I am interested, please share your testimony, I'm sure all would like to hear. I use the lozenges sporadically, definitely not addictive for me. Never have been a smoker.
Well I had long covid, after recovering from actual covid. Never vaxxed, but covid did a harsh number on me, taking me out for over a month with breathing difficulties that were very severe. I beat it by nebulizing with hydrogen peroxide, but symptoms (tiredness and trouble breathing) kept returning every few months.
First I did the vitamin protocols with NAC, the Dr Z protocol, then bromelain. I tried a few other things (including ivermectin), each for months at a time, but all of these treatments felt like they were just keeping it at bay, because symptoms would come back again after a month or so.
When I used the nicotine patch for a week, all the symptoms went away and didn't come back. I haven't used any of the supplements since then. This was probably 2 years ago now, or a little less because I started in October. Feel great.
(Note: I've also been on a carnivore diet for a year which has definitely been a positive, but the nicotine was before that.)
I’m very interested. My biggest fear is that I will become addicted to the patches or the gum. I’ve never smoked so I don’t know what the effects will be.
Yeah i recall this because I quit 6 months before the pLandemic hit and was so happy I did at the time because you would expect that a smoker would be much more prone to a respiratory disease. When the numbers started pouring in and it was found that smokers had less severe infection and death compared to non-smokers, I was tempted to light up again 😅
Yes, I remember that study. My long time smoker brother went through the early Covid without getting sick. Stopped smoking and within a month came down with Covid. Coincidence? Shrug.
BTW I was never a smoker but when 'covid' hit & I heard of a French study where nicotine competes with the same sites as covid in the body & therefore it fights it / helps prevent it, I started. Mostly just when I think I am getting sick & it does seem to help.
Be careful. Smoking real cigarettes has all of the other stuff added in. When I would get bronchitis or pneumonia back when I was a 2-pack-a-day smoker and I tried to smoke it was awful. I couldn't stop coughing, and my bronchitis/pneumonia took over a week to get over.
I got pneumonia once after I had stopped smoking and started making my own vape juice. I use flavors from one specific store I trust, and have for over 10 years now. I mix "Extreme Ice" - now called Extreme Cool, and Spearmint so it makes a very cool vape. I tried vaping, and the cool minty vapor stopped me from coughing. I raised the flavoring percentage and it helped more. Took me about 3 days to completely feel better. Big difference.
But - if you are going to go buy the pre-made Chinese vapes or juice you might be better off smoking. Those vapes are actually not allowed to be imported here because nobody knows what the Chinese are putting in them.
New study exposes big tobacco's guerilla marketing campaign on a whole gamut of nicotine products, increased sales 300% starting in March 2020, by infiltrating fringe groups and sponsoring fluffed up research papers...
Anyone out there w Parkinson’s able to confirm that nicotine reversed their disease? I have a friend w Parkinson’s and would love to share more information with him about the benefits of nicotine.
Side note —- I still can’t believe how corporations obliterated nicotine by making it take all the negative publicity associated with smoking. Time to make nicotine great again!💯🎯🔥
ChatGPT told me nicotine produces Acetylcholine effects. Acetylcholine is a key neurotransmitter in your brain and body. It plays a crucial role in communication between neurons and affects many systems. Low levels of it are linked to Alzheimer's
Aubergine(Eggplant) has the most nicotine but you'd have to eat 10kg to match the nicotine in one cigarette
If you don't make your own juice, consider it. Way cheaper ( The last time I checked I saved thousands versus what the local price for juice is for the same mount I make in my batch). I've seen 30ml cost from 10-30$. I usually buy a gallon of vegetable glycerine (VG), and once I add the tiny amount of nicotine and the flavoring I get about 1.5 US Gallons of vape juice that lasts me more than a year. I last bought my mixers in Jan 2024, and have my new stuff coming today - 1.5 years later. That makes 5678ml of juice - or 189 30ml bottles. Even at $10 a bottle that would be $1890 (plus tax) - so $2k ish. Depending on price fluctuation my mix ends up being about $150 to $175 - under 10% - and I didn't buy it from China.
I get mine as concentrated flavors from https://thevapemall.com . They regularly do 15% off DIY stuff pretty much every weekend. I get my VG from Amazon by the gallon. I used to get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PSGWHIO but it tripled in price. I've gotten https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XXHXRND the last 3 years and it is just as good. Make sure you get a vape juice app so you mix it right, get a food scale so you can measure by weight instead of ml, and something to mix it in. I use my old VG gallon jugs, put one on the scale and zero it out, put in the nic by weight, zero it out, then the flavorings - zero - VG - zero. Just remember if you make a full gallon you need a much bigger container - maybe 1.5 gal.
Lemme know if you have questions. I love it when people get off the Chinese mystery chemicals and save money in the process.
I'm not sure if the nicotine is really addictive, or if the chemicals tobacco companies add (to keep their customers) is the only addictive part.
I vape, and make my own juice so I know I'm not getting Chinese killer chemicals. For over 2 years pre-covid I was vaping without any nicotine - after smoking cigarettes for 25+ years. When I saw the French study that referenced French doctors noticing their covid patients were mostly non-smokerrs while the smokers were almost never getting covid I researched it. Then I bought pure nicotine (no extra chemicals) and added about half the amount of nicotine that would be in one of those old ultra-light cigarettes into my juice.
PSA - Be CAREFUL handling nicotine - gloves and goggles - 100% pure nicotine can kill you in small amounts. The amounts inside of vape juice or cigarettes are diluted and much smaller. Similar to water - drinking normal amounts is vital. Drinking too much will absolutely kill you.
Anyway - re-adding nicotine back into my juice didn't change my vaping habits, it didn't make me have the old feelings I had while actually smoking, and didn't lead to me wanting more nicotine. In fact it was the opposite. The next batch I made I used 1/2 the amount of nicotine as I used the time before. I don't know the real amount of nicotine we need to help protect us, but until I do I am sticking with the tiny amount I use. Maybe if I get sick I'll raise it, but I haven't been sick since my wife gave me covid at the beginning of the plandemic. It seems to be working for me.
Right. If you make your own it is just vegetable glycerin (VG), maybe some propolyne glycol (PG), flavorings (either make your own or use flavor concentrates from a trusted source), and (optionally) nicotine. BTW - VG is also used by millions of people as a hand lotion and a candy base. I don't use PG because it gives me a headache every time - I don't trust it but a lot of people make a 70/30 mix of VG and PG. It has something to do with making a vape puff feel like the throat hit you get from a cigarette.
There is one dangerous chemical in a lot of the Chinese juice, and mostly in certain types like the dessert flavors vanilla, custard, and butterscotch for example. Diacetyl. It is banned in the UK but not in the US - though most juice companies switched chemicals. That's the one that can give you "popcorn lung". China uses it a lot in their disposable vapes like Elf Bars - which are illegal in the USA and it looks like UK is also banning them.
Nicotine likely isn't as bad for people as the FDA has implied for years. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they were trying to get people to stop smoking and they used nicotine as the demon instead of the formaldehyde, tar, carbon monoxide, and all the other addictive stuff the manufacturers put in their tobacco.
Also nicotine (in very tiny amounts) is in a fair amount of vegetables, and --- tea. Vegetables include eggplant, green bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, cauliflower, spinach, and cabbage (there may be more). You probably won't ever feel the nicotine because you likely can't eat enough in one sitting, and the stomach acid will destroy most of it anyway.
Reminds me of an article I once saw. Excerpt below.
"Tobacco is described as the main curing tool of Amazonian healers (Barbira-Freedman, 2015) and generally portrayed as a “Master Plant” in this context (Russell and Rahman, 2015). The ethnographic literature describes tobacco uses for therapeutic purposes in conjunction with millennia-old Amerindian traditions (Wilbert, 1993) and highlights the central role the plant plays particularly in Amazonian medicine. For the Amazonian natives, the link between medicine and tobacco is so basic, that the generic term for “healer” in several local languages is etymologically linked to the word for “tobacco,” for instance for the Yuracaré people, where korrë-n-chata (i.e., healer) literally means “he who eats tobacco” (Thomas et al., 2011)."
Low dose nicotine patch can also cure "long covid" symptoms. Lots of good articles and research.

Plus, testimonial evidence from yours truly, because it worked for me. Ask if interested. Cheers, y'all.

Thank God you tried the Nicotine and it worked so well for you. What a wonderful testimony. Thank you.
That is awesome, I’m glad you found something that worked. I’m sure your post will help others too. Thanks for the information friend.
I’m very interested. My biggest fear is that I will become addicted to the patches or the gum. I’ve never smoked so I don’t know what the effects will be.
I did a longer comment responding to lindylee, so check the thread again.
But no addiction issues with me. I'm not a smoker, and didn't develop any cravings or any strange issues after stopping the nicotine skin patches.
I'd like to know too. I'm not convinced nicotine is even half as dangerous as the pesticides and preservatives used on tobacco
I did a longer comment responding to lindylee, so check the thread again.
Thank YOU LL! 👏
Wasn't there a COVID study where smokers had unexpectedly good outcomes?
Yeah i recall this because I quit 6 months before the pLandemic hit and was so happy I did at the time because you would expect that a smoker would be much more prone to a respiratory disease. When the numbers started pouring in and it was found that smokers had less severe infection and death compared to non-smokers, I was tempted to light up again 😅

I don't remember that, but so many good reports coming out about nicotine lately...
I remember that.
I don't care. I'm not making everything in the vicinity smell like tobacco smoke again, to say nothing of all the yellow stains.
There are other ways.
No smell unless you have 10 people vaping at the same time. But as an ex smoker and new vaper, I would NEVER recommend anyone be as stupid as I was.
BTW I was never a smoker but when 'covid' hit & I heard of a French study where nicotine competes with the same sites as covid in the body & therefore it fights it / helps prevent it, I started. Mostly just when I think I am getting sick & it does seem to help.

Oh, only American Spirit & from now on, only their organic tobacco one but, I don't smoke very often, certainly not every day (unless I'm sick)

Well! I decreased my vape juice to the lowest, 3%. Guess I need to increase it.

Where do you buy the ingredients? Like menthol.

Not sure ... let's keep studying fren
It is addictive and this was the only time in the hundreds of tries that worked.

Wow! Fantastic link! Thank you Halmer! 👏
Sure thing! :)
There are studies that show nicotine patches decrease
Yes... understood...that might be an eyeopener..
I take my nicotine in the form of an eye dropper. Like LSD. Really hits the brain that way.
