    Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

    I quit cigarettes with vaping and quit vaping with zyn. Used zyn for a couple weeks and just weaned myself off and then went to sunflower seeds and gum, now I haven't had nicotine in 3 years. My addiction with vaping and smoking I think was really more to do with the physical aspect. The Zyn helped me with the nicotine withdrawal but I still wanted the feeling of "smoking." But it definitely helped me.

      @@jesusfreak7777 I started with 6 mg for about 2 weeks moved down to 4mg “on! Brand” pouches for 2 weeks then to 2mg pouches until I used them less and less. Eventually the last time I bought a can I didn’t even want them anymore.I always used wintergreen. So then I’d switch to wintergreen gum and alternate between. It got to where I only wanted the nicotine pouch when I woke up and would forget about it by my morning shower. I think tapering off of the nicotine is key.

    thanks for doing this video, no one else seems to talk about these things like you. I was an ecig smoker for years and it did get me off cigarettes but i had heart fluctuations and an awful cough with what seemed to be a boil in my throat. I then smoked heets for years and that gave me terrible sinus problems, as well i have a nasal drip. I have been using zyn and nordic spirit on an off for the past 2 years. One side effect is that they do cause stomach problems for me, especially diahorrea like symptoms. Im in ireland and one ingredient in them here is guar gum which i know causes these symptoms when its in sugar free candy. Coming off zyn is hard and it makes me dip back into taking heets, ive been in this circle for a few years now. As others say they are hard to stop, its an intense hit, although my friends who have taken them have came off cigarettes. Keep doing the videos , you speak the truth about nicotene addiction.

It’s a cheaper solution, I don’t have gross spit bottles and have chew in my teeth, and I realized I use less Zyn(s) in a day if I were to dip fully. I would do a can of dip a day and now only use 3-5 zyn a day. So saving money, doing less and less of a mess. Hope to quit eventually

    My parents each smoked 2 packs a day, and I started smoking when I was 12. I enlisted in the Army when I was 18 and continued to smoke (a pack a day) until I reclassed to infantry. I then switched from smoking to dip and did that for 4 years. At 27 I started my quit journey by starting with nicotine gum, then 21mg patches, and I settled on 4mg lozenges. I took 2 at a time (8mg) every waking moment for a few years... Then, one day I woke up and said, "I don't need this anymore."
    Its been 15 years, I've restored my teeth, gotten a few implants, completed Invisalign, and now have a confident and radiant smile. I live everyday remembering what it was like to be a slave to nicotine.
    If you're thinking about quitting, I suggest looking at Alan Carr's method to stop smoking. That really put my addition and dependency into perspective. I wish you the best - The other side is... Much more peaceful and empowering.

    Recommendation of quitting Smoking: Based on where you are at in the timeline:
    Smoking> Vaping > Dip Or Pouches + Carbonated Drinks (Sparkling Water) with Zyn (it helps with the throw hit alot of smokers/vapers enjoy) Then Sunflower Seeds/Gun + Sparkling Water
    Also I recommend starting FRESH each day, like if you are gonna switch, smoke that day and then following day transition into vaping, same thing with dip or anything else.

    I used On! Nicotine pouches to quit vaping after an 11 year habit. Been using the pouches for 2 years, and I'm having some pretty serious issues. The worst is the constant debilitating stomach pain - just an overall sick feeling, no energy, depression/anxiety, and they turned my teeth brown where the pouch touches them. Its at the point where the nicotine withdrawal is less painful than continuing to use them. Plus, using an entire can a day gets costly. Ive got some nicotine patches to help me through, but im done with nicotine.

    Being an avid 1 pack - 1 1/2 packs a day smoker of Marlboro red 100s, I was able to quit cold turkey after about 5 years of smoking. I chose stopping so abruptly because I tried many different vapes and found them all too gross (both manual fill and pod fill). The juice would leak and go in my mouth/throat, it was all sticky if it got on your hands. Overall, I just never had a good experience. I was fortunate enough to get myself to quit the way I did and have been roughly nicotine free for about 2 years now. However, I know people that do these ZYN pouches this video gave me great information about them and whether or not they’re a good supplement for the smoking habit. Pretty much I wrote this just to say thank you. Haven’t found a video really breaking things down like this.

      That still counts as a win to me. Its very common to over do things that bring comfort or happy feelings. Moderation is king. It should be a nice little accent to life, not a ruler you are a slave to. Everyone is different, and its hard to speak in generalities about addiction, but dr drew said its when it starts affecting your life negatively, it's a problem. I have to agree. Been off heroin for 5 yrs, so i have some experience. Good on you, you have learned an important hard-fought lesson. Hope you're doing ok.

    I'm a former snuser from Sweden. In my opinion snus is the most addictive nicotine product on the market. It's easy to use and you can use it everywhere without anyone complaining. It also contains much more nicotine than cigarettes. The problems I noticed was getting pains and aches from the restricted blood circulation in my body. Regarding velo and the artificial snus products, I think they are worse than the original snus with pure tobacco. I snused Velo for 2 months and I had headaches every day and got extremely tired. My mood was very low and I felt sick. It disappeared right after I quit. I do not recommend these products to anyone since they are very hard to quit.

I was in sweden too this year and they have loads of different brands some of them containing ridiculous amount of nicotene. The 4 mg ones are the lowest here and they still give me an intense rush. I have had stomach problems and also a cough when using too much. Trying to ween off to one a day and give up. They are exactly like snuff. No difference.

      It has been way easier to run and lift weights when i didn't do any snus for the whole day. Doesn't even make you feel good doing snus, just have to do it because it is addictive.

    I'm 53 yrs old. I started dipping Copenhagen at 14 yrs old and did so until the late 90s when it became super expensive. I switched to the cheaper Grizzly snuff until it became expensive as well. Then I tried Longhorn pouches (at the time it was $1.49/can) but now it's increasing to over $2/can but I do feel like the pouches are a little safer than loose snuff and I've always been mindful of moving it around, not leaving it in any one spot for too long. I've started putting the pouch under my tongue sometimes, as well.
    Anyway, I started trying a nicotine pouch called "ON" (8mg) after an oral surgery procedure and I kind of like them. Although I'm sure the nicotine pouches are safer than regular tobacco pouches your video has me worried about the aspartame absorption now. Maybe there's a non-flavored nicotine pouch that is free from aspartame.
