I need to rant about this shit because it's driving me up a wall. So I recently quit smoking and switched over to nicotine pouches. They're a lot cheaper, and I'm not coughing up black shit anymore so that's pretty fucking cool. However, the addiction from pure nicotine products like pouches and vapes is WAY worse. I was able to go about 3 days without a cig and all I dealt with was insomnia, but now the anxiety from not having nicotine is way worse. I had gone months without biting my nails, and just absolutely obliterated my nails last night because I had to go without nicotine for a day. I'm gonna start taking biotin so it's harder to break through my nails, but I'm really upset that I fucked up all of my fingers yesterday

    Yeah, smoking takes more time, it's a lot more active. I can't smoke or vape while playing Pokemon, that requires two hands. But now I can just always have nicotine, and it's also pretty strong. Probably gonna slowly buy the weaker pouches to try to ween myself to a lower amount of nicotine before I quit
