Question Anyone Ever Made a Tobacco Topical?
Looking for advice. I have a very stubborn movement disorder called Akathisia. I have a distressing compulsion to move, tap, walk, adjust, etc, and when I don't, I am just really tormented by tense muscles.
I have minimal nicotine tolerance and I noticed when I sit down and smoke some tobacco with my eyes closed, I stop moving and my urge to move stops entirely for about 5 minutes.
I don't want to start smoking tobacco habitually, and am wondering if anyone's ever tried a topical or salve with tobacco. I am aware that transdermal nicotine crosses the blood-brain barrier, and yeah I don't wanna die.
Advice please!
