Nicotine is probably one of the most misunderstood compounds when it comes to performance/health

People hear “nicotine” and instantly think cigarettes, cancer, degeneracy, etc. But the main point is that nicotine itself and smoking are not the same conversation.

Why is it addicting even after you stop getting the “head rush”? Whether you feel like it has no other effects or not, it does

- increased focus
- better task engagement
- appetite suppression
- faster reaction time
- higher alertness
- dopamine release

The interesting part is nicotine seems to work on a bell-curve for cognition. Studies have shown too little nicotine or too much nicotine doesn’t improve cognition.

So there’s a sweet spot where focus, attention, and cognitive performance improve the most. Although some studies show chronic use can still improve cognition, I’d try staying in the middle for health maxxing.

So what’s the optimal dose and way to get nicotine?
1-4mg in pouches preferably.

Meanwhile society normalized abusing caffeine daily, nicotine became untouchable because everyone associates it with smoking instead of separating the molecule from the delivery system.

Health?

Nicotine is so neuroprotective that even smokers have massively reduced rates of Brain disease, Parkinson’s disease, Dementia, Alzheimers. However smoking increases chance of lung cancer so switching or starting on pouches avoids that entirely.

Conclusion for DNRs
Nicotine = Good.
Smoking = Bad.
1-4mg = Good.
Too Little or Too Much = Bad.

I vape but definitely need to make that switch to pouches asap.
nah bro, i smoke marlboro golds. I am not that addicted, might go crazy without but coffee helps with that, and i smoke like a pack per 2 weeks. Only for stress
 
“nicotine for health” is the same as “estrogen for height growth”:feelskek:

I didn't read your post, but smokers, despite having cardiovascular disease, are twice as likely to get alzheimer's. Nicotine also has a stimulating effect on neurons in the prefrontal cortex; nicotinic receptor stimulants are generally considered as targets for the treatment of many cognitive disorders. For healthy nicotine consumption, the main thing is to use: high-quality pouches, nicotine sprays, candies and chewing gum, and patches. For intellectual work or concentration on studies, it is advisable to use a spray, since with this use the concentration is high for a short period of time.

Ye nicotine is good imo it being addictive is the only bad thing but the way you ingest nic is more often than not bad

I'm open-minded but that post was a fancy way to justify you're addiction lol. Nicotine is immensely addictive and the benefits you notice are in the short-term until you need it to just be at your baseline. For it's return on investment, nicotine is an ass drug. If you want focus, get a script for lisdexamfetamine.
