It’s true, thank you, we shouldn’t really be inhaling things. I’m not trying to criticize drug use – you do what you want to do and that’s fine with me… But the inhalation of anything that’s not prescribed by a doctor is very dangerous. As far as weed is concerned, you can eat it. Nicotine comes in mints and gums, for people trying to quit cigarettes. But nicotine in general is a drug that nobody should be using for any purpose at all. Nicotine has no benefit.

And if anyone is reading this comment and thinking that nicotine helps you with your stress, I very much understand. You should ask your doctor about propranolol, which is a very low dose blood pressure medication that can assist with anxiety and all of those “I need a cigarette,“ kind of things.

Note:

If you are struggling with insurance issues, you can get 90 day supplies of propranolol pretty easily through a clinic or through one of those online clinics. If for some reason you are not able to Locate any of those services, if you are in the United States, please reach out to me directly through private message and I can help you find a solution.
