Safer nicotine

[Mr.50's]

Hey everyone, this is mostly for people who's symptoms are reduced from smoking. I've recently discovered snus, they are basically little tobacco pouches. These things are cheap, they are not fire cured which releases carcinogens, and are accepted as the safest way to consume tobacco out there. The chance of getting oral cancer from these is like 1% and if you don't believe me there are TONS of studies out there that confirm this. I am not recommending consuming tobacco of any type even one this safe, but I you find nicotene helps to alleviate your symptoms, you should at least give it a try, he'll of a lot better than smoking.

Uhhh.... Why not 0% chance of cancer? Gum? Patches? E-Cigs?

Snus is a Swedish thing, its quite heavy (in terms of nicotine) but still better than cigarettes I suppose.

 

Does smoking increase or decrease symptoms?

[Mr.50's]

Puppeteer, I don't fully trust e cigs, they appear relatively safe but there is really no research into them yet. Floydian1973, yes it definitely reduces my symptoms and gives me a nice mood lift

nicotine definatly helps me deal with my symptoms though if you don't smoke already don't start because it could possibly do the opposite to you
