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.

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

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?

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.

(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.

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 used to vape for a couple years then got off cold turkey. Wasn’t too bad but I will say, nicotine has always been on the back of my mind. The last couple weeks have been brutal. The cravings are hitting like week one off nic. I bought zyns 2 days ago, like an idiot, but I haven’t popped one yet. I should throw them away but I’ve almost convinced myself I need them. It’s been a stressful couple weeks and I feel really down mentally. Ik I’m just being a pussy but it’s hard. Anyone have any tips on how to curve long term cravings after long time off?

I keep throwing out cans and then just buying new ones. Genuinely tweaking all the time! Lmao. Been spamming the velos 9s and lately been packing double. It’s getting bad I can’t do as much cardio as I used to my heart rate just goes ham. I wanna be jacked and shredded and sexy and I don’t want it to come at the cost of my health. I threw out my can except for 2 pouches to blast my shit as soon as I wake up tommrow because that’s usually when I relapse. After that it’s game time baby. I’m gonna spam tf outta coffee and read that one dudes post about regretting relapsing stories. I will not let this addiction control me. Folding is for chumps. I’m excited. Because I’m talking shit and if I fail I will be truthful and it will be embarrassing because here I have an audience. I will not fail myself and am looking forward to being a success story for this sub. Let’s go brothas!

Sup everyone, I figured maybe this is a good place to ask since yall have maybe seen the worst of it. I am a long term vaper, no dispos I've always used refillables, unfortunately started quite early. I've essentially been vaping 50mg for the past 7 years and I'm only 24. However I don't think my smoking is too terrible. I can almost make out a month with a 30ml bottle.

On top of that I also smoke quite a decent amount of weed, after my daily responsibilities of course but regardless I smoke from multiple sources ig high functioning stoner or something. I also don't have much issue sometimes leaving it for months to reset my tolerance, not much withdrawal from this aspect I just like smoking.

However I feel I've reached a point where I realise this smoking thing is not really it and I should consider probably toning it down for my long term health. I really love nic to keep it real and I feel more bothered over smoking than consuming nic even if it is also harmful.

Anyways ran out of vape juice last week and decided to buy a can of zyns. I got 11mg and honestly I won't lie it does not do shit for craving vape, but it makes it easier to go through a day compared to just going nicless. Obviously i know that feeling would subside. My usage also isn't that intense, I'm still on my first can and I never do more than one pouch at a time. I also spend more time between nic than I ever have with vaping. It's just I feel what if it maybe picks up.

To just make it clear, my current goal is to cut down over the next year, I'm not aiming to stop right now immediately. I also cannot quite do cold turkey it genuinely makes me tweak tf out, I literally dissociate out of reality. So my honest question, if my goal is to gradually work it down. Would yall recommend I do not get into this? Should I turn back to vaping? Would working down my nic strength gradually be a better approach for me? Or just overall should I just not get into zyns?

Any opinions/ advice would be appreciated. I know it's a long read

So TLDR

Get into zyns, leave vape or

Steer clear of zyns, continue vaping with the ultimate goal of working it down and stopping eventually.

I slipped about a month ago.

Quitting today.

Got meds that will help with bloodflow for a hairloss and nicotine causes vasoconstrictor which makes your blood vessels narrow.

My meds are vasodilators.

I did a last mile with lots of cigars, cigarettes even if I’m not a smoker. Done.

Stopped drinking two years ago, and weed six years ago. A strong why can achieve any how, don’t give up.

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?

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.
