Quitting nicotene basically removed any sort of anxiety and stress I had in my life. I forgot what it feels like to not need a substance constantly. The first week is the worst. If you get past that your gonna be fine
I just relapsed after 36 days of being nicotine free due to stress from studies. I’m actually surprised to see how little it did despite going for the highest dose I previously used. It’s not really much of a nootropic or a fun substance compared to the detrimental effects it has. It’s not worth the constant pain and cravings for a few minutes of ‘cognitive enhancement’. Wish me luck guys, I hope I’ll get rid of it for good this time.
yeah everytime I relapse I also think about how it was not even close to worth it -- it really does not give me all these "benefits" you hear people talk about, just cravings here
Nicotine can be a little b***h my friend. They say it’s harder to kick than heroin for a reason. It’s such a short high/buzz that it causes your brain to constantly crave it. Nicotine addiction is nothing but your mind playing tricks on you to try and get you to relapse until it completely consumes your thoughts (not to mention lungs). That ‘cognitive enhancement’ is nothing but BS marketing and can easily be recreated using meditative breathing techniques. I’ve been clean for who knows how long and still get those stupid fkng cravings but I’d rather eat delicious food and get fat than smoke my life away ever again. Best of luck on this hell of a journey.
You can do it. It takes all of us multiple times to finally quit. I smoked 2.5 packs a day. It was the hardest thing I ever did but my last cigarette was 33 years ago.
As a user of zyn 6mg for the last 6 years. This is sad to see. I am free of the addiction now 140 days. Here is the dark side nobody shows. ED, high blood pressure, less endurance, mood swings, major gum bleeds, loss of enjoyment in anything outside of nicotine. When I quit I craved my hobbies again and no lie got smarter and sleep much better! This stuff is toxic and poisonous!!
Yeah it's like hearing a heroin addict talk about how great they feel when they consume their drug of choice. Like of course you feel good because getting your next fix makes the withdrawal symptoms go away temporarily.
That used to be me until it started showing regret in using stronger products cause theyre good for the brain. That's totally doable thinking Now off of them 5 days in
25 days free of nicotine today.....just beginning to see some rays of sunshine after 3 weeks of absolute horror withdrawal symptoms. I literally thought I was losing my mind. Stick with it folks, it does get better.
25 days of nicotine withdrawal?! I'm on day 15 and it's MUCH easier than when I began, with just 1-2 cravings a day that last no more than 30seconds. I'm shocked to hear you're struggling 25 days in, but maybe you were like super addicted. Good luck!
I’m about a month in as well. I felt fine after 3 days. It’s hard when I am aground friends that use it. When I see me friends this weekend it will be a test for me.

That’s not how you quit smoking weed that’s going to make the weed withdrawal worse Try alcohol jk it would work a little tho The best option is smaller and smaller amounts of weed though there’s less than no benefit to quitting cold Turkey it just makes you less likely to succeed
@@nothanks9503 I did quit cold turkey WITH ZYN 😂 the very first time I tried zyns is when I quit it was like oh this shits a way better addiction fuck weed
I began smoking when I was 18 in college. I have tried pouches, Vaping, Gum. I found that vaping helped me quit smoking last in july (1 year ago exactly) Vaping was more addictive to me and I still get the urge to buy a disposable vape nearly every day, I'm currently taking 5-6 4mg nicotine gums a day. I find it helps with my focus but increases my anxiety a little bit. nicotine addiction is so hard.
Sobriety from ALL drugs and stimulants is so sadly understated, most will never know the freedom it gives you in all areas of life. Been off all caffeine and nicotine for just two weeks after my sleep and mental health being in the gutter despite eating super healthy and staying moderately active.

I love how you also promote other products other than your own. Shows you truly want to help people 😎. Had my last hit of nicotine 30 minutes ago, gonna watch your videos to help me quit!
I almost think nicotine is harder to quit than anything. When I quit hard drugs I was doing it because if I didn't I would've died. When I quit weed it was because it was destroying my life and holding me back. But with cigarettes there are rarely any instant horrific side effects or scares or fears. So we end up stuck using nicotine for a mild buzz, physically addicted and for what? It's so frustrating yknow? I don't even smoke too many cigs a day, probably 5 or less, but why keep doing it when I've quit everything else? 😭 Even the action of taking out a cigarette, vape, pouch, gum it's an addictive ritual. We get fixated on the action alone which becomes addictive. It's a crazy loop. Definitely highly addictive.
@@ciaraskeleton I used to use a drug that rhymes with Seth because of a guy who was into me introducing it to me. I loved it so much because I could pull all nighters playing gta 5 and doing crazy good in the game. My brother once he found out ended up taking it from under my bed and disposing of it. Because of him I wasn't on it for that long and I never ended up doing it again.
I agree with your statement. Patches are the best way to microdose nicotine use. It helped me quit smoking and nicotine down the line. I used step 2 and then step 3 patches for just 3 weeks and smoking addiction was gone, along with nicotine addiction. It supplies nicotine in our bloodstream in such a low amount throughout the day, that we are easily able to get rid of that "nicotine rush" addiction.
Cant stand this new narrative about nicotine people are pushing of “oh it makes you focused” well yeah, you’re addicted to it, you’re not any more focused than if you weren’t addicted to it altogether imo. When I was addicted to nicotine, the only stress it was relieving was the stress to the actual addiction I was feeding.
Yeah, it knocks your socks off. Used to make my whole body numb. Gotta be horrible for ya. After a week of a few a day, my tolerance built up. But yeah, nicotine can get you 10x higher than weed. Seems to be horrible for getting you hooked and messing with dopamine levels
in europe i mostly see 50mg pouches of snus, for those who dont know, its pretty much the same as zyn just much stronger. So for me its kinda wild that people think 6mg is a lot.
For the first time in 7 years I can proudly say that I’m 13 days sober. I know it’s only a few short days, but so far I already feel a million times better. Get through the first 72, focus on staying strong through the first week, then it gets much easier I promise! Thank you Dr. Frank!
I do half a mg, usually about three times a week. I time it with meetings or lectures. It helps me with listening. I still need to review the material the next day. If I need to write a document, it helps with procrastination. tI gets the ball rolling.
Ehhhh alcohol is the worst drug on all metrics and the withdraw can kill you but I’ve quit drinking for years at a time and smoked cigarettes for over a decade so you might be right
@@nothanks9503 Yes alcohol is the most dangerous drug, but nicotine is much more addictive. Alcohol can take decades to really addict you, nicotine is days.
What started as a nootropic ended with doing 20 x 11 mg. pouches per day for 7 years. Be careful!!! Your tolerance will build quickly, and your heart doesn't do well on those crazy doses. I just managed to quit recently and I'm just as sharp mentally as I was before.
All this will do is resurge a horrible habit we were getting away from. People will be strung out on nicotine because people (generally) lack discipline and are easily addicted. This will not take us anywhere good.
My boyfriend was causing me too much of a dopamine release. I had to let him go until I am firmly sober. I smoke my last few cigarettes and then will stay sex, masturbation, relationship, alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine free. All feed each other. I am going into monk mode. I love you, Chris. I will return victorious once my dopamine is rebalanced and finally stable. Took a minute to get it under control but I am on day 10 today. Still single. It did work. So yall can chill in these replies.
lmao, why even life then? The point of life is to enjoy the experience. Why purposely remove natural pleasures like sex and masturbation. I feel so bad for your boyfriend or anyone else that knows you IRL.
Some people don’t understand. I get it completely. Once you take a break from all that, you will notice that you have to also keep an eye on sugar. A sugar drink will get your dopamine going crazy. I slowed everything down and am officially in monk mode as of this month. I’m sure it will be a while before my brain is back to normal. Looking forward to it tho. I had to look myself in the mirror and ask “is most my happiness because of chasing a dopamine high?” lol. Most the time it probably was Wish you the best
0 to 8 mg a day is good in my opinion. 4 mg to get up & going if you have pain in the morning. I tolerate it better than coffee, which disrupts sleep and feels more addictive to me because the effect is much longer lasting.
I've been able to moderate pipe smoking -- usually 1-3 bowls per day. I rarely feel compelled to go above that because my palate tires of it. I don't know how much nicotine I'm absorbing from it, but suspect it's more like a micro-dose since I, like most pipe smokers, don't inhale and it takes upwards of an hour to consume a bowl. I feel a mild elevation of mood, but not a buzz like cigarette smokers describe (I've never had one myself). For me at least, it's less addictive than coffee/caffeine. I will skip the pipe entirely some days, but I can't fully function without at least a couple of cups of coffee or some other form of caffeine. From the pipe smokers I know in person and online, my experience is fairly typical; although, there are some who will chain smoke his pipe all day.
Nicotine-It’s not like it’s anywhere near something like Adderall, which REALLY boosts things like dopamine and actually treats deficits like ADHD and narcolepsy. And yes, nicotine can help with focus A LITTLE for a like a first time user, but with constant use, overtime your brain adapts and then you’re just using nicotine all the time just to feel “normal” again. -addict of 4 years here
I use to vape, use zyns, smoke stoges. Whatever I could do to get my fix. I was constantly on nic, even when I went to sleep I'd have a zyn and/or vape under my pillow. I'd wake up to hit the nic and than proceed to have crazy sleep paralysis and vivid lucid dreams. My chest started hurting so i stopped.
The most important testimonials we need are those from people who have never associated it with a habit or in combination with other chemicals that create unknowns.
I got off the nicotine gum a few years ago or more after chewing daily for years quit ciggs over 30 years ago. Now on day one no weed. Over 4 years no alcohol.
I quit nicotine after constantly vaping the highest mg nicsalt on the market for years. Through God all things are possible. The gum really helped too haha
I've been addicted to nicotine for 10 years and honestly i've never felt any of the positive effects other than fullfiling the needs that addiction to the substance has created itself (like feeling less stressed because you satisfy your cravings or just being able to connect with other addicts during a ciggie brake or in the other social circumstances). In my opinion (and in the opinion of the smokers i've been talking to) it's the most stupid addiction you can actually get into since it brings nothing to the table. If you were a regular smoker and you were able to quit for some time and then smoke one cigarette after a while you propably would feel absolutely nothing excluding pleasant taste of earthy/nut flavour you wouldn't experience if you a smoke regularly since your tastebuds ain't working the same way and maybe a little dizziness. Even in my hometown there is a homeless guy that would do every drug on this planet and still he would say he ain't that stupid to smoke cigarettes 😂
I wonder what would happen if they tested Lions Mane to cure nicotine addiction? I’m a non-smoker but I have never taken any supplement as awesome as Lions Mane. It makes me focused and relaxed.
What do you recomend if nicotene actually helps your mental health? From a young age ive always felt like im missing something to feel "normal" and nicotene made that go away. I dont know how id deal with that if i quit vaping.
Yup! I addressed that at the end of the video. Low dose patches, or low dose gum/ mints. I suppose you could go low dose nicotine pouches but those and gum are a bit risky. All safer than vaping in my opinion.
It's extremely addictive. Then eventually you go back to smoking. Nicotine also lowers your insulin sensitivity and that's really bad. I felt really shaky and nauseous after and it's never a good sign.
Is it really true that nicotine reduces blood flow to the brain? When I search it up some articles says it does and some doesnt. Do a vid about it as well going in to more detail, that way it sticks more and the consequences of lack of blood flow to the brain
Choline uses same brain receptors as nicotine, it's a edible nutrient. So in theory it should have same effects, maybe not as long lasting or concentrated
I just want to be sober. But don't have the passion anymore bc I've tried for 3 years and failed and failed and failed. I hate my life I give up and I have no reason in trying anymore
Disclaimer: by someone who thought they were addicted to weed but was actually deep in nicotine addiction. There are no benefits to nicotine. Don't ever start and quit today!
Also I'd like to share 2 tips for chainsmokers who like to get high: 1. Focus on quitting weed first and see the benefits of having a clear mind and feeling fresher. 2. If you really feel the need to be intoxicated after a week or two, have a few beers and chain smoke instead, you will realise you never liked weed - you actually are addicted to chainsmoking whilst intoxicated! One step and day at a time, we got this! *Alcohol is dangerous but using a few beers in the short term can be helpful to show you reduced brain fog from intoxication!
people are quiting cigarets so big companies bought off "influencers" to promote new highly adictive profuct. Big money, becouse remember how long and hard you fought to quit that shit. they dont care about you, just start consuming product, they need money
Addiction is loss of control over use and continued use despite negative life consequences. A person technically can be physically dependent without being addicted.
Unfortunately I got addicted to nicotine for the second time of my life after seven years abstinence! I regret taking my first hit of a friends vape 2 months ago. The experience was intense! I know it’s so bad for me and I was doing so well before I started so I’m working towards quitting again.
Do you think having to drink one coffee a day is an addiction? I crave not the high but the taste. Caffeinated just doesn’t taste the same from the same brand and blend.
Nicotine was the hardest drug for me to kick (Cigarettes, Pouches, Gums, Black and Milds, Vaping), finally kicked that 2 1/2 months ago from a 30 year habit, and THC was the easiest (1 month ago). Quitting alcohol and caffeine at the same time 2 months ago got me off nicotine, and I was able to quit THC shortly after that. I relapsed the most on nicotine.
This is crazy to see. I have struggled with nicotine addiction since I was 13 and I’m 44 now. I’ll quit for long periods and then relapse. I’ve gotten it done from a pack a day to very tiny amounts and only occasionally for the last 2 years but I’m still using, even if it is quite a low amount. I wish I had never even tried it. It does nothing really for you and if you don’t keep it in check you can get out of hand with it quite quickly. I really like this video.
I quit nicotine when I realized that this drug doesn't make any person better in any way. They are just looking for the good sides to comfort their addiction. While quiting nicotine i quit also all nicotine addicted friends because hanging out with them was just boring and frustrating. Now i feel I'm living my life purposefully, raising kids, loving my wife and doing business what i love without lame nicotine associated disturbances
Yeah im gonna quit smoking cigarettes. I quit weed and its been almost a month. Now feels like the time for me to quit cigarettes. I hate smoking anything. Im so sick of smelling gross, my mouth tasting gross, feeling like i have to compulsively roll a cigarette just for it to make me feel a bit sick and more anxious. Im so done with smoking anything. I want pink lungs 🫁😢
I been pondering on quiting cold turkey thanks for the thoughts i decided to subscribe and apologize for unsubscribing i unsubscribed because i was quite concerned for my health best wishes sir.
Hi thank you for this video timing is perfect, i have pretty severe ADHD and in the past i really didn’t want to be medicated with stimulants because of health reasons but now im failing to fulfill my duties in life i find that caffeine and nicotine can be very helpful but i worry about all the problems you just described so its a toss up for me because idk what is worse caffeine nicotine or adderal i know i need help from doctors and EF therapy but i dont have insurance rn i know you aren’t a psychiatrist but man you would make a good one if find that i have to do alot of work on my own to figure out how to take care of myself because of my mental health like yesterday i wanted to have a drink or a smoke 💨 so instead i went to the gym but i ended up doing like 70mins cardio until i threw up 🤮 yeah its better than drinking but man i do struggle to moderate at the same time being totally sober and healthy my mind still isn’t capable of doing what i need to do in life
bro im totally on the boat with you, no worries brother, i would say try to moderate everything at the beggining, i mean, try to moderate now, do not go to excesses, because we tend to do that sht, now, so for example, instead of cigarette, vape, instead of superloaded coffeees, just a few a day and medium, fvck adderal, and excercise will always save you, always has saved my life, i will say this is our way out, to become addicted to the fitness life, i am actually like that already, but im still struggling with the nicotine, used to do a lot of drugz, now i only vape nicotine, and a lot of exercise and coffee, but its so much better than all of the other sht, so just moderate yourself, and do all the basics to the best, like eating good, sleeping good, good hygiene, all the good stuff, i believe in you and me brother, take care, send you peace!
Nicotine and caffeine are suposed to be taken as a treat, not in a daily basis so you depend on them. Plus when you doing them occasionally, you enjoy the effect much much more.
Ive had 3 times of nicotine poisoning since i started vaping and its been years but i am vaping a lot more. But i like it. Im vaping right now. The pouces make those annoying long events tolerable and enjoyable
Really love your videos. However for anyone looking at your "craveless" supplement, it is literally just a small dose of KSM-66 ashwaganda and NAC which you could buy separately for a third of what your charging
You are so right ▶️👍👍👍👍👍 amazing content...I remember watching all those pod cast when they first came out ....and I went out and bought my first zen #6yearsonjuul
i find doing 1-2 three milligram pouches a day (and missing some days) to be easy to moderate. i dont have any cravings or anything when i come off of them. i specifically use them before working on something as well
Has anybody had success quitting everything? I stopped vaping but I still smoke cigars once in a while which isn't good. I find it almost impossible to quit everything as daily I look forward to some sort of stimulant like caffeine, preworkout, cigar, etc.. I feel like I can't get dopamine from just living a normal life like when I was in high school I didn't do anything addiction wise and I wasn't happy.
Interesting video. I am on day 5 of quitting cigarettes. I tried a step 2 nicotine patch and felt horrible. (Smoked 12-18 cigarettes per day) I tried a step 3 patch. It’s helped me break the physical habit of smoking but day 3 off smokes was still pretty bad. I think I’m gonna push through Friday with the patch and try going nicotine free on day 8 this weekend.

Yeah, it knocks your socks off. Used to make my whole body numb. Gotta be horrible for ya. After a week of a few a day, my tolerance built up. But yeah, nicotine can get you 10x higher than weed. Seems to be horrible for getting you hooked and messing with dopamine levels
Speedball
Am still trying to quit it.. am trying to quit it after I finished the batch
in europe i mostly see 50mg pouches of snus, for those who dont know, its pretty much the same as zyn just much stronger.
So for me its kinda wild that people think 6mg is a lot.
Wait till you see ice berg
Im 70 days nicotine free :) Stay strong.
Congratulations! That's amazing! Keep it up!
@@SOBERMethodManager thank you bro, was difficult but not a problem anymore :)
For the first time in 7 years I can proudly say that I’m 13 days sober. I know it’s only a few short days, but so far I already feel a million times better. Get through the first 72, focus on staying strong through the first week, then it gets much easier I promise! Thank you Dr. Frank!
I do half a mg, usually about three times a week. I time it with meetings or lectures. It helps me with listening. I still need to review the material the next day. If I need to write a document, it helps with procrastination. tI gets the ball rolling.
yup this is exactly what I am talking about.
For me I can ride out the withdraw after a decade or so of use unless I have to deal with people then I get way too angry way too easy
I quit smoking 10 years ago. I found it baffling this new push to use nicotine. It is the most addictive drug by far.
Ehhhh alcohol is the worst drug on all metrics and the withdraw can kill you but I’ve quit drinking for years at a time and smoked cigarettes for over a decade so you might be right
@@nothanks9503 Yes alcohol is the most dangerous drug, but nicotine is much more addictive. Alcohol can take decades to really addict you, nicotine is days.
The nocotine buzz dissappears after just a couple weeks of use. I havnt felt in years
The best way to end an addiction is not to start one. Why are we allowing a new generation to get addicted to nicotine.
What’s Your screen time?
What started as a nootropic ended with doing 20 x 11 mg. pouches per day for 7 years. Be careful!!! Your tolerance will build quickly, and your heart doesn't do well on those crazy doses. I just managed to quit recently and I'm just as sharp mentally as I was before.
Huberman advocating for nicotine is tragic. He’s a smart person. He should know better.
Very sad. Nobody needs drugs
@@richardrussell4065 nobody needs drugs? 😂 puritanical horse shit.
All this will do is resurge a horrible habit we were getting away from. People will be strung out on nicotine because people (generally) lack discipline and are easily addicted. This will not take us anywhere good.
I love you, whatever your name is.
youre doing Gods work.
im benefitting
Have you made a video of your process of quiting and why your sarted with first and how long it took to be fully sober?
No 😂 I should
@@AddictionMindsetyes absolutely. Personal nicotine story.
This hit hard Dr. Frank. 1 day nicotine free so far after you posted this video. My doctor prescribed Chantix and I’m having some crazy side effects.
I just went to the restroom the first time without vaping and it was not pretty lol
Ughhh good luck
My boyfriend was causing me too much of a dopamine release. I had to let him go until I am firmly sober. I smoke my last few cigarettes and then will stay sex, masturbation, relationship, alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine free. All feed each other.
I am going into monk mode. I love you, Chris. I will return victorious once my dopamine is rebalanced and finally stable.
Took a minute to get it under control but I am on day 10 today. Still single. It did work. So yall can chill in these replies.
Bs you’ll f someone else 😂
Lol WTF..
@@RenzorTheRedMONK MODE!
lmao, why even life then? The point of life is to enjoy the experience. Why purposely remove natural pleasures like sex and masturbation. I feel so bad for your boyfriend or anyone else that knows you IRL.
Some people don’t understand. I get it completely.
Once you take a break from all that, you will notice that you have to also keep an eye on sugar. A sugar drink will get your dopamine going crazy.
I slowed everything down and am officially in monk mode as of this month. I’m sure it will be a while before my brain is back to normal. Looking forward to it tho.
I had to look myself in the mirror and ask “is most my happiness because of chasing a dopamine high?” lol. Most the time it probably was
Wish you the best
supplementing with choline (alpha GPC) can help restore the focus - nicotine works on acytlcholine receptors!
Yes!!! Exactly I mentioned that one in the end of the vidoe
You can say this about anything if you abuse anything will cause major side effects, sugar for instance
This is just an ad for his nicotine gum
Never had that s-IT and never will im proud of myself😌
0 to 8 mg a day is good in my opinion. 4 mg to get up & going if you have pain in the morning. I tolerate it better than coffee, which disrupts sleep and feels more addictive to me because the effect is much longer lasting.
I agreed it's a drug people think since it's legal it's ok
Nearly 8 months Nic free with your help doc
I've been able to moderate pipe smoking -- usually 1-3 bowls per day. I rarely feel compelled to go above that because my palate tires of it. I don't know how much nicotine I'm absorbing from it, but suspect it's more like a micro-dose since I, like most pipe smokers, don't inhale and it takes upwards of an hour to consume a bowl. I feel a mild elevation of mood, but not a buzz like cigarette smokers describe (I've never had one myself). For me at least, it's less addictive than coffee/caffeine. I will skip the pipe entirely some days, but I can't fully function without at least a couple of cups of coffee or some other form of caffeine. From the pipe smokers I know in person and online, my experience is fairly typical; although, there are some who will chain smoke his pipe all day.
Nicotine-It’s not like it’s anywhere near something like Adderall, which REALLY boosts things like dopamine and actually treats deficits like ADHD and narcolepsy.
And yes, nicotine can help with focus A LITTLE for a like a first time user, but with constant use, overtime your brain adapts and then you’re just using nicotine all the time just to feel “normal” again.
-addict of 4 years here
you dint need meth in a pill to be normal
@@Gelato41_ definitely agree! I just mean nicotine doesn’t seem as strong as some other stuff out there
Its almost as if these guys get sponsored by Zinn...
I use to vape, use zyns, smoke stoges. Whatever I could do to get my fix. I was constantly on nic, even when I went to sleep I'd have a zyn and/or vape under my pillow. I'd wake up to hit the nic and than proceed to have crazy sleep paralysis and vivid lucid dreams. My chest started hurting so i stopped.
nicotine does not relieve real stress. a hit of nicotine only temporarily relieves the constant stress of being hooked on nicotine.
you could get a similar, lower risk nootropic effect from green tea smh
The most important testimonials we need are those from people who have never associated it with a habit or in combination with other chemicals that create unknowns.
I got off the nicotine gum a few years ago or more after chewing daily for years quit ciggs over 30 years ago. Now on day one no weed. Over 4 years no alcohol.
One of your best vids i enjoyed this bro
Thanks!
I quit nicotine after constantly vaping the highest mg nicsalt on the market for years. Through God all things are possible. The gum really helped too haha
I've been addicted to nicotine for 10 years and honestly i've never felt any of the positive effects other than fullfiling the needs that addiction to the substance has created itself (like feeling less stressed because you satisfy your cravings or just being able to connect with other addicts during a ciggie brake or in the other social circumstances). In my opinion (and in the opinion of the smokers i've been talking to) it's the most stupid addiction you can actually get into since it brings nothing to the table. If you were a regular smoker and you were able to quit for some time and then smoke one cigarette after a while you propably would feel absolutely nothing excluding pleasant taste of earthy/nut flavour you wouldn't experience if you a smoke regularly since your tastebuds ain't working the same way and maybe a little dizziness. Even in my hometown there is a homeless guy that would do every drug on this planet and still he would say he ain't that stupid to smoke cigarettes 😂
yeah some crazy dudes know that cigs are from hell
Quitting vaping was the hardest thing I’ve ever done it was the only thing in my life that I enjoyed other than eating and sleeping
I wonder what would happen if they tested Lions Mane to cure nicotine addiction? I’m a non-smoker but I have never taken any supplement as awesome as Lions Mane. It makes me focused and relaxed.
What do you recomend if nicotene actually helps your mental health? From a young age ive always felt like im missing something to feel "normal" and nicotene made that go away. I dont know how id deal with that if i quit vaping.
Yup! I addressed that at the end of the video.
Low dose patches, or low dose gum/ mints. I suppose you could go low dose nicotine pouches but those and gum are a bit risky. All safer than vaping in my opinion.
Im addicted to coffee already why would i want more attachements
It's extremely addictive. Then eventually you go back to smoking. Nicotine also lowers your insulin sensitivity and that's really bad. I felt really shaky and nauseous after and it's never a good sign.
Is it really true that nicotine reduces blood flow to the brain? When I search it up some articles says it does and some doesnt. Do a vid about it as well going in to more detail, that way it sticks more and the consequences of lack of blood flow to the brain
I think it’s very dose dependent
It does help sharpen the mind at critical times like when driving in congested traffic..
Im sober and miserable.
God bless you and your family ! Your doing the right thing
I see Zyn everywhere these days. If they are shouving it down our throats, it can't be good for you.
Choline uses same brain receptors as nicotine, it's a edible nutrient. So in theory it should have same effects, maybe not as long lasting or concentrated
I just want to be sober. But don't have the passion anymore bc I've tried for 3 years and failed and failed and failed. I hate my life I give up and I have no reason in trying anymore
You’re not alone. I’m right there with ya. But keep positive you got this!
It's so sad to see people counting the days they are nicotine free. Nicotine is legal heroine, don't ever try it!!!
Disclaimer: by someone who thought they were addicted to weed but was actually deep in nicotine addiction. There are no benefits to nicotine. Don't ever start and quit today!
Also I'd like to share 2 tips for chainsmokers who like to get high:
1. Focus on quitting weed first and see the benefits of having a clear mind and feeling fresher.
2. If you really feel the need to be intoxicated after a week or two, have a few beers and chain smoke instead, you will realise you never liked weed - you actually are addicted to chainsmoking whilst intoxicated!
One step and day at a time, we got this!
*Alcohol is dangerous but using a few beers in the short term can be helpful to show you reduced brain fog from intoxication!
people are quiting cigarets so big companies bought off "influencers" to promote new highly adictive profuct. Big money, becouse remember how long and hard you fought to quit that shit. they dont care about you, just start consuming product, they need money
Addiction is loss of control over use and continued use despite negative life consequences. A person technically can be physically dependent without being addicted.
I don't swallow zyn spit. I'm paranoid about my stomach liver and pancreas
Trying to get everyone addicted to nicotine
Tucker Carlson and others have become paid shills for the nicotine industry
Unfortunately I got addicted to nicotine for the second time of my life after seven years abstinence! I regret taking my first hit of a friends vape 2 months ago. The experience was intense! I know it’s so bad for me and I was doing so well before I started so I’m working towards quitting again.
well this video should help!
Do you think having to drink one coffee a day is an addiction? I crave not the high but the taste. Caffeinated just doesn’t taste the same from the same brand and blend.
Honestly its great to see Addiction mindset is being honest about nicotine use. Andrew Huberman is clearly being biased when discussing the topic
Nicotine was the hardest drug for me to kick (Cigarettes, Pouches, Gums, Black and Milds, Vaping), finally kicked that 2 1/2 months ago from a 30 year habit, and THC was the easiest (1 month ago). Quitting alcohol and caffeine at the same time 2 months ago got me off nicotine, and I was able to quit THC shortly after that. I relapsed the most on nicotine.
Nasal snuff is AWESOME and not particularly addictive for most users provided it's their only source of nicotine.
Nicotine is nicotine. It's addictive no matter the source. It's chemical structure doesn't change just because the ROA is different...
This is crazy to see. I have struggled with nicotine addiction since I was 13 and I’m 44 now. I’ll quit for long periods and then relapse. I’ve gotten it done from a pack a day to very tiny amounts and only occasionally for the last 2 years but I’m still using, even if it is quite a low amount. I wish I had never even tried it. It does nothing really for you and if you don’t keep it in check you can get out of hand with it quite quickly. I really like this video.
I like nicotine in moderation. It can definitely become a problem! 1000%
I quit nicotine when I realized that this drug doesn't make any person better in any way. They are just looking for the good sides to comfort their addiction.
While quiting nicotine i quit also all nicotine addicted friends because hanging out with them was just boring and frustrating.
Now i feel I'm living my life purposefully, raising kids, loving my wife and doing business what i love without lame nicotine associated disturbances
Yeah im gonna quit smoking cigarettes. I quit weed and its been almost a month. Now feels like the time for me to quit cigarettes.
I hate smoking anything. Im so sick of smelling gross, my mouth tasting gross, feeling like i have to compulsively roll a cigarette just for it to make me feel a bit sick and more anxious. Im so done with smoking anything. I want pink lungs 🫁😢
I been pondering on quiting cold turkey thanks for the thoughts i decided to subscribe and apologize for unsubscribing i unsubscribed because i was quite concerned for my health best wishes sir.
People are glorifying nicotine now? NICOTINE? I'm speechless
Hi thank you for this video timing is perfect, i have pretty severe ADHD and in the past i really didn’t want to be medicated with stimulants because of health reasons but now im failing to fulfill my duties in life i find that caffeine and nicotine can be very helpful but i worry about all the problems you just described so its a toss up for me because idk what is worse caffeine nicotine or adderal i know i need help from doctors and EF therapy but i dont have insurance rn i know you aren’t a psychiatrist but man you would make a good one if find that i have to do alot of work on my own to figure out how to take care of myself because of my mental health like yesterday i wanted to have a drink or a smoke 💨 so instead i went to the gym but i ended up doing like 70mins cardio until i threw up 🤮 yeah its better than drinking but man i do struggle to moderate at the same time being totally sober and healthy my mind still isn’t capable of doing what i need to do in life
bro im totally on the boat with you, no worries brother, i would say try to moderate everything at the beggining, i mean, try to moderate now, do not go to excesses, because we tend to do that sht, now, so for example, instead of cigarette, vape, instead of superloaded coffeees, just a few a day and medium, fvck adderal, and excercise will always save you, always has saved my life, i will say this is our way out, to become addicted to the fitness life, i am actually like that already, but im still struggling with the nicotine, used to do a lot of drugz, now i only vape nicotine, and a lot of exercise and coffee, but its so much better than all of the other sht, so just moderate yourself, and do all the basics to the best, like eating good, sleeping good, good hygiene, all the good stuff, i believe in you and me brother, take care, send you peace!
Nicotine and caffeine are suposed to be taken as a treat, not in a daily basis so you depend on them.
Plus when you doing them occasionally, you enjoy the effect much much more.
Yeah but I feel like tucker Carlson and others don't take it in moderation and they need it everyday. Long term use isn't good
I wouldn’t advise you to quit if you're in the limbo of getting an adult ADHD diagnosis since the financial burden or waitlist can be burdensome.
Hi Dr. Frank how are you? How was your 4th of July? How are your family?
Ive had 3 times of nicotine poisoning since i started vaping and its been years but i am vaping a lot more. But i like it. Im vaping right now. The pouces make those annoying long events tolerable and enjoyable
Really love your videos. However for anyone looking at your "craveless" supplement, it is literally just a small dose of KSM-66 ashwaganda and NAC which you could buy separately for a third of what your charging
im back on vaping, i switched to 6mg zyns then worked down to 3mg zyns 8 times a day but i just went back to vaping anyways :/
Imagine if the end of life as we know it is 5-10 years away. Will you all still stay sober?
You are so right ▶️👍👍👍👍👍 amazing content...I remember watching all those pod cast when they first came out ....and I went out and bought my first zen #6yearsonjuul
i find doing 1-2 three milligram pouches a day (and missing some days) to be easy to moderate. i dont have any cravings or anything when i come off of them. i specifically use them before working on something as well
You're smoking the wrong plant 😂😂🤦♂️🎉❤🎉
This drug addiction is bad get addicted to this other drug instead
@WestonBishop1 yha, it's called money 💰 🎉❤️🎉
Has anybody had success quitting everything? I stopped vaping but I still smoke cigars once in a while which isn't good. I find it almost impossible to quit everything as daily I look forward to some sort of stimulant like caffeine, preworkout, cigar, etc.. I feel like I can't get dopamine from just living a normal life like when I was in high school I didn't do anything addiction wise and I wasn't happy.
Interesting video. I am on day 5 of quitting cigarettes. I tried a step 2 nicotine patch and felt horrible. (Smoked 12-18 cigarettes per day) I tried a step 3 patch. It’s helped me break the physical habit of smoking but day 3 off smokes was still pretty bad.
I think I’m gonna push through Friday with the patch and try going nicotine free on day 8 this weekend.
Why can’t people just not use drugs my lordddd
Bro u cant just simplify things like this 😭
Why are you on this page?
Some peoples lives aren’t as great as yours.
I'm fine if they want to it's their right I just get mad when they pressure me as a person with an addictive personality
@@sirmad2222 People would rather be controlled by a substance than live a life worthy as a role-model
I smoke pipe tobacco but it’s for the taste not the nicotine. I typically smoke twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening.
