now, try it its helped me greatly.
If you look purely at the nitrosamine, aldehyde, and overall toxic chemical content, nicotine pouches are by far the safest, even when compared to Snus and nicotine gum. It would take 30 Zyns or 300 ON pouches to equal the same nitrosamine and formaldehyde content as a single Snus pouch. Nicotine gums have also been found to contain trace amounts of radioactive metals. They don't contain formaldehyde, but they do contain a whole host of other toxic chemicals MJ smoke also contains many of the same carcinogens as cigarettes. However, it also contains tons of anti carcinigens that help to cancel out those cancer causing chemicals. That's why most studies on smoking MJ have not found a significant risk of lung cancer. It still damages your lungs in other ways, but the risk of malignancies is very low when compared to smoking tobacco products.
I had to use the patch to quit zyn. I'd really recommend never touching them i was ridiculously addicted. Every hour I'd pop a new one just to feel normal
I just think it’s fun sometimes. I do one pouch of 6mg zyn maybe 1 or 2 times a week at the end of the work day. Never more than that and I’d never let myself do more than that.
Did exactly this, haven't used a vape in like a month now, went from cigs to vape and now to zyn. I'm using like a can of zyn every 3 days so I'd say it's an improvement
@@willmullinsmusic I did the same thing, was a pack a day smoker since high school and switched to vapes back when box mods were still the norm. Once covid hit and New York banned flavored vapes it caused all the local vape shops to close their doors for good. I switched to disposable vapes and noticed a significant increase in breathing issues and irritation from vaping so I switched to Zyns this year and haven't looked back. I feel so much better now and can go much longer without nicotine cravings.
That’s wonderful hope you’re still going strong. I’m so anxious to quit.. I went out and purchased my “quit kit”… gum.. candy and snacks.. two vapes left.. I have a lot to get through this week and not good time to quit but after these two I have to try and I think cold turkey is the only way for me. It was so much easier in the past to quit cigs but vaping, because it’s so easy and more constant it’s like an emotional codependency.. feels like an extra limb at this point 😂
I smoked 20/day and stopped cold turkey for 8 years after which I started vaping. Stopped vaping cold turkey for 2 years and started vaping nic salts. Slowly switched to pouches and ended up doing 15-25 pouches per day. These pouches are by far the worst! They gave me anxiety, panic attacks, dizziness, no motivation, depression, gut issues, elevated BP and heart rate, brain fog, exhaustion etc etc. all while I kept on telling myself these are healthier.
I made the decision about 2 years ago to start vaping. I've lost 30 pounds since then and kept it off. I knew the risks going in, and I know that some day I'm going to see the consequences of it, but I don't really care. I would do it again. Now, I'm not going to say by any means that nicotine is good for you, but it does seem a little suspicious that this video was basically a sponsorship of some weird dietary supplement.
@@AddictionMindset Haha I know. British humour (and spelling! lol). I absolutely love what you do on here. I'm currently hooked on the 2 main _Smokables_ and I am gleaning so much from you that I didn't know before. I've quit before but this helps build strategies to quit in the future. Thanks!!
Not necessarily looking to quit but looking to minimize harm. I have noticed that since I stoped consuming nicotine my food consumption has increased astronomically.
@ I eat well, and go to the gym on a consistent schedule. I just can’t sit still without consuming something. Whether it’s Diet Coke or sparkling waters I’m always consuming. I crushed a 12 pack of sparkling waters yesterday just cause I can’t focus or just relax without some sort of consumption. Zyn so far has helped settle that alot, although I know it’s not sustainable long term also cost of that is not as cheap as it seems
I'm 26 became addicted to 🌽 at 9 or 10, smoking trees and drinking regularly at 14. Popping pills, doing psychedelics at 16. Started snorting coke and smoking cigarettes at 18. Became a heroin & crack addict at 22. Continued to smoke trees and drink regularly until I got hooked on heroin. I'm a year clean from all drugs except nicotine as of Jan 1st. Trying to lose weight and get healthy and vaping was making my chest hurt before I ever started working out. I picked up a zyn today in an attempt to quit vaping, I'd really like to be done with nicotine altogether. After getting clean I finally realized I have an extremely addictive personality. Don't know whether bi polar disorder, ADHD and childhood trauma were the main reasons but I'm sure they didn't help along with losing my father from cancer at 6 years old.
just want to say some things about this things,pls dont,all the social media and tik tok trying are made me try zyn and etc,all my co workers made me smoke,and all my friends made me vape,but its all on me,used to smoke a little bit then vape and its been like 2 week im on zyn,velo killa and etc, im stoping all this things for good,dont let anyone fool you,pls keep your self safe
If I had blame something for making me smoke- it was literally 1 tv show in particular ( maybe 2 of you count how cool Tommy looked smoking in peaky blinders). Mind hunter on Netflix, the one detective guy tells his partner after noticing how nervous he is, “ if you smoked, you wouldn’t be nervous…” That was all it took beside the aesthetic feature.
I agree that disposable vapes should be more transparent about the ingredients on their packaging. It baffles me that disposable companies are not required to clearly display the amount of nicotine in mg and people still use them. Then again neither do cigarette companies openly show nicotine levels on theirs. At least with vaping, there is a hobbyist market that use reusable devices and source their own fluid. Here vapers are in much better control of the type of e-liquid they use in their vapes and they are well aware of what they are actually vaping and the exact nicotine levels inside of it.
I OD’ed on ashwaghanda, had digestive distress for about a month. With bleeding and everything. Then there was about 3 stressful months of ruling out cancer. I was taking 3-4x recommended dose though. Remember that ashwaghanda is nightshade family, can mess you up. Treat it with respect.
@@areebatariq5476 made me feel better, it’s an upper kinda like coffee. Removed stress while i was taking it. Stabilized mood. Makes you more energetic. It works, but like everything, use in moderation. I personally won’t be touching it, too afraid.
@@areebatariq5476 i have no idea about anxiety and panic attacks, I’m fortunate enough not to be afflicted by such things, I basically used it as nootropic and for that, it worked well. It does improve mental capacity or rather makes you think it does. Obviously everything I say here is anecdotal.
Vaping doesn’t just cause lung issues - I started to develop GERD. I quit and my issue diminished almost immediately- I used Nicotine Lozenges from the pharmacy
I've used all of those products, but mainly cigarettes and dip...used each one for ~20 years. I worked in every aspect of the golf business (asst golf professional, outside operations ie cleaning carts, picking up range, and golf course maintenance mowing greens, fairways, tees, etc), and that is where I picked up dipping. I used between one and two cans of dip a day and it destroyed my teeth. I currently am a light nicotine user...delivery method of choice is lozenges or pouches.
I’ve tried about all types and gotta say vaping was definitely the worst. My body felt way worse than with anything else. Would always wake up with a dry mouth and burning lungs. Never experienced this with cigarettes and yes it definitely has to do with only smoking a few cigs a day vs sucking on a vape all day. Luckily I have quit both and have lowered down to pouches. Little by little I will quit nicotine
Today is 30 days cold turkey, no nicotine whatsoever after 20 years. Occasionally still get cravings and triggers like waking up or stressful situations. I'm committed. This is the last time i quit nicotine. I was vaping constantly even before i quit cigs in January, even right before sleep. Finally got that "pay raise." No longer will i slave to that urge. Bought a new electric toothbrush and flosser with saved vape money. Tooth stains are gone. You can do it too. It sucks, but cold turkey is the only solution that worked for me. Weening off did not.
I chewed tobacco since 2006. No issues. Tried Zyn felt weird and stopped. I stick with realpauches. I am also on TRT which increases blood flow to all those areas😅 you spoke off.
Velo and ZYN definitely irritated my inner lip/ gum. More than that, it gave me crazy and very frequent heart palpitations (and beats would skip all the time). I quit a few months ago and I feel great. No more heart palpitations and less moody as well.
@@AddictionMindset Yes, it’s not side effect free, like smarty pants biohacking podcasters with brand deals want you to think. Any benefits will go away once you get used to it and you’re left with only negatives.
@@Omar-wm8pq Less than a week I’d say. I went cold turkey from 1.5 packs of Velo a day. Definitely healthier gums. I like the empowerment of “not being a slave to nicotine” (that’s how I put it in my head).
@@GYMETRIUSyeah that’s my main motivation as well, good to hear from you bro, I cold tirkeyed a few days ago from about 3-4 individual nicotine pouches a day but they were each 17mg nicotine
Everything causes cancer i just had my right nut cut off because of testicular cancer and that wasn't good enough because it spreaded to my lymph nodes in my abdomen so then i was gutted abd had my lymph nodes removed so im quitting smoking and going with the pouches before i die of lung cancer
Informative video, but I find it peculiar that you talk about Zyn being nic salt. Do you mean a.k.a synthetic? Because Zyn does not use synthetic nicotine. I recently contacted their customer service and they replied that the nicotine is extracted from the tobacco plant. At least this is the case with the swedish Zyn.
Alkaloid extracts from plant matter is often done using an acid base titration. My understanding is the acids bind to the alkaloid to form salts. Hydrochloric acid makes HCL, citric acid makes citrate, etc.
Fantastic breakdown bro. Decided to go back to skoal pouches. Vaped for over ten years after being a pack and a half a day smoker and I think pouches are a lesser evil.
I am someone whos smokes nothing probably unlike many of you but hearing about zyn makes me consider trying it I am in a period of life where benefits of nicotine would come in handy what would you advise?
I mean you will most likely get addicted, increased heart rate and blood pressure, more restlessness, some lethargy here and there. Those are the main risks. You’re an adult so it’s your choice
DONT do it, it’s all propaganda to get you on them. Only take these if you’re already addicted to smoking nicotine heavily. You will get addicted and it runs deep
Same, I've never been addicted to anything and I've tried most things. I dont smoke cigs or vape, maybe little weed here and there but definitely not addicted and I want to try zyn for better concentration and focus. Is it a bad idea?
I’m trying to find a way to just get nicotine in its purest form. No chemicals, no flavorings, nothing but nicotine. And I’m wondering if I can get my hands on actual organic tobacco leaves. Or maybe just grow my own and boil them and drink the water or something. I really don’t think it’s nicotine that’s the problem, but other things added. I think nicotine is actual a healthy supplement, in relatively low doses,
I been using the nicotine gum since I quit vaping. I started when I was 18 and I'm 25 now and I quit last year but relapsed several times. But since I started the gum it's helped but now I'm hooked on the gum and can't get off
Try replacing the gum with non nicotine I notice for me it’s the habit of putting gum in that’s really getting to me Also put regular gum in a ZYN can your brain will kinda register it as nicotine gum not non nicotine gum it helps a TON
Really big question I need to know! Do zyns affect your lungs or heart? I’ve tried searching it through many times and can’t find anything useful there all telling me different.
Ive been switching between cigarettes and vapes since 13 7 days ago the battery in my disposable vape burst open and i accidentaly inhaled a small amount of the battery acid i am lucky that im not severely hurt switched to nicotine pouches straight away after that and i am very gratefull for the wake up call
I quit smoking a pack per day for 20 years some 25 years ago now. Just put them down, struggled for only one week. After that week the smell from other smokers became repulsive.
Trying to switch to zyns today from vaping. Fingers crossed it will help me quit, my biggest thing about the addiction isn't even rlly the nicotine, it's the inhaling part that gives me the good feeling. So hopefully using zyn will limit my nicotine depency until I get used of not being able to inhale it.
Nic Nac Naturals are the cleanest Nicotine Ive found, theyre not bad and not crazy addicting. I got 5 to try, used them over a month and a half, and stopped like that.
U have to consider that only a small amount of nicotine is absorbed by most vapers, the young kids are going silly on them taking big lung hits because clouds are cool 😎 i agree the vapes need to be monitored and probably by prescription like australia is doing but personal refillable mods should still be available to adults who dont want to smoke cigaretes. I was a pack a day smoker i now vape around 3 ml of 12 mg juice per day for the last 8 years on the same flavour for 8 years mixing my own juice with 100mg per ml, capella mango and vegitable glycerine and its saved my life if you seen how un healthy i was.... We cant even import the replacement coil elements in australia since a few months back so i guess i will end up smoking again 😢
might be fun to do a respiratory specific video going over rarer things like snuff, hookah, pipe tobacco, cigars, different types of vaporizers, different modalities for marijuana like vaporizers and edibles, tinctures, etc.
From my experience and on the contrary to what ive been told and from videos I’ve watched, the nicotine delivery from cigars is very weak compared to cigarettes. I can’t speak on the health effects, because I’m not a doctor, but I will say that quitting can be done, but you’ll need to space them out. Go as long as you possibly can without smoking them and restrict it to nighttime use only. That should help bring the level of nicotine you require down to the level in your chosen cigar (different brands and offerings have different levels). From there, you would gradually taper off by even more so spacing out smoking sessions and reducing your nicotine intake.
I've done almost all of these, though zyn and vaping were my 2 main ways of delivery. I had a nicotine relapse at the end of January but I've made it the whole month of February no nicotine. Outside of an occasional craving, it isn't something I long for much. Realistically, I could live with myself if I had an occasional hit of nicotine, but every time I've tried that, it's led to full-blown relapse. Better to stay off the stuff entirely.
People have better control at first as well as not smoking everyday. Even when they do end up smoking everyday they might smoke less cigarettes a day at first and get worse over time but come to a limit
started smoking cigs when I was 13 and started vaping instead when I was 15 about a year ago I started having snus as well, as im writing this I have a 100mg snus in and I've tried to quit a couple times but i've found it harder to quit than pills and coke
You keep saying "I think". How much of this is based on research and how much is this just your "opinion"? There is some good information out there for example on the NHS website on all the myths on vaping and what you're saying sounds like a lot of these myths. For example that vaping a whole disposable is worse than smoking 2 cigarettes a day - not true. You do have long term studies, even if they don't go as far back as for smoking. We do have enough science to be able to make a statement on if vaping is extensively less harmful than smoking cigarettes. I encourage you to quote more credible sources rather than talking about a medical subject with - as you admit - your opinion, rather than actual science. To be very frank, I don't care about your "opinion". I care about facts. And I care about people who can't make the distinction between opinions and facts, to not be fed with misinformation. This isn't an attack, I hope you take this as constructive feedback. Nonetheless, thank you for trying to put more information out there regarding this important topic, I do appreciate it.
I started Zyn a few days ago to self-medicate. I was tired and irritable and not very motivated. The rush and then the calm afterwards were both very helpful for what I was looking for, but I wanted to keep the feeling longer. Then on the third day, (I had done 2, then 3, then 4 each day when I started.) I started feeling my heart pumping, noticeably, while just sitting. My extremeties were cold and I was beggining to feel anxious as well. It wore off and I felt normal and woke up the next day in a somewhat chill state. I took only one pouch the next day when I woke up to avoid it doing that again. Was going fine, then I had a big meal 2 hours after my pouch was done. I then became hyper lethargic and then once that eased up I could feel my heart going hard again and this time I was in a mild state of panic, probably a panic attack. Im not sure what is what, because I felt none of these the first two days of trying nicotine, but the 3rd and 4th days were not fun. Day 5 now and Im unsure what I should do. I hate the idea that Im damaging my vascular health. But it really did help my mood in the way I wanted.
I feel the same way. I quit today. It causes anxiety, breathing problems and heart pumps fast just sitting. It doesn’t suit me. I feel low and stomach is always upset.
I went from cigarettes to chew and noticed my addiction go WAY up, smoked roughly 5 to 10 cigarettes a day to dipping 2 to 4 times a day with a skol pouch and had to stop after about 6 months bc I could tell it was putting way more nicotine into my system. Now I vape the small pens like the vuse and hate it bc I use it ALL day if I can. Looking to replace the habit with something better
I agree there are shitty companies sometimes but there also some very high quality companies selling vape juice and products with fantastic quality control
Thanks for the information. I definitely am not comfortable swallowing the zyn juices.... i spit it out and wash my mouth after every pouch. The spit is a huge drawback to me. Might as well dip at that point... i got a water bottle and everything. I find the spitting to be way grosser than cig smell. Even after just a couple days switching to zyn from cigs. Ive already noticed a number of negative oral side effects. Also I'm skeptical of the QC of zyn pouches... there seems to be significant variation in some pouches potency (using 3mg, cool mint. Going to try smooth next) ive had 3-4 pouches out of 3 zyn packs have noticeably higher amounts of nicotine. Usually its just a light burn for me but sometimes the burn is like 10x stronger than normal and it felt like more nicotine than the 6mg pouches. I also have noticed way more cravings for nicotine after switching to zyn like you described. I never smoked more than 1/2-3/4 pack a day. Zyns have helped me stop cigs but the cravings hit like 20 times a day instead of like 10 times. I tried cigs again after switching to zyn and smoking definitely results in less cravings for me not that, its better but man is it weird trying to use an alternative to quit only to practically double the cravings 😂 still seems like an improvement somehow
The problem with zyn is i don't get disgusted, after or 2 or 3 cigs a day im like blagh.. with zyn i just keep pumping it in me until I goto bed and it gives me anxiety, the dead on about having to go outside and smell because with vape im constantly vaping
I would say vaping definitely has the higher additive possibility but I would point out that a possible reason for such a high problem with young people developing problems is because they start at such a young age when the brain is still developing causing the addiction to be worse. I started at 22 and I have felt like Ive kept it under control where Ill go through a dis between a week n a half to 2 which isn’t terrible. Where as I know kids who will go through a juul in one day

Man dr frank I know u choosing a disposable vape 😂
isn't pasteurization a heat process?
I have a Question .I never smoked, aside from bumming a cigarette twice or 3 times a year off someone at a really fun outside event. And I've never dipped. But at the age of 36 I found and started using the nicotine lozenge. It seemed the most practical, low dose and safest way to use, after for months I now use them quite frequently throughout the day. My question is, how much less casonagenic is the lozenge compared to zin or tobacco dip. The mint moves around in my mouth and doesn't really sit in the same spot so it seems like it would be less likely to cause the irritaional form of cancer.
@squirrel69877 you realize the lozenges are a quitting alternative right?

We used shared frailty models with random effects at the study level, to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for confounding factors. Results: During 9,201,647 person-years of observation, 628 men developed oral cancer. Compared to never-snus use, ever-snus use was not associated with oral cancer (adjusted HR 0.90, 95% CI: 0.74, 1.09). There were no clear trends in risk with duration or intensity of snus use, although lower intensity use (⩽ 4 cans/week) was associated with a reduced risk (HR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.45, 0.94). Snus use was not associated with oral cancer among never smokers (HR 0.87, 95% CI: 0.57, 1.32). Conclusions: Swedish snus use does not appear to be implicated in the development of oral cancer in men.
I use zyn too but there is always the risk of periodontal disease 🦠 I think 🤔
@@TheTonyF no it does not, what colors the teeth in say cigs or dip is the tobacco that has a natural brown dye that releases.
I relocate all around my mouth and drink water and wash my mouth out after cheers retired dentist I also use Sweden zyns only
The dude said cancer is caused by continued irritation of an area lol. Everyone would have some kind of cancer on areas of their body that were constantly being rubbed against which isn’t true. Lol
I have never smoked a cigarette in my life, but took up vaping a couple years ago out of curiosity. The addiction is real
How are you doing now ? I’ve managed to stop vaping
after 7 years of addiction
I saw one of additive mindsets videos in the week and instantly threw my vape away. I thought nah I need to stop. Later the day I lost focus and couldn't do any of my work. Next day I went to buy a disposable... After 7 years addiction but ig I need to slow down than go cold turkey otherwise it'll break me with withdrawals
@@kuro.editzzz the best was to quit is with nicotine replacement therapy, there are approved nicotine gums, patches, and lozenges available in drug stores. depending on the state you're in there might also be a state administered program for people trying to quit nicotine. In florida we have tobaccofreeflorida which delivers nicotine lozenges and patches that become less strong as the weeks pass over a process of 18 weeks

i’m tryna start
I want to try-out these to get rid of smoking
43 days cold Turkey - vape cravings are still unbearable - highly depressed
They’ll go
Vaping is deadly dangerous....I have been heavy smoker followed by vaping and finally SNUS..
Yeah man, quitting is hard. I've probably stopped like 4 times. I'll go months without vaping/smoking but working a blue collar job (in the south as well) and having a couple of friends who does it makes it 10 times harder to stop. I think it's just a mindset change. If you are really ready to stop, have the mindset that you aren't a vaper anymore. Keep in mind that YOU are in control, not a craving formed from some chemical. Keep it up don't fall back into it
whats your diet like ?
Keep going bro you’ll look back and be happy
Wow. Been on Zyn pouches for about 2.5 years now to get away from cigarettes and chewing tobacco to be a bit healthier. And recently been thinking a lot about quitting nicotine for good. The extreme anxiety was my main reason to quit, but when you said mouth cancer risk with Zyn, that was enough to send me over the edge to go full send today. I'm not looking back either.
I was on your same boat, I quit and it was very difficult but I think I found a trick to it. I picked up drinking mate tea. It gives you something to do with a kick of caffeine trough out the day.
Goodluck and hope u can kick it for good 👍
If u didn't know u could get mouth cancer before this video. Ur a dissapointment of a human being
like he said its mostly if you repeatedly place it in the same spot, you could place it in different spots everytime
So, how's it going?
We start because we are stupid and uneducated, then we learn, sadly by then it’s too late. The addiction goes deep.
Not necessarily stupid, I always wanted to smoke from a very young age, and I didn't start till I was 16.
Then did 15 yrs on ciggy, 12 yrs on vape, now 3 month on pouches. A mistake yes, but not stupid 😅
@@TrevUkwell it doesn’t exactly seem smart bud.. call it what you will 😂
I smoke a tobacco pipe occasionally, but don't inhale. I do not use any other Nicotine products though.
Yeah pipes cigars def the only nicotine you should consume (occasionally obviously)
Some guys in there 90s smoke cigar every day
I have to contradict him. In England and Switzerland, vaping is considered 95% less harmful than cigarettes and is paid for by health insurance for people who want to stop smoking. Tobacco, even if it has not been burned, is also considered to be significantly more carcinogenic than vapes
@baiseduezcke2295 cant they smoke nicotine free vapes?
Totally agree. I find it sad that he puts all vaping under his "bad" umbrella but does not do the same for gums etc. People who are vaping nic salts from reputable companies is definitely safer if done so on a safe device such as Caliburn or Xros for instance. I hope cigarette smokers are not discouraged and will try vaping to get off cigarettes ( I just started vaping to quit a 1 1/2 pack a day cigarette habit.) Another note regarding vape juice. Synthetic nicotine is WAY safer for you and a lot of salt nic vape juice is going to that. I just learned this on a Ben Greenfield UA-cam video/podcast with Ben Katz. Anyway, I hope a lot of people see your comment.
Vapes are 10x more addictive
i think that he was taking about the disposable vape
You must be high. Zero % true. Vapes ate essy af to give up. Smokes are 300% harder. @@adamturner6465
Man, I just switched over to zyn/rogue pouches from the disposable vapes like posh and sheesh. And it’s been 6 days on the pouches and I’m still craving the vape because the oral fixation of smoking something, but it is getting better. Now these pouches are really irritating the inside of my bottom lip and not so much my gums. I feel like the long cut chew I used to do like skoal and Copenhagen back in the day didn’t eat my lip up this bad. I’m doing 6-10 pouches a day. I want to get off of nicotine completely but this has been a battle for over half my life and I just turned 30.
Thanks for the good information man. Good videos!
Unpopular opinion, regular moist dip pouches were the least problematic for me
@@AddictionMindset I honestly might switch to those again.
Wonder if this guy has opinions on Zippix toothpicks.
Zyn does that to my lips try velo it does not do that to me.
@@AddictionMindset what brand would you recommend if one is going to use this to stop smoking?
If you are not addicted to nicotine now listen to me don't just don't ever trust me.
Yep. I wish I can go back to 2012 and smack myself in the face for starting vaping. Didn’t even smoke prior
Commas are important.
@@percelliravioli yeah if I would have put the word starting their it would have been helpful too
Any time I see one of my friends with a new vape after they've never touched nicotine I tell them something along the lines of "welcome to the club you're never allowed to leave" 😂 once nicotine touches you. You'll never forget about it
@@percelliraviolihad to re-read this like 5 times to figure out where the commas were needed lol
just switched from vaping to zyns, feel much better and can breathe better
The nicotine fix you get from a cigarette or dip is much more filling and long lasting compared to the non tobacco nicotine products
I picked up vaping in high school and have quit twice. The second time i started was intentionally self-destructive. I've chewed nicorette and im using patches right now. Combining sublingual or transdermal with caffeine just helps me focus on work. I will never go back to smoking or vaping anything. At some point, I'll try zyn, but until then im fine with gum or patches. Moderation is key, the goal is to prevent tolerance buildup
On pouches comes in 1.5 mg if you special order it from the website. I use the 2mg and 3mg for zyn. I still smoke, in the morning and at night but have eliminated the majority of it. Which was hard af because I’m a truck driver
@@Newishrevolution1 yeah I actually did start using Zyns and other than the sting they're wonderful. Co workers offer their vapes all the time and it's pretty easy to say no. I also noticed with Zyn once one is in I dial into whatever I am doing for like half an hour. Just me, my earbuds, and the task at hand. They're great, just pricey for what they are
Zyn is def not the answer- it raises your addiction 10 fold, my anxiety was off chart, my sleep was bad
I was using niccotine patches but those didn't seem to work good enough and it was 40 dollars a box. I started zyn and its 4 dollars every 4 days.
I wish it was $4 in DFW TX, they cost upward of $6-$8. I’ve been getting the grizzly nicotine pouches and it’s only $6.22
@@KojackBanglesVDFW prices are pretty outrageous lol. i would recommend trying Zones (dumbass name ik). they come in 9mg and it’s $4 for a can of 20. they do burn a bit but im

Where would you think products like nicotine gum and lozenges rank in a list like this?
Just a note about vaping. It is possible to get dry vape devices that are not disposable. They work by heating the tobacco and inhaling the the vapor. There is no flame or combustion. Works great for weed too.
Holy shit I've never thought about that, pretty brilliant though!
I got one for weed it's awesome.

One thing no one mentions about quitting is the book “The Easy Way To Quit Smoking” by Allen Carr. Just read the book! I smoked for 33 years and have been nicotine free for 3 years. ❤️
Happy people don’t keep the track of time.
Nasal snuff (European not so much American) has really helped me kick most every other form of nicotine. I encourage anyone trying to at least drop the nicotine levels way down check it out and do your own snooping. There is obviously many reasons why it seems wild to put powdered tobacco product in your nose but with a good nasal hygiene routine and getting the technique down if really the most enjoyable form of tobacco I have ever used and I have used quite literally all of them. It is low nicotine content, big hit and no you don't snort it like other substances just a gentle sniff places it in the lower part of the nose and you blow it out when you feel like. Ill shut up now, try it its helped me greatly.
Couldn't agree more! Planning on sticking solely with snuff after I run out of snus
Smoked around a pack a day for 6 years straight and was able to quit using nicorette gum 7 years clean and one of the hardest thing to quit haha
If you look purely at the nitrosamine, aldehyde, and overall toxic chemical content, nicotine pouches are by far the safest, even when compared to Snus and nicotine gum. It would take 30 Zyns or 300 ON pouches to equal the same nitrosamine and formaldehyde content as a single Snus pouch. Nicotine gums have also been found to contain trace amounts of radioactive metals. They don't contain formaldehyde, but they do contain a whole host of other toxic chemicals
MJ smoke also contains many of the same carcinogens as cigarettes. However, it also contains tons of anti carcinigens that help to cancel out those cancer causing chemicals. That's why most studies on smoking MJ have not found a significant risk of lung cancer. It still damages your lungs in other ways, but the risk of malignancies is very low when compared to smoking tobacco products.
vaping made me more sick than smoking cigarettes because of ease of use. very good point made here
Vaping give crazy anxiety especially the disposable ones with alot salt nic. After i stopped anxiety slowly improved. Be careful guys!
I had to use the patch to quit zyn. I'd really recommend never touching them i was ridiculously addicted. Every hour I'd pop a new one just to feel normal
Yea zyn is not a glorious as they are saying- the addiction is way more intense than cigs
Zyn user here, it helped me quit cigs. I also spit it, using maybe 4 a day tops sometimes 0.
Ive been swallowing zyn juice for several months and its has completely wrecked my gut. Sent me to the ER
I just think it’s fun sometimes. I do one pouch of 6mg zyn maybe 1 or 2 times a week at the end of the work day. Never more than that and I’d never let myself do more than that.
Going to quit vaping now and switch to zyn. I vape all day 24/7 so it’s gonna be really tough. Hope it helps
I’m on day 2 of making the switch been vaping heavy everyday for 7 years
First one and I’m buzzed for the first time in so long 🤣🤣
Did exactly this, haven't used a vape in like a month now, went from cigs to vape and now to zyn. I'm using like a can of zyn every 3 days so I'd say it's an improvement
@@willmullinsmusic I did the same thing, was a pack a day smoker since high school and switched to vapes back when box mods were still the norm. Once covid hit and New York banned flavored vapes it caused all the local vape shops to close their doors for good. I switched to disposable vapes and noticed a significant increase in breathing issues and irritation from vaping so I switched to Zyns this year and haven't looked back. I feel so much better now and can go much longer without nicotine cravings.
Lozenges also contain Ace K if anybody was wondering.
What exactly is ace k?
Quit vaping cold turkey 30 days ago. Just been eating candy. It’s been brutal but worth it.
That’s wonderful hope you’re still going strong. I’m so anxious to quit.. I went out and purchased my “quit kit”… gum.. candy and snacks.. two vapes left.. I have a lot to get through this week and not good time to quit but after these two I have to try and I think cold turkey is the only way for me. It was so much easier in the past to quit cigs but vaping, because it’s so easy and more constant it’s like an emotional codependency.. feels like an extra limb at this point 😂
I smoked 20/day and stopped cold turkey for 8 years after which I started vaping. Stopped vaping cold turkey for 2 years and started vaping nic salts. Slowly switched to pouches and ended up doing 15-25 pouches per day. These pouches are by far the worst! They gave me anxiety, panic attacks, dizziness, no motivation, depression, gut issues, elevated BP and heart rate, brain fog, exhaustion etc etc. all while I kept on telling myself these are healthier.
Yea you’re doing 25/day😂. Thats insane. And spit out the first couple saliva accumulations.
Jesus! No wonder you have massive side effects. You’re using pouches 15-25 times per day! Self control!
I made the decision about 2 years ago to start vaping. I've lost 30 pounds since then and kept it off. I knew the risks going in, and I know that some day I'm going to see the consequences of it, but I don't really care. I would do it again.
Now, I'm not going to say by any means that nicotine is good for you, but it does seem a little suspicious that this video was basically a sponsorship of some weird dietary supplement.
At first I thought you were going to do a Jacob Jones and Smoke *All* of these haha
😂no me and Jacob are not the same
@@AddictionMindset Haha I know. British humour (and spelling! lol).
I absolutely love what you do on here. I'm currently hooked on the 2 main _Smokables_ and I am gleaning so much from you that I didn't know before. I've quit before but this helps build strategies to quit in the future. Thanks!!
Not necessarily looking to quit but looking to minimize harm. I have noticed that since I stoped consuming nicotine my food consumption has increased astronomically.
Have you tried introducing more fat? Butter, bacon, avocados, nuts?
@ I eat well, and go to the gym on a consistent schedule. I just can’t sit still without consuming something. Whether it’s Diet Coke or sparkling waters I’m always consuming. I crushed a 12 pack of sparkling waters yesterday just cause I can’t focus or just relax without some sort of consumption. Zyn so far has helped settle that alot, although I know it’s not sustainable long term also cost of that is not as cheap as it seems
Bro this is so thorough
Thank you for discussing this topic
I'm 26 became addicted to 🌽 at 9 or 10, smoking trees and drinking regularly at 14. Popping pills, doing psychedelics at 16. Started snorting coke and smoking cigarettes at 18. Became a heroin & crack addict at 22. Continued to smoke trees and drink regularly until I got hooked on heroin. I'm a year clean from all drugs except nicotine as of Jan 1st. Trying to lose weight and get healthy and vaping was making my chest hurt before I ever started working out. I picked up a zyn today in an attempt to quit vaping, I'd really like to be done with nicotine altogether. After getting clean I finally realized I have an extremely addictive personality. Don't know whether bi polar disorder, ADHD and childhood trauma were the main reasons but I'm sure they didn't help along with losing my father from cancer at 6 years old.
just want to say some things about this things,pls dont,all the social media and tik tok trying are made me try zyn and etc,all my co workers made me smoke,and all my friends made me vape,but its all on me,used to smoke a little bit then vape and its been like 2 week im on zyn,velo killa and etc, im stoping all this things for good,dont let anyone fool you,pls keep your self safe
If I had blame something for making me smoke- it was literally 1 tv show in particular ( maybe 2 of you count how cool Tommy looked smoking in peaky blinders). Mind hunter on Netflix, the one detective guy tells his partner after noticing how nervous he is, “ if you smoked, you wouldn’t be nervous…” That was all it took beside the aesthetic feature.
I agree that disposable vapes should be more transparent about the ingredients on their packaging. It baffles me that disposable companies are not required to clearly display the amount of nicotine in mg and people still use them. Then again neither do cigarette companies openly show nicotine levels on theirs.
At least with vaping, there is a hobbyist market that use reusable devices and source their own fluid. Here vapers are in much better control of the type of e-liquid they use in their vapes and they are well aware of what they are actually vaping and the exact nicotine levels inside of it.
great content bro keep it up
I very recently quit smoking after 10 years. However I did switch to general snus white portion and I never want to smoke again.
I use an herb vaporizer with pipe tobacco. I don't inhale and the flavor is amazing.
I vape and i don't inhale as well👉👍

@@bald_chicken magnesium is better than ashwaganda probably
@@areebatariq5476 i have no idea about anxiety and panic attacks, I’m fortunate enough not to be afflicted by such things, I basically used it as nootropic and for that, it worked well. It does improve mental capacity or rather makes you think it does. Obviously everything I say here is anecdotal.
Vaping doesn’t just cause lung issues - I started to develop GERD. I quit and my issue diminished almost immediately- I used Nicotine Lozenges from the pharmacy
I've used all of those products, but mainly cigarettes and dip...used each one for ~20 years. I worked in every aspect of the golf business (asst golf professional, outside operations ie cleaning carts, picking up range, and golf course maintenance mowing greens, fairways, tees, etc), and that is where I picked up dipping. I used between one and two cans of dip a day and it destroyed my teeth. I currently am a light nicotine user...delivery method of choice is lozenges or pouches.
Zyns also have formaldehyde in them which can cause cancer but I never hear anybody talk about that.
I’ve tried about all types and gotta say vaping was definitely the worst. My body felt way worse than with anything else. Would always wake up with a dry mouth and burning lungs. Never experienced this with cigarettes and yes it definitely has to do with only smoking a few cigs a day vs sucking on a vape all day. Luckily I have quit both and have lowered down to pouches. Little by little I will quit nicotine
Today is 30 days cold turkey, no nicotine whatsoever after 20 years. Occasionally still get cravings and triggers like waking up or stressful situations. I'm committed. This is the last time i quit nicotine. I was vaping constantly even before i quit cigs in January, even right before sleep. Finally got that "pay raise." No longer will i slave to that urge. Bought a new electric toothbrush and flosser with saved vape money. Tooth stains are gone. You can do it too. It sucks, but cold turkey is the only solution that worked for me. Weening off did not.
I have heard it NOT the nicotine but the process and CHEMICALS in it!!
I chewed tobacco since 2006.
No issues.
Tried Zyn felt weird and stopped.
I stick with realpauches.
I am also on TRT which increases blood flow to all those areas😅 you spoke off.
Thankyou so much for you time and effort great information
thanks for the great video man! cheers to you and your husband!
Velo and ZYN definitely irritated my inner lip/ gum. More than that, it gave me crazy and very frequent heart palpitations (and beats would skip all the time). I quit a few months ago and I feel great. No more heart palpitations and less moody as well.
Yup all day! People forget that nicotine is a drug and causes problems these days
@@AddictionMindset Yes, it’s not side effect free, like smarty pants biohacking podcasters with brand deals want you to think. Any benefits will go away once you get used to it and you’re left with only negatives.
How long did it take you not to crave it and did you cold turkey? Also do your gums feel healthier now?
@@Omar-wm8pq Less than a week I’d say. I went cold turkey from 1.5 packs of Velo a day. Definitely healthier gums. I like the empowerment of “not being a slave to nicotine” (that’s how I put it in my head).
@@GYMETRIUSyeah that’s my main motivation as well, good to hear from you bro, I cold tirkeyed a few days ago from about 3-4 individual nicotine pouches a day but they were each 17mg nicotine
Aggred. Tobacco has become more dangerous when you burn and inhale. In Nepal some people chew fresh tobacco mix with chuna and live long.
Everything causes cancer i just had my right nut cut off because of testicular cancer and that wasn't good enough because it spreaded to my lymph nodes in my abdomen so then i was gutted abd had my lymph nodes removed so im quitting smoking and going with the pouches before i die of lung cancer
What about NIcotine gum and nicotine mints?
Yea
Informative video, but I find it peculiar that you talk about Zyn being nic salt. Do you mean a.k.a synthetic?
Because Zyn does not use synthetic nicotine. I recently contacted their customer service and they replied that the nicotine is extracted from the tobacco plant. At least this is the case with the swedish Zyn.
Alkaloid extracts from plant matter is often done using an acid base titration. My understanding is the acids bind to the alkaloid to form salts. Hydrochloric acid makes HCL, citric acid makes citrate, etc.
Oh, ok! Thanks for clarifying @@thecheeseman1662 👌🏻
Fantastic breakdown bro. Decided to go back to skoal pouches. Vaped for over ten years after being a pack and a half a day smoker and I think pouches are a lesser evil.
I am someone whos smokes nothing probably unlike many of you but hearing about zyn makes me consider trying it I am in a period of life where benefits of nicotine would come in handy what would you advise?
I mean you will most likely get addicted, increased heart rate and blood pressure, more restlessness, some lethargy here and there. Those are the main risks. You’re an adult so it’s your choice
DONT do it, it’s all propaganda to get you on them. Only take these if you’re already addicted to smoking nicotine heavily. You will get addicted and it runs deep
Same, I've never been addicted to anything and I've tried most things. I dont smoke cigs or vape, maybe little weed here and there but definitely not addicted and I want to try zyn for better concentration and focus. Is it a bad idea?
I’m trying to find a way to just get nicotine in its purest form. No chemicals, no flavorings, nothing but nicotine. And I’m wondering if I can get my hands on actual organic tobacco leaves. Or maybe just grow my own and boil them and drink the water or something. I really don’t think it’s nicotine that’s the problem, but other things added. I think nicotine is actual a healthy supplement, in relatively low doses,
I been using the nicotine gum since I quit vaping. I started when I was 18 and I'm 25 now and I quit last year but relapsed several times. But since I started the gum it's helped but now I'm hooked on the gum and can't get off
Try replacing the gum with non nicotine I notice for me it’s the habit of putting gum in that’s really getting to me
Also put regular gum in a ZYN can your brain will kinda register it as nicotine gum not non nicotine gum it helps a TON
@@smokey-smore thanks for the advice. Will definitely give it a go. Much appreciated
Really big question I need to know! Do zyns affect your lungs or heart? I’ve tried searching it through many times and can’t find anything useful there all telling me different.
Heart yes, lungs not sure
what about smokeless tobacco? ive heard that one is relatively safe, and ive been using pouches for awhile but im worried about gum recession.
What helps is chewing cloves ! Cheap and healthy (organic ones)..good luck!

I quit smoking a pack per day for 20 years some 25 years ago now. Just put them down, struggled for only one week. After that week the smell from other smokers became repulsive.
Perfect analysis 🙏
Trying to switch to zyns today from vaping. Fingers crossed it will help me quit, my biggest thing about the addiction isn't even rlly the nicotine, it's the inhaling part that gives me the good feeling. So hopefully using zyn will limit my nicotine depency until I get used of not being able to inhale it.
I switched to zyn last week from vaping for 4 years it works for me. Upper deck and grab a coffee straw to chew on
I'm trying to switch .
Nic Nac Naturals are the cleanest Nicotine Ive found, theyre not bad and not crazy addicting. I got 5 to try, used them over a month and a half, and stopped like that.
U have to consider that only a small amount of nicotine is absorbed by most vapers, the young kids are going silly on them taking big lung hits because clouds are cool 😎 i agree the vapes need to be monitored and probably by prescription like australia is doing but personal refillable mods should still be available to adults who dont want to smoke cigaretes.
I was a pack a day smoker i now vape around 3 ml of 12 mg juice per day for the last 8 years on the same flavour for 8 years mixing my own juice with 100mg per ml, capella mango and vegitable glycerine and its saved my life if you seen how un healthy i was....
We cant even import the replacement coil elements in australia since a few months back so i guess i will end up smoking again 😢
might be fun to do a respiratory specific video going over rarer things like snuff, hookah, pipe tobacco, cigars, different types of vaporizers, different modalities for marijuana like vaporizers and edibles, tinctures, etc.
Why are nicotine pouches not mentioned?
11:20 they are mentioned.
Can you add chapters / timestamps please?
I went 3 weeks, bought pouches 2 nights ago, gave to my friend to throw away, then bought another the next day (today)
What about cigars? I will quit cigarette but i want to start smoking cigars.
From my experience and on the contrary to what ive been told and from videos I’ve watched, the nicotine delivery from cigars is very weak compared to cigarettes. I can’t speak on the health effects, because I’m not a doctor, but I will say that quitting can be done, but you’ll need to space them out. Go as long as you possibly can without smoking them and restrict it to nighttime use only. That should help bring the level of nicotine you require down to the level in your chosen cigar (different brands and offerings have different levels). From there, you would gradually taper off by even more so spacing out smoking sessions and reducing your nicotine intake.
I've done almost all of these, though zyn and vaping were my 2 main ways of delivery. I had a nicotine relapse at the end of January but I've made it the whole month of February no nicotine. Outside of an occasional craving, it isn't something I long for much. Realistically, I could live with myself if I had an occasional hit of nicotine, but every time I've tried that, it's led to full-blown relapse. Better to stay off the stuff entirely.
Sadly you didn’t mention about Iqos.
Another important side effect of nicotine is decreased collagen production, and also decreased stem cell activation.
Hey bro, can you do a video on if your lungs still heal if you quit cigs, but still smoke weed?
Can nicotine pouch cause skin burning or alergy specially in face neck and back without raches?
For some it may be easy to stop cold turkey on vape you just have to go thru a process called “research and scaring ur self” 😂😂
Love you Dr. Frank. Hopefully One day I can afford a session
People have better control at first as well as not smoking everyday. Even when they do end up smoking everyday they might smoke less cigarettes a day at first and get worse over time but come to a limit
I have stopped smoking and use nicotine gum and zyn sometimes. Definitely feel more energy and better health wise
changing a liquid to a vapor is just changing the state of matter. Burning something is in fact a chemical chain reaction
started smoking cigs when I was 13 and started vaping instead when I was 15 about a year ago I started having snus as well, as im writing this I have a 100mg snus in and I've tried to quit a couple times but i've found it harder to quit than pills and coke
How about
nicotine sprays?
You keep saying "I think". How much of this is based on research and how much is this just your "opinion"? There is some good information out there for example on the NHS website on all the myths on vaping and what you're saying sounds like a lot of these myths. For example that vaping a whole disposable is worse than smoking 2 cigarettes a day - not true. You do have long term studies, even if they don't go as far back as for smoking. We do have enough science to be able to make a statement on if vaping is extensively less harmful than smoking cigarettes. I encourage you to quote more credible sources rather than talking about a medical subject with - as you admit - your opinion, rather than actual science. To be very frank, I don't care about your "opinion". I care about facts. And I care about people who can't make the distinction between opinions and facts, to not be fed with misinformation. This isn't an attack, I hope you take this as constructive feedback. Nonetheless, thank you for trying to put more information out there regarding this important topic, I do appreciate it.
I started Zyn a few days ago to self-medicate. I was tired and irritable and not very motivated. The rush and then the calm afterwards were both very helpful for what I was looking for, but I wanted to keep the feeling longer.
Then on the third day, (I had done 2, then 3, then 4 each day when I started.) I started feeling my heart pumping, noticeably, while just sitting. My extremeties were cold and I was beggining to feel anxious as well. It wore off and I felt normal and woke up the next day in a somewhat chill state. I took only one pouch the next day when I woke up to avoid it doing that again. Was going fine, then I had a big meal 2 hours after my pouch was done. I then became hyper lethargic and then once that eased up I could feel my heart going hard again and this time I was in a mild state of panic, probably a panic attack. Im not sure what is what, because I felt none of these the first two days of trying nicotine, but the 3rd and 4th days were not fun. Day 5 now and Im unsure what I should do. I hate the idea that Im damaging my vascular health. But it really did help my mood in the way I wanted.
I feel the same way. I quit today. It causes anxiety, breathing problems and heart pumps fast just sitting. It doesn’t suit me. I feel low and stomach is always upset.
I went from cigarettes to chew and noticed my addiction go WAY up, smoked roughly 5 to 10 cigarettes a day to dipping 2 to 4 times a day with a skol pouch and had to stop after about 6 months bc I could tell it was putting way more nicotine into my system. Now I vape the small pens like the vuse and hate it bc I use it ALL day if I can. Looking to replace the habit with something better
I agree there are shitty companies sometimes but there also some very high quality companies selling vape juice and products with fantastic quality control
How much research has this guy done on snus?
Thanks for the information. I definitely am not comfortable swallowing the zyn juices.... i spit it out and wash my mouth after every pouch. The spit is a huge drawback to me. Might as well dip at that point... i got a water bottle and everything. I find the spitting to be way grosser than cig smell. Even after just a couple days switching to zyn from cigs. Ive already noticed a number of negative oral side effects. Also I'm skeptical of the QC of zyn pouches... there seems to be significant variation in some pouches potency (using 3mg, cool mint. Going to try smooth next) ive had 3-4 pouches out of 3 zyn packs have noticeably higher amounts of nicotine. Usually its just a light burn for me but sometimes the burn is like 10x stronger than normal and it felt like more nicotine than the 6mg pouches.
I also have noticed way more cravings for nicotine after switching to zyn like you described. I never smoked more than 1/2-3/4 pack a day. Zyns have helped me stop cigs but the cravings hit like 20 times a day instead of like 10 times. I tried cigs again after switching to zyn and smoking definitely results in less cravings for me not that, its better but man is it weird trying to use an alternative to quit only to practically double the cravings 😂 still seems like an improvement somehow
Out of curiosity what is the difference between zyn products and losenges
What about nasal snuff?
I've seen Alex Pereira the UFC champion using zyn after his fight vs brohazka, could it be that there is some benefits in it for the athletes?
Thank you for your transparency!
The problem with zyn is i don't get disgusted, after or 2 or 3 cigs a day im like blagh.. with zyn i just keep pumping it in me until I goto bed and it gives me anxiety, the dead on about having to go outside and smell because with vape im constantly vaping
I would say vaping definitely has the higher additive possibility but I would point out that a possible reason for such a high problem with young people developing problems is because they start at such a young age when the brain is still developing causing the addiction to be worse. I started at 22 and I have felt like Ive kept it under control where Ill go through a dis between a week n a half to 2 which isn’t terrible. Where as I know kids who will go through a juul in one day
