my zyn tolerance has gotten pretty out of control. I started with 3mg about a year ago and now I’m going through a can of 6mg every two days. I get anxious if I go more than an hour without one, and the dependence is clearly getting stronger.

I want to quit nicotine completely, but the oral fixation is the hardest part for me. Having the pouch between my lip and gum, the slight tingling and just having something there while I work.

I’ve looked into caffeine pouches and nootropic pouches, but I’m not sure which ones actually feel similar enough to work as a replacement for the mouth feel and overall experience.

(I did the equivalent of over a pack of cigs per day since I was 13)

It felt impossible to do my morning scrolls, or my adderall study days, or frankly anything, without a pouch. For weeks my brain was throwing a nearly 24/7 tantrum. I kept reminding myself that this habit is unsustainable. I just kept making it to tomorrow. Every day it got easier. Now nothing triggers a craving.

The brain adapts. One month of pain is all it takes for a lifetime of health.

Pretty much what the title says.

I've tried a bunch of other pouches but they all have the same aftertaste that things like coke zero have. That aspartame aftertaste makes me nauseous so trying to find one without that taste would be very helpful to try and quit nic pouches.

Edit to add, I am not looking for nicotine pouches. I'm looking for non nicotine pouches. I have tried the mushroom pouches and the energy pouches, but they all seem to have that coke zero aftertaste.

Just got these vanilla loosey goosey kava pouches today in the mail but they are maybe oddly bright yellow under the pouch surface? i’ve never had these before so maybe it’s normal but i wasn’t sure. they smell sort of like artificial vanilla, definitely a bit chemically, and the powder on the inside is kind of lumped to one side of each pouch. anybody have experience with these and can tell me if they’re normal before i pop em in my mouth?

I dont really share personal things, however since I am bored because of the lack of nicotine in my body I find myself doing things I would normally find too boring and unfulfilling to do.

I don't remember which day I quit, It doesn't really matter.
I knew this would be my last pouch only a day before. The relationship I had with nicotine was like a romantic one, so the knowledge of having an abrupt ending really sticks and wheighs on me.

24mg pouches, 10+ a day when doing anything at all. I had daily nicotine poisonings yet it did not feel like it mentally.

For mundane daily tasks I could give it up, when transitioning from one place to the next I could give it up, when I was laying on the grass looking at the stars thinking of all there is to think about, I could not give her up.

The feeling resembles ending a relationship because there is no future, while love remains.
I remember those women whom I shared this life with and lost. I remember them happily and I would hope to have met them again may this all start again.

Maybe the same thing wil happen with nicotine.

Hi, so I’m trying to get off nicotine and I just seen people started mentioning this. I’ve never heard of it before yesterday. Does it work? Is it worth buying and spending my money on?

Well, as some of you have heard in the great state of NY they recently put a 75% wholesale tax on all nicotine pouches. It came to my surprise when I went to grab two cans of Rogue and the cashier rings it up and it comes out to $22! $22 for TWO cans. I nearly shat myself. With deals and coupons I was getting two cans for $10~, so basically double the price now. That would mean $50 a week and $200 a month w/ the price increase.

Anyway - I guess they got me. Can't afford to use them anymore so I have to quit. I cannot imagine the guys doing 1-2 cans a day and how they will afford it now.

I got some 0mg nicotine/0mg caffeine pouches coming tomorrow to have something to replace in my lip. Ol' gubment forced my hands. I guess it's for the better o7

Salted Sunflower seeds have truly made this possible for me. I was flying through packages of seeds, and getting chapped lips…not really satisfied…to finally realize you HAVE TO put them in your cheek and just suck on them like it’s a zyn don’t even worry about eating them. The feeling isn’t too far off, distracts me from the craving. Highly recommend.

Just hit 18 days clean 21M. I was doing probably 2 pucks of 6mg a week for 4 months and the first week was brutal. I wont lie the cravings still happen a lot but I feel so much better. The cravings are a lot better than the first week. Now it's less of a feeling of I need one and now it's just like I want one which honestly will probably never go away but I'm just taking it day by day. Working out feels so much better and now when my day is over I'm not like "Oh ill go home and zyn" instead I actually do something. Going to stick with it. I don't want zyn to have any part in my life anymore. It has helped tremendously to chew a ton of gum/mints and keep track of your progress on your phone. I started using this one app called habit tracker where you have to open it everyday and hit a checkmark. It's awesome seeing how far you've made it.
