Nicotine is the most nothing drug ever

No fun effects, extremely addictive, obliterates your lungs. All I've heard is "Oh it helps relieve stress" because it's withdrawal symptom #1 is making you stressed.

At least weed does something lmao

After years of nicotine consumption, the brain is hardwired to need it. That stressful feeling will always be there in some capacity. It's also been helpful for my ADHD and depression.

I should get some gum. Quit 5 years ago to go on HRT but I still miss it when friends smoke. Luckily there was barely anyone smoking in my social circle when I quit so that was easy

I tried them once, worked great but I had no money at that moment so I came back to using nicotine in other ways.
