muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 month agoI’ve heard that but how else is one supposed to get nicotine in the system? Chewing gum? Patches? Vapes? Is it soluble in a substance that’s safe to consume?

Alright then. Hopefully you aren’t like me though - constantly vaping 20mg nic salt throughout the day (I get cravings after like 10 minutes)

Alcohol is worse then nicotine. Although my life is shit and I have so many reasons to drink.

Nicotine in comparable or larger doses from non-toxic or much less toxic sources is arbitrarily limited for stupid reasons.

Profits of tobacco companies isn’t a stupid reason when ur a lobbyist for the tobacco companies

It interacts with nicotinic receptors in your stomach, and you’ll have the liver first past effect after that. Eating it is a bad idea.

I smoked for pretty much my whole life. Quit with varying degrees of success many many times. I switched to nicotine pouches 2 months ago, and it’s been fairly great at reducing the damage of cigarettes while not dealing with the actual addiction.
Still need to watch out for gum recession, so it’s not exactly 100% healthy, but smoking causes gum recession anyway and I’m not destroying my lungs anymore, so pretty solid for harm reduction.

Nicotine is water soluble. You can take a wet tobacco leaf off the plant and it’ll soak into your skin and get you a bit buzzed (or in my case when I discovered this mid harvest if you touch enough it’ll get you massively high and nauseous). Imo one of the best ways to get some in relative safety is grow your own, they’re really easy, and just put a leaf under your tongue for a bit then spit it out

Its highly highly illegal to grow it in my country unfortunately.

Don’t let laws stop you from doing harmless shit.

Unless, of course, your country aggressively enforces that and has extreme penalties.

Part of the problem with using tobacco this way (basically diy dip) is that tobacco leaves themselves contain carcinogenic nitrates that will still have long term health impacts. If you’re going to consume nicotine, it’s best that your source is as close to chemically pure as you can get. Synthetic nicotine is by and large the safest option outside of simply not consuming nicotine in any form. It’s still incredibly addictive and cardiotoxic

After that article the other day about caffeine in hand lotion, I’m now surprised they don’t put nicotine in hand lotion.
