Good news for nicotine addicts but Juul devices are re-usable but the pods aren’t which still create a ton of plastic waste.

        Yes but that’s not the nicotine. That’s the smoke and the coffee and the relaxing and all that stuff. Which… yes is how I got started haha. But nicotine itself… nothing good, and lots of bad.

            I eventually went to those mints which are basically nicotine candy. I was eating them like… well, candy. When I quit those, my resting heartbeat went from 80 to ~55.

            But of all the drugs I’ve ever done, nicotine is the only one where I still want it.

              Yeah, you smell that secondhand smoke and no matter how many years it’s been, it’s got that magnetic appeal, like the smell of a nicely seared steak.

                Only if it’s my brand though. I hate the smell of cigarettes, but I can smell a camel light a mile away.

        There are many orher substances that do the exact same thing without the extreme side effects of nicotine.
