I personally noticed a steep drop off in efficacy once I built up tolerance each of the handful of times I’ve tried and then given up using nicotine as a medicine. It’s low reward and high risk (full blown addiction).
Interesting about your parents smoking. Mine did also, chain smoked with me in the car basically hot boxing and all their friends did too.
- sph 2y agoHow did you use nicotine? The addiction/tolerance potential is proportional to how quickly it gets in your brain. Smoked/inhaled nicotine takes 7 seconds, a patch takes about 4 hours to reach peak blood concentration. Also I do not recommend tobacco, which is much more than nicotine.
- arresin 2y ago> The addiction/tolerance potential is proportional to how quickly it gets in your brain. Very good point. And that goes for amphetamine also (snorted vs ingested). I used nicotine lozenges as they were big on longecity forum at one point and I had experience with them from quitting tobacco. So a lot faster than the patch. You can feel it like seconds after resting it inside your lip.
