I think only one is open. Probably just sponsors

What about the triple lower decky tho
Me sitting here hoping to get info to confirm my bias that they help me
I’m with ya
Dude me too lol
He used to make war missles, he’s not representative of the standard man
zyn is dope bud
Unfortunately it didn’t come. I was hoping he would say, zyn is not only safe, it’s good for you!
Shoutout to all the hunters who just throw their shitty Zyn packages out in the woods wherever they go, they are everywhere in Bend, OR.
I cant stand litter, and as a hunter its even more difficult to comprehend how someone who enjoys nature could contribute to it. I try to return with more trash than I started with anytime I go into the woods
@@Tyler-vw9bh Bless you sir. Some people just weren't raised right.
@@Tyler-vw9bh Tourists. People visit Bend for a variety of reasons, among the top is flyfishing and hunting. For whatever reason, they dont always leave it as they found it. People who live here adore the protected forest surrounding us, and its really easy to not trash it.
@@Tyler-vw9bhsame
As a hunter who hunts on private property, I can’t imagine littering in nature… let alone on public land I’d be sharing with others. Hunting clothes have tons of pockets so I put the empty cans in a different pocket which is just common sense.
Marathon runner, avid gym goer - 176lbs 240lb bench 405 deadlift running 15 miles a week on average. When I went from 3mg zyn once a week to 12-15mg a day, it absolutely starched my tolerance for cardio and my lifting stats. Generally non focused, in discomfort/agitated on and off it. Currently weaning off, down to one a day, SUPER ADDICTIVE and unnecessary. Not a benefit.
thanks
I woudn't think nicotine would be of any benefit for endurance cardio
The pouches are highly addictive....far more nicotine than a cigarette...so when going from cigarette to pouch as a pack a day smoker...found it really easy to stop smoking....however when I went back to cigs I was smoking like a pack and half to account for the lack of nicotine...I'm currently at 2 weeks cold turkey no nicotine.
No drugs are addictive (physically and mentally) certain people are vulnerable.
It’s not more than a cigarette, but it is more quickly absorbed than a cigarette
@@lexremillard2549 You should watch many more of Andrew's podcasts to get better educated on the matter.
@@lexremillard2549lmaooo, bro do you mean like certain people are more affected than others or like your tellibg us that some people can do heroin multiple time a day for a month straight and not get addicted. Maybe your saying that some people are more enclined to use enough ( i e too much from a health perspective) and then get addicted ?
@@lexremillard2549 This is your opinion, not at all factual
One of the election debaters forgot his nicotine gum.
pretty sure both are provided with top level nootropics. Cuz why not? But man, it was brutal.
Forgot the other half of his brain
Nah, Biden can't stand & chew gum at the same time.
Haha, great comments, fellas
@@GallowayJesse😭😭😭
Here I am chewing up to 4 of these things at a whack while smoking. Meanwhile Andy is inspecting his half a piece with the same kind of attention I'd use if I were mulling over a particularly strong bit of blotter acid.
This is your impulse to change something
What mg are your pouches man, i think you should up it costs almost the same (in europe at least) and you dont go 4 at a time lol
@@Nimblo-py4zd my impulse to change something? Wtf are you a bot?
@@krozs8495 to be honest I haven't had pouches, or anything other than a pipe, in maybe a year (I have tons of pipe tobacco & no money) , but I bought the highest I could find (8mg is the limit iirc)...
Different brands either have more\less nicotine than advertised, or the form factor changes absorption rate/ability significantly. On top of that the quality control seems very dubious with ALL brands I've tried: Sometimes a particular piece will be way stronger (I've had to spit them out for fear of overdosing.. This is just with ONE pouch at a time) and other times they'll seemingly do nothing (thus using multiple)... I never put 4 in all at once, but I did use 4 over the course of, say 20 minutes, plenty of times...
Nicotine LD50 is very close to active dosages, and it's not very much physical material, so I am very wary of these types of companies..
With tobacco you know what you're getting won't have a "Hotspot" ... Eith Nicotine gum, lozenges patches etc you also know they are more scrupulous given its pharmaceutical... But the pouch things are a fucking madhatter
Hilarious comment
I've been using Rogue 6mg for about 2 years - until a few days ago. My gums are receding and the upper part of my teeth are extremely sensitive. Dentist says I now have abfractions. Be careful how many you use on a daily basis. I was using 3 throughout the day every day. One after my cup of coffee in the morning, one after lunch and one after dinner. Take care of yourselves!
I've looked this up before and it's a common issue with Rogue specifically, or some of the flavors at least
@@1dirladuu Yeah, the brand seems to matter. I was using On Pouches and saw quick recession. Switched to Zyn and my dentist recently told me my teeth look amazing. Not saying it's not harmful at all, but some brands use harsher fabric and lower quality nicotine salt.
I just tried rogue the other day and noticed a pretty intense burn, it burned almost like a grizzly wintergreen tobacco punch would burn, way more burn than onn and zyn maybe try a different brand unless you want to stop completely, the Onn pouches are tiny and fit way up into your upper lip without touching your teeth (unless maybe your gums receded a ton)
Damn, I've been doing Zone 9mg for probably 4 months and I do about 12 to 15 pouches a day.
@@dieseldouche7735love zones
1 year and half nicotine clean. Felt way better after quitting. I was doing pouches all day and it was very bad
Ive recently started these to get off smokes 6mg, im planning to decrease dose to 3mg and then drop them all together. What horrible shit happened? Im actually interested in your experience as this stuff is new in my country
@@wjk2674 nothing that horrible outside my gums being damaged. It was more so the dependency on it was bad. The fact I felt like I needed it in all day. I work in office environment / at home so when I was doing them it was legit all day
Much obliged.
A few months ago, I decided to give nicotine pouches a try. Took 1 and thought it was kinda nice but hardly noticeable. After an hour, I followed up with another pouch, and got the worst headache I had in a long time. I threw the rest in the trash and didn't look back. Nicotine is poison.
Idk man i feel great
Had the exact same experience when I first tried Zyn. I kept being told “you have to build up a tolerance, then the headaches will go away”. Nah, I’ll pass on that.
If your reading this, you don't need nicotine in your life. Control all substances that you consume.
It’s so hard to quit smoking cold turkey
disgusting what this guy is pushing. paid by the nicotine lobby because of declining smoking population
Gum isn't too bad I chew a piece every now and then when I have a lot of scheduling to do in the evening to not rely solely on caffeine
@@97TheWatcherMy dad was addicted to heroin for several years. He miraculously survived and turned his life around. He still smokes until this day and he told me that kicking heroin was significantly easier. As a smoker myself it definitely fucking sucks. Getting past that third day feels impossible. I get so fucking shaky and miserable I feel like I wanna rip my head off and throw it across the street. I tried vape as a way to quit but I feel like it made my addiction way worse.
@@Cristian_D63 does gum give you buzz?
I was a casual nicotine user and enjoyed it a majority of the time when I would consume alcohol. Zyns or disposable vapes. For me, it would cause very short gratification. Nice buzz that I would keep chasing, but would crash shortly after. I consider myself fairly disciplined, but it was tough to not consume nicotine when I’d be socially drinking with my buddies.. if you could go two weekends in a row without it, you can last.
I’m 1.5 years clean of nicotine and haven’t looked back. Less moody, higher sex drive, and better cardiovascular function.
You can quit 💪 keep staying strong
Do you start all your sessions around the same time at night?
Got hooked on the zyn for about a month in between jobs and it made me feel like straight shit… also quitting was 3 days of fog… I’m good on that stuff don’t care what the research says.
It really depends how much you use it. Most people over do it.
@@kwalex6882 true I was horsing down almost a tin a day lol ..
@@Matt-yz3iq I definitely did the same. It’s too addicting for me. Impossible to do a couple pouches a week.
@kwalex6882 every couple weeks is what works for me on the weekends when I drink, once a week is where I start getting minor cravings during the week
@@Matt-yz3iq its so fucking good bruh
I am sadly addicted to nicotine. Started smoking, then dipping, then the gum. Cycled all through history. I’m in zyn now 3 mg and it’s the best of all mentioned. The sad part is I hate being addicted to nicotine. Please if you never have done nicotine before do not start. I tell my kids and my younger sibling the same thing. Don’t even try it. It’s. It not good. Pray for me I quit.
You can do it!
Uh, i just bought some 1mg nicotine spray and used it one time. Would be using it one time a week be bad as a non smoker? Never smoked.
Much safer not to at all, it can hijack your dopamine reward system. Not worth it brother.@johnmachter40
@@johnmachter40 one time a week isn't bad in itself, but the best thing to do is to never open the door for nicotine addiction to come into your life. As someone who was addicted for 2 yrs, please just do not take the risk. Those slight benefits aren't worth the potential for nicotine addiction as it can make your life a living hell
Nicotine pouches messed up my gums & teeth BAD.
The dentist said I had bone loss around the teeth in the area where I put the pouches. And I had very severe tooth sensitivity that took 8 months to go back to normal after quitting.
Dann thats pretty fucked, thanks for sharing I did not know these pouches could do that
How long did you use the pouches that caused the teeth and gum damage?
I had to quit Rogue pouches for this reason…
@@athena144 Yep, I also used the Rogue patches
Was it artificial pouches like Zyn?
Zyn, at green of the 7th hole, only 3 over par. Spun my head crazy. Duffed my 8th hole drive, got a 7. Got my 9th hole drive actually stuck in w tree, hit another tree, third shot over the green. Ened with a 6, ended up with a 44. I'm thinking its better to not use while golfing now.
Zyn, at the breakout of a key resistance point, SPY is at an all time. Spun my damn head like crazy. SOXL opened high and rallied over 6%, I should have waited for a deeper pullback but I got impatient and entered at the first dip. I'm thinking it's better not to use while trading now.
This clip will get people addicted
Chewing Nicorette gum right now actually. I only use 20-30g/day though.
ONLY? I think Andrew said he has 2mg - 4 times per WEEK
I'm currently trying to use the patches to quit and wondering if the pouches would be cheaper.
Not sure but it's common to get hooked on the pouches. Better to try the patches first.
6:52 some high school knowledge there 😂😂
I just quit zyn did it for 4 years the 10mg strength about 10-15 a day. Messed with my hands and feet circulation and the vasoconstriction of nicotine so for me with my genetics it will help me avoid eventual thrombosis and blood clots etc and stuff in future from avoiding the stiffening of the blood vessels
Still curious about nicotine resistance. I use two 6mils at a time and never feel a thing. I’m not sure why i keep using them i think its in hope that its some type of relaxation or focus that i do not realize.
yeah mate, you are addicted.
@@YvesPircher maybe? Haha i go days without them…i think i’m just bored.
Just remember people will always find evidence to support what they already like doing. If its not found to correlate across a broad category of study then its useless info.
Called confirmation bias
yeah exactly. there's nothing good about nicotine. i tried nicotine gum before i got into smoking or vaping and sure it works for a while, then you end up reliant on it and whatever benefits you have from it, you have the opposite effect as soon as the gum wears off. it's as addictive as heroin, you don't want to play around with this stuff unless a nicotine addiction sounds fun. oh yeah and btw the gum and pouches will still destroy your oral health and cause gum decay so there's no avoiding that even with the gum. haven't touched nicotine in 2 years and it feels way better to be off it.
Bought some 6mg on pouches made me feel nauseous almost but did feel the “benefits”
maybe once in a while
Notice how hubermans speech almost completely changed a minute after he popped one in? Dont try to sell the "focus" thing when youre buzzing out in front of us hahaha
I used to love these pouches but after 6 months they gave me gum disease and mild bone loss so I had to stop
Woah really? I've been dipping for.... jeeze, 14 years now, and zynning for 2. Tiniest bit of recession from dipping (bottom), but nothing from zyn (top). The pouches seem so gentle.
Nicotine is not something to fuck around with. I’m two weeks off the vapes and it’s been hard. I ended up drinking more and eating more and now trying to control that by eating one healthy meal a day. I feel pretty tired and stupid without nicotine which has been the hardest part. It’s a hell of a drug to get clean from.
Same here brother. It's a crazy drug when you think about it. Coming off vapes is such a tough habit to kick. I'm also 2 weeks off so can appreciate what you're going through. Well done 👍
Sunflower seeds really helped me
That's a good idea @@porscheguy5848
I used nicotine spray because it was the "safest" way to take it since I wanted to use it for a mental boost. Used for a few years. I quit cold turkey but first 5 day I couldn't even think, literally felt like my brain was completely scrambled. Brutal habit to kick mentally and physically !
@@penrose2942i just started spraying. So you wouldnd do it again?
Tried it. Threw up. Didn’t get any mental clarity, I just got motion sick and woozy.
Won’t do it again.
Is it good for a person that dig holes every dya outside for underground lines
I just read somewhere that once your brain is “nicotine adapted” aka addicted, the vascular response is actually the opposite. It opens the vessels upon receiving a new dose of nicotine, where someone who isn’t “adapted” to nicotine will experience a vessel shrinkage
Yes I take one canister per day. It’s delightful
Is there a reason we aren't talking about patches? I dont like the taste of pouches and gum.
Can Dr huberman please explain why I heard Tucker's laugh in my head as soon as he cracked the joke about his sex life?
what about dopamine? what is involved in this?
I'm happy to see everyone switching to pouches, getting rid of that nasty smoke
The thumbnail looks like Lex is interviewing him from the future lol
I tried using the nicotine gums mulitple times after he recommended it on his pod. They re semi useless for me. Feel no difference, eyes get sore, uncomfortable restlessness and combined with literally i get anhedonia. This shit is crazy.
Plus sore throat and bad taste in mouth.
Yeah, I get mixed results each time I try it
*combined with caffeine
@@alexcoombe3377 true, thanks for the input. maybe patches are the way to do it
@@whateverimake9350 I’ve been wondering about patches a lot. Have you ever tried them? They’re interesting because I think of nicotine like caffeine where if I want it I take some in the moment, but the patch would obviously be more of a slow drip.
Andrew limiting 2mg gums to two a week while I’m churning through 3 20mg elf bars a week
You’re on the fast track to popcorn lung
Try the gum maybe
@@Bnunez96I’ve been vaping more than that for the last 15 years. Thats patently false.
Yeah you're cooked that's why gum isn't as much of a problem it's more tedious keep chewing more gum and you don't have as high of a concentration in your system at a time compared to taking a hit every couple of minutes and skyrocketing your nic levels
@@declanrowlands8262 he’s full of hocus pocus. He’s just positioning himself as a guru for profit. Griftor who loves money.
NicNacs are a godsend for me. Like a zyn but in a mint form. Lasts longer by releasing the nic slower while still giving me what I need, and that’s coming from someone who vaped 60m salt nic. Way easier on the gums, not powdery like a pouch. They come in 6 and 3mg, I just buy the 6 and break them in half. Just nicotine and the natural oil of said flavor. I’m in no way paid to say this shit but it’s true. Try ‘em!
second this nicnacs are amazing plus they have great flavors too
NicNac is my first choice, best for mouth health too I think …makes the price worth it
Same, and I break 6mg in half too.
Same love them
Probably the cleanest form
Dr. Andrew, please research and report if ZYN causes health problems, I’ve read the flavoring is similar to the unhealthy sweeteners put into diet drinks, which is digested, however ZYN sweeteners are absorbed through the lip directly into the bloodstream of which is no research to the possibility of the compounding negative effect on health.
And studies already made it clear that the artificial sweeteners in diet drinks long-term can cause cancer, etc.
Gen Xers are going on 40+ years of heavy artificial sweetener usage since the 80's. Do they all have cancers?
@@BradleyT2p2yes they have
@@BradleyT2p2cancer rates in last 40 years are way up so yes
Zyn has an unflavored option called smooth
When andrew says 2 pieces he means to packages of gums or just only t gums per week total?
2 gums
Andrew Huberman has a bump on his throat is that health okay? I had a friend growing up that it was cancer look similar, but that was 30 years ago.
wow - i hope he reads this and checks into it
So much health he is studying it really makes you question his integrity
One of the issues with zyns I rarely see brought up is that they contain the artificial sweetener acesulfame potassium. I don’t think people are aware of this…
And why should we know this? I’m genuinely intrigued, not trying to downplay what you said.
Same
@@Wickedgu3st some artificial sweeteners cause cancer, not sure about this one.
@@Wickedgu3st Most people who use zyns believe that they are making a “healthy” if not “healthier choice” and I believe that zyn intentionally makes it difficult to find out the ingredients in their pouches. They certainly don’t list them on the tin. acesulfame potassium is a probable carcinogen and I am sure that many people would prefer to use nicotine pouches that don’t have artificial sweeteners. There is nearly a gram of acesulfame potassium in each pouch and so for someone with a tin per day habit that is a significant amount to be ingesting unwittingly.
@@user-ds4gp8dr2qit’s nearly impossible to get cancer from artificial sweeteners. You’d have to drink 20 diet cokes a day consistently for many years for this to happen
Every time the tobacco industry comes up with a new way to deliver nicotine, people buy the hype early, then slowly the studies roll in, then finally it’s widely accepted it’s really bad for you.
Not really. Nicotine itself is a safe compound. Barely any difference in health outcomes between it and caffeine. Addiction potential and mildly increased heart rate is basically what you’re looking at. It’s tobacco that is problematic.
@@DanielDurham121 addiction in itself is problematic, no?
Not necessarily. Given a clean, uninterrupted supply, for free, most opioid addicts would be fine using forever. The real problems start when they can’t get more.
Zyns are cheap enough and the effects of not having them tame enough to not really be much of a threat to self or society.
The pouches arent something new, they just became trendy in the states now. These pouches have been used in Scandinavia since the 80's. Theres a whole world outside of the states.
Most pouches are tobacco free.
I notice my cardio is diminished when I use nicotine too close to my workout
Came here for the solution to the upper vs lower deckie debate
Man, as someone who has smoked cigarettes, smoked vapes, and now currently uses nicotine pouches… It literally only ever puts me on the floor or makes me lazy, I never get some “enhanced cognitive performance” from it 😅
This is bc of created associations that outweigh the generally mild effect of cognitive improvement, which sticks out for people who have no associations with nicotine use
Same here. I have smoked cigs and vaped for stretches periodically so I'm quite experienced with nicotine. Hadn't used any in months. My cousin gave me some zyn 6mg and it gave me a ridiculous buzz that got uncomfortable. Just rode it out and continued to use them throughout the day with same experience. Bought 3mg and it was much better but then I found myself chain-popping the stupid things. Got dehydrated, cared less about food and messed up my sense of taste. I finished the 3 can because I don't like to waste anything and the next day had a pretty nice migraine that I only get from alcohol hangovers. A few weeks have passed and I got a can of 6mg for a long drive. Same deal, had been feeling great and living healthy, but got stupid on them. Heavy buzz followed by mild buzz and decreased brain processing power. I kept using them for a few days and tried to stretch it out. I've made my conclusion: The "brain protective dose" is such a small amount that I'm sure it wouldn't give you any sort of buzz. You would barely notice taking it. The doses everyone is on is the crackhead addiction dose. Even 3mg is too much for someone that's never used it. At the moment, these things are the most socially acceptable drug of abuse out there. No spitting, no smell and people behave "normally" while using them so it has no impact on others. However, like any other addictive substance, what was once a buzz is now your baseline and you will very quickly need these things to feel normal and function. I've tried using them sparingly and using them like a fiend and for me they cause a noticeable decline in mental performance. So unless I'm seeking a cheap high to put me in a different headspace in an environment where I'm around drunk people for instance, then they are useless and expensive on the wallet and the mind.
@@PriusTurbofor me as non smoker even 1mg is to much. I feel like shit after one spray
@@PriusTurbo well said
I’m only pinching 2 maaaaybe 3 pouches a day of 4mg zonics or 3mg bliss (Canada). I do think at certain times of the day or before I step into a meeting to keep me focused. I am a little concerned hence why I am here about the long term but I tell myself I am doing such little amounts, that’s iiiiits prob fine. I’m 39 and these things are hard to come by hear so I have to keep it to a minimum. But man, packin a pillow in the cheek is always a highlight of my day!
I have 2 6mg citrus Zynn pouches in my gums right now and I’m GEEKED
The lisp is kinda too much. I've never had a lisp when doing any type of nicotine pouch/dip/smokeless tobacco etc
When did Andrew develop a lisp
Unfortunately I have one of those weird brain chemistry. Nicotine acts as a pretty powerful seditve for me. Back when I was younger I'd take it in one form or another to help me fall asleep. Worked better than most other chemicals I tried.
I cut out nicotine 3 weeks ago. Feel way better
Two weeks for me but missing it bad
Gas station vapes have like 10x nicotine considering how much you hit it. Pouches helped me quit I do 1 pack every 2 days.
I’d love to see Andrew Huberman talk about the risks of having eleven girlfriends at the same time
zyn affects on gums?
Can lead to squamous cell carcinoma due to prolonged irritation
@@lawrencepettifer4102 Yeah, tho gum inflamation is much more likely outcome. Cancer from that is garbage luck.
@@PrimitiveArchery6 yes irritation first then the cancer can form as a result
@@PrimitiveArchery6Nicotine itself shuts down cell reproduction and lowers viability, and induces apoptosis, which triggers cell death.
Putting it on your gums will naturally cause deterioration given normal usage especially at higher doses.
Bruv I wanted to do zyns but the medium is too strong for me
You also have the mini zyn its 1,5 mg
@@spaceyy06 are those a thing? I'll check if they have em over here
The thing with any kind of stimulants is that when you try to do the same things without them you feel like half the person you was while on stimulants. It's a one way street.
it got me to quit vaping, which got me to quit smoking.
I felt like my generation had almost all but squashed tobacco use, and here we are essentially reinventing the problem. We’re just mainlining the nicotine now, sans the leaf. It’s insane.
I would argue it really just took a backseat, yeah it’s back in the drivers seat though.
Couldn’t have said it any better
Nicotine dosent cause cancer
It’s pretty fun to see how late to the party the us is with this. In Sweden we have been using nicotine pouches a long time. They spread like a pandemic with all the kid friendly flavors. Can’t believe how everyone is missing the point that they’re getting completely addicted and that in any second the nicotine devil is gonna have a firm grip on their balls. It’s such a horrendous addiction because you get used to having almost 24/7 nicotine flow. You become a real whore for it. Yuck

Some pouches literally say they contain formaldehyde
No, no they don't... 😂
@@mebriner It's not "something I heard somewhere," took for fact, and am now regurgitating said thing on the internet. I purchased a few brands from an online retailer and read the warning myself. I "believe" the brand was Zone.
@@mebrinerread a little, could you?
I haven’t found the addictive thing to be an issue personally. Others might. I take like 3 pouches a day and have no desire to increase it.
I think some would argue that even 3 a day is pretty hefty, especially depending on your nic dosage.
@@bubblehead4270 im in the same boat. 3 or 4 3mg. no desire to go to 6mg and no desire to stuff any more in my mouth. if you do more than one back to back it kinda makes you feel like shit so if you just strategically use them a few times a day that's the best. I know people who basically have on in their mouth at all times from the moment they wake up til the moment they go to bed.
@@bubblehead4270 How? Cigarettes have like 10-20mg of nicotine and plenty of people smoke 30+ of those a day. I’m taking a pouch of pure nicotine (no tobacco) with 6mg of nicotine 3x a day.
@@DanielDurham121You absorb 1mg or less from a cigarette, you absorb nearly all the nicotine from pouches.
A cigar won’t give you more than 10mg of Nic, the standard dose for establishment of nicotine addiction is 5mg every day.
If you’re using 3 a day you’re well on your way to addiction, that’s way stronger than vaping 3 times a day.
There are no benefits of an addictive compound, period. Freedom is better than any minor benefits it may apparently have.
I think that’s a huge oversimplification of a complex issue lol. But yes usually addiction will make you more dysfunctional then the current problem you currently have. But addiction nowadays is such a loaded word. And ppl who call other substances addictive will also be eating reeces/ gambling or consuming lots of sugar. When lots of things are addictive, on a psychological level. There are some drugs considered addictive that in some individuals I think the risks of not taking it would outweigh actually taking it
@@iGNiTETheKiD Occam's razor?
@@ItsOttis not really. I think it’s relevant to your argument. The problem isn’t nicotine itself but that nicotine happens to be in tobacco, that’s the problem. Yes the person smokes tobacco gets cancer and dies, why did they die? Oh because nicotine of course because this is why they kept smoking because they were addicted and it kept reinforcing the behavior of smoking. But that’s also tobacco being combusted releasing other carcinogens along with American tobacco being sprayed with radioactive fertilizer. Everyone knows smoking is bad. But it isn’t the nicotine that is carcinogenic, it’s igniting and inhaling combusting tobacco with ingredients like arsenic lmao.
Nicotine alone isn’t that harmful outside of being addictive lol. Theres multiple studies documenting health benefits, treatments for ulcerative colitis, some people even going into remission. It’s used as a preventive for degenerative brain problems like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s because it has a neuroprotective effect on the brain. I’m not advocating anyone use nicotine if they do not already do so, because risks of addiction and if anything it’s an addiction like anything else and is bothersome and hurts your wallet. But for some conditions with the current treatment we have I could see a lot of people rather use nicotine then the current treatment plans, and many do. Alzheimer’s is horrible, and it keeps getting worse, and it’s incurable with no current preventive method. With the strong evidence nicotine prevents it I could see ppl using it
@@iGNiTETheKiDalso nicotine is antiparasitic for the body
why do i feel like this is what everyone was saying abt tobacco jus no one was filming lol
After a few months of Zyns 6MGs, I overdid it one night and got nicotine poisoning or possibly even overdosed on nicotine. It was at the point for me where I was doing almost a whole can of 6MG in a day, just constantly popping one every hour or even putting in multiple at a time. That night as soon as I got in bed - I had the worst chills / cold sweats for hours & developed a 102 fever. Next morning I had a normal temperature but I had the worst brain fog, fatigue, and headache. While I had full days to rest, I just took the opportunity to cold turkey nicotine for the 2nd time in my life. Currently on Day 4 of no nicotine, cravings are horrible right now & brain still feels tingly at times. Zyns & Velos are no joke.
My dude, I've been on 11mg velo for the last 4 years. I'm doing fine
Lozanges are much more effective
Its wild how comfortable people are with being addicted to things
I dont keep it in my mouth the whole time. I just keep it on my gum for a minute. Then do keep doing that every hour.
I fricken love Zyn
I saw one of these clips with Dr.Huberman not advocating but saying he takes nicotine gum. So I tried it at work called Sesh. Fucked me up and I smoke weed daily…. 😂
I was sleeping through all of my alarms consistently. Just perpetually snoozing unknowingly. I downloaded an app where the alarm wouldn’t stop until you answered a few math problems. Turns out, I can do math as complicated as double digit multiplication and still be only semiconscious. Which is massively annoying tbh.
Whats the name of the app?
2 doses a week is wild
He thinks 1 zyn pouch helped him intensely focus lol he should try adderall
Lol right?
If you can focus well enough without adderall, then you shouldn’t start taking it
These pouches were fucking up my gums
Guys. Never swallow the juice from the gum. Have a spit cup ready
Why?
Explain why.
makes u feel like puking, burns your throat idk if it's harmful
Besides the bad side effects he just listed. The nicotine is absorbed not by swallowing the juice but by chewing it a little then parking on your gums.
On top of the insane amount of saliva it produces, the artificial sweeteners and nicotine is not good for stomach
jus put 3 pouches in....smoked a pac n a half of newport 100s a day for almost 15 plus years....this isnt much better tbh. it helps but i have to double n tripple pouches to make me not want to smoke.
Yeah I hear ya.. I've been using some for of nicotine off and on for 20 years... Currently I just smoke a pipe but I was the same with the pouches; one after another. Along with patches etc.
Better that than smoke in lungs.
I used to smoke a lot and like 10 years ago, reduced it a lot, then like 5 years ago I started with 2 ciggarrettes per day, some days none, but since I have been training hard I decided quit (a moth ago) but I started to feel like my brain is not braining 😅doesn't function as it should be, most of the time I'm all over the place, confuse, takes me a little longer that usual to process simple thoughts, I can't seem to focus for a long period and I started to have sweet craving, wich is weird because I'm more into "Salty" foods...I have just find out about nicotine effect on the brain, so 5 minutes ago I smoked like a quarter of a ciggarette and I started to feel more like me again...and I'm like WTF?! What am I gonna do now?! Patches, gum?! Heeelp!!!
Vaping to quit might help, or you might just ruin your tolerance and get more addicted since it’s easier to puff on.
Patches are the medically accepted way to wean off, since there’s often no buzz and steady release at the right dose.
I found 3mg Zyns to be decent at curbing vape cravings.
I'd be so weary of nicotine.. I used the spray for a mental boost for years.. so addicting. I quit cold turkey but was a literal zombie for days with my brain feeling completely scrambled. Very hard to use nicotine without it getting some hook into you, be careful!
I also bought the 1mg spray. Never smoked. Would be using it once a week get me addicted?
Dang Huberman just gave me the Zyn approval.
I do black buffalo pouches. 3 times a week. When I first started doing it I got so fucking sick. Now I use them when I am in deep though for work, just pop one of those babies in right after 100 MG of caffeine and boom. I can solve anything.
Sooo how do I quit cigs
bit of mental strength
Mix your own vape juices and slowly lower dosage to zero. Extremely easy.
Cold turkey and mental strength, then everyday convince your brain how bad smoking is.
The Easy Way by Allan Carr...not sure about the title or name, but I've been nicotine free for 6 years now, and I cycled through every form for years...
If you start taking nicotine after watching this you’re a fool. Nicotine is extremely addictive and extremely hard to stop using it.
We don’t care
Not for everyone. I had no problem buying a couple packs, using them daily, and stopping them cold Turkey.
@@saaw8344that’s the point, he’s trying to help you give a sh!t.
Ok go and do a couple more packets. Get back to me in 6 months. That’s how addiction works, nothing bad happens the first time, so you try it again, and again, then you’re addicted and wishing you never touched it.
@@Peecup lol I’ve been using nicotine for 16 years
K-Dips kratom pouches are awesome.
Kratom is an opiate derivate and is addictive.
I chew twelve 2mg Thrive gum a day.
Never tried ZyN or anything but 🚬 will try these babies this week
hi
Raising BP, I am out. Thanks Guys
nicotine gum also gives you a bowel movement from the heavens
As someone who struggled with nicotine addiction addiction for 12 years before finally being able to give it up, I find it insane that people are talking about the benefits of nicotine.
I believe this is an ad like most of these podcasters lately pushing zyn on their guests like andrew schulz, rogan etc. I believe that these people are all being secretly paid to promote this stuff. why else are they pushing it so hard?
Nicotine addiction through cigarettes?
huberman x tucker collab needs to happen now
I wish these videos would come with a rating or a warning...
Why?
@@johnmachter40 watching with children doesn't go over well when they start talking about hard ons
@@Spimmick oh ok. Just say it then. Noone knows why you post statements like that
I keep one in the attic like Anne frank
I’m dying
Looking for a reason to end my two week quit
I noticed some of our litter bugs like to Zin. 🐜 🚬
Every scandinavian person in the comments : 2 pouches a week??????
