No tobacco leaf. Not a tobacco product. Not snuff. No spitting. You can swallow your saliva. No restrictions. You can use it on an airplane, at the workplace, wherever tobacco products are prohibited.
Nicotine is like any other potentially addictive drug. Some folks used it for a while and just decide to quit while others are captured for years. The problem is you don’t know which category you are in until you try it. For example:
Karen Ann Quinlan
“When she was 21, Quinlan became unconscious after she consumed Valium along with alcohol while on a crash diet and lapsed into a coma”
The parents believed that her still being connected constituted extraordinary means of prolonging her life.
Eventually a court ruled that the ventilator could be withdrawn. However, she continued to breathe on her own. She survived another nine years in a persistent vegetative state.”
Any time a person decides to try a possibly addictive drug for the first time the outcome is never known for sure.
No one remembers when Rush recommended nicotine?
Nicotine is an interesting drug and someday science may find positive uses for it.
Smokers use cigarettes in many ways and seemingly many of those ways contradict each other, something very mild and subtle is happening but we don’t know what yet.
Classic projection.
Women are much easier to brainwash and manipulate than men (generalization for sure) because they are more “social” and want to belong to the “in crowd”.
Men are much more likely to be loners and hostile towards authority and authority figures.
I prefer to get my nicotine from a pipeful of burley or a Latakia blend. I don’t smoke it as an image thing. It’s just something I like. If it does give me an image, it would be that of an old coot, but I am okay with that.
Hugely popular in the military. So much so that there's now a demand-driven shortage on Zyn.
Three gas stations near my home are completely sold out.

The Americans were huge smokers back in the '50s, if you look at all the old pictures, people were thin back then. One factor - smoking curbs your appetite.
Wouldn’t nicotine gum be like the non-tobacco pouches? I get this tight feeling at the back of my throat and nausea. When I tried cigarettes way back, same thing. No thanks.
Nicotine was the least harmful substance in cigarettes. It was the tar and burning tobacco leaf that was bad for you.
Zyn is pure nicotine salt mixed with food-grade stabilizers and flavorings.
Trump is hyper masculine - with no alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee..etc ever.
Yada yada yada. Pseudoscience, opinion, conjecture, outright lies. Another day in the media.
I’ll stick with the original masculine drug - bourbon 😛
It's toxic for bugs.

I don’t take drugs because I need them. I take them because I dare to.
Every drug addict wishes they never started.
Diet Coke has plenty of caffeine.
