I had great success using Fum when I quit vapes (which I got hooked on by trying to quit cigarettes), It really fulfilled that sudden urge I would have to vape. One day after maybe a month I just stopped having that urge and I haven't used my fum since. Thanks for making this video- people I talk to about it are skeptical for some reason but, like you said, compared to cigarettes and vapes- this is harmless. I work in harm reduction and helping people with their substance use so I hope to turn some people on to this alternative if they really want to quit.
Was on the ledge for days, your review was paramount in me making the decision and not shying away from this journey. The google search on the oils is much appreciated, sadly I think I was too lazy to deep dive on my own. Thank you and keep it up, never look back🙏🏼
I ordered mine earlier today and I cant wait to get it in the mail.. I've been smoking for 24 years and I'm ready to kick that habit. Thank you for this review!!
No problem! Thank you for watching it cause I really had no idea if people would. Still going strong tho and I’m proud of you for making this decision for your personal health. I’m here if ya need someone to speak with! Stay amazing
lungs still perfectly clear, been smoking 35 years.... the indian brand is just tobacco, the tailor made have I dunno how many extra man made chemicals in em :-(
Wow 9 days clean congrats dude! Now that this is a month old video I hope you’re doing so much better than while you were recording this video. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for making this deep review! I have been thinking of Fum as a new mom with anxiety and to keep me from snacking all day, because I think I just need something to fidgit with, but Ive never been a smoker or vaper, and I dont want to start a harmful habit if Fum is harmful. Ill be watching this to get that info
I managed to quit smoking 2 months ago, but trying to quit the vape. Just ordered mine, can't wait to try it out! Expensive but looking at other competition, fum provides the most robust device and most flavours. I hope they will do multipack savings that are customisable at some point.
I bought the FUM and don’t care for it. The flavours taste like eucalyptus or Vicks with a slight twist. The air flow indexing is poor as the airflow can and will be easily come out of adjustment. The price for the FUM is ridiculous for what it is. I highly recommend not buying it, just my 2 cents.
People always give me a lot of shit because I smoked for a while, then switched to vape cause I thought it was a lot better, and eventually I wanna quit smoking completely ( not weed, more tobacco and nicotine) but I don’t wanna just use anything and put my body through more than I’ve already put it through. Like some of my friends have told me there’s no point in me quitting because I’ve already damaged my lungs and why do I care what “fum” will do cause I have already smoked cigs. Thanks for the video, and the advice though, 👍🏼 really helped
That's the strangest reasoning: you've already crashed your car once, why not keep crashing it into that same tree? Well, how about because it makes the damage worse? lol Also, check out this nice infographic about why quitting smoking is helpful and can prolong your life: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_rBPwu2uS-w.htmlsi=gR6OL-nka3RgMF26
Ive stopped vaping for a little over 6 months. I'd like to say I'm fully free of craving but every once in a while I just get a hankering for a puff. I guess that's why I'm here
You’re a real good guy - thanks for such a brilliant video - I’m in the UK - trying to work out how to quit vaping. If you were round the corner I’d say hi, think we’d get along - hope you’re dong OK :) x
Thanks for checking out the video, I really does truly mean a lot to me to receive such kind words so I hope you the absolute best with your goals and aspirations! I’m always here to chat, stay amazing!
Although nicotine is a very addictive substance it’s relatively harmless. It’s the carbon monoxide, tar, and other toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke that will cause serious damage to your health. 🤨
I'm really proud of you. Man, keep up the good work. Um, I'm on. a similar journey Ma. stepdaughter and wife are buying me one of these for Father's Day And I'm trying to give up vaping. I am very determined. I'm going to give it up I had been vaping for about 15 years about 2011. So I really hope this helps. And I appreciate your review. Best of luck to you and all your endeavors.
Great dive into this device and mega-congrats on dropping the bad habit. I looked into Fum but ended up getting something called a Capnos instead. Same idea: an analog essential oil inhaler, but it has a little pressure valve that pops when you inhale to try and simulate a throat hit. I've cut back on vaping considerably over the last week and I'll be going 100% capnos soon.
That actually sounds a lot better. Getting an actual hit of some clean air to simulate the pull from a cig is probably the hardest thing to cope with. I appreciate you and keep going!
Really appreciate the time you took to go into this particular product, so thanks for that. However, and I'm not trying to dis you here, is that the whole issue with this is that pretty much any site online that sells anything to do with aromatherapy and/or essential oil diffusers/nebulizers, are going to say that it's okay for the most part. However, if you go to any legit medical site, they'll tell you that there haven't been enough studies done to determine whether or not it is safe. The fact that the toxicology services dept. states that it's not intended to be inhaled into the lungs kind of put the kibosh on fum for me but I may try it out without inhaling it into my lungs and use it as a replacement as a lot of the habit is in the handling of the object and not just the nicotine as addictive as it is. It should also be noted that not everyone reacts the same way to anything they inhale as some people may have any type of respiratory issue. There is quite of range of those. Just a word to the wise, if you try this and have any negative effects, stop using it. I personally thought I could go from smoking to vaping and my lungs outright refused to let me continue use of ANY type of vaping product. I also have sensitive lungs which doesn't make things any easier when trying to find an alternative and can only smoke a particular brand of tobacco. My body also produces an abnormal amount of phlegm and mucus. So, I'm just saying, take any and all info with a grain of salt and do as much research as you can.
I dont smoke but I have always wanted to be a nurse but I wanted to get a smokers perspective if it helps and I wanted to know what is in Fum and if its safe. Vapes also have nicotene and weed is less addicting than cigs and vapes
Is anything really safe nowadays. Vape are safer than cigs This is arguably safer and doesnt cause addition. Ive only used delta 8 vapes so there no addiction there either unless you have an urge to get high.
@@GrandDawggy I’ve had a few weak moments, mostly stress at work, but I keep the fum on my a pull it out as a reminder to not grab a cig. Maybe 1 or 2 times a week, I still grab a cig.
while im gonna try fum anyway, it bothers me that the toxicology report doesnt mention or test for toxins at all, its literally just monitoring how much essential oil weight is lost per draw and over time to air. That has nothing to do with toxicology, toxicology implies toxins, testing weight loss doesnt mean anything and doesn't tell us about the actual toxicology of each of their seperate core flavored products. Knowing how much oil im breathing in daily doesnt tell me anything at all.
Just ordered mine tonight . Seen the ad on Facebook and was thinking yeaa that's bullshit.. but from the reviews I said it might be worth a try . Smoked for 10 years , vaped for 2 years . I have bad health anxiety/ suffer from IBS( I'm told vape screws up your gut as well ) so I'm gonna hope this works enough for me to kick the habit. Awesome video
Giving up smoking is no easy task, but I’m proud of you for trying new positive things to ease off that nasty habit. I love smoking, but what turned me off is knowing how much a turnoff it is for most people and since I’m trying to date again, I figured smelling like smoke all the time is a red flag to most. People do tend to to ask me what I’m smoking when I pull this out, but it don’t stink up the area and doesn’t affect anyone else like smoking and vaping does blowing clouds. Definitely worth the purchase, I’d try all the flavors and see which ones suit you cause I really only like the orange vanilla, the rest are too much for me and I’m even easing off using this thing so I’d say it helped my main goal of kicking the habit and I hope it does for you too!
Thank you! I filmed it all in real time and didn’t think people would enjoy how long it was, but I truly appreciate your feedback and support! Stay amazing!
Good video man! Would only recommend in future to not read information directly from google search page and to instead check more for research papers, reports etc. Regardless, thank you for the vid!
Super helpful. I've been thinking of getting one of these to finish off quitting once and for all, but the price kept putting me off despite half the people I follow shilling it.
The price was a bit of a turnoff, but once you commit to spending that much you kinda commit to quitting as well. I had to justify paying that price with paying the price of smoking, both in money and health.
@@MoshMob I mean, true. I switched to vape back in 2012 and have been stepping back the nic concentration/vaping outdoors only since I got my own place last year (that vape juice makes for truly demonic dust, lol). It might be time to fully kick the habit now.
I'll add that most aromatherapy grade oils are safe enough. I think the only one that's borderline forbidden is clove, which is why you don't find clove vapes or heavily clove-y scented wax. Fum seems like they go after the oral fixation aspect of the habit. The unit not needing electricity and having built in fidget capability is a good tradeoff for the price though.
Just an FYI: Some essential oils in some of those flavors can be VERY poisonous and are NOT safe to inhale even diluted, with effects ranging from seizures to comas and death, so I believe you should be wary of inhaling some of these flavors (eucalyptus is one) into your lungs. Essential oils are one of those things that if you have pets or kids need to be out of reach or locked up, there are many cases of poisonings each year due to irresponsible storage so keep that in mind. I find the lack of transparency about this from the company to be a bit of a red flag and the whole "think about how bad smoking is for you" line is how most people were sold on vapes. I appreciate the diligence done in at least trying to do some research on the oils but you may want to do a little more before hand-waving the potential risks this product may have. Assuming you use the product as (not) advertised and only do "mouth to nose" it seems okay, good on you all trying to quit, just be careful
If you drink a whole bottle of essential oil, yeah, it’s gonna hurt you. No, this product isn’t going to end up in your death. I understand where you’re coming from but yeah, too much of any good thing is a bad thing. Do I know for a fact that this is much healthier than smoking cigs or vape, yes. I’ve been inhaling these for a few weeks now, sometimes a lot more than is recommended, and have seen no adverse health effects. Yes, you probably shouldn’t eat the cores, you’ll probably end up sick. Yes you should use this product as intended. If you believe breathing in essential oils is bad for you, then you definitely shouldn’t smoke cigarettes. No, breathing in essential oils is nowhere near as dangerous as smoking or vaping and there no proof, literally no proof, breathing in essential oils will lead to death or serious injury so your comment is very misleading and fear based. Please, feel free ti share any story you find where someone passed away from inhaling essential oils in the same fashion as this product is intended to be used. If you use this product as intended, you’ll be fine. Also, everyone is different, so if you feel like using this product isn’t for you, don’t use it. The company is very transparent about the science, I literally went on their website to find most of this info…
Thanks for the video, very informative! Just 2 questions if you see this message, 1. Do you find it addictive? 2. Do you inhale to the lungs? (like ciggs) Then release? I just need a temporary crutch to get off ciggs.
I did not find it addictive, actually barely use it anymore, it definitely helped to keep my hands fixated while I was craving. The 2nd question is complicated. On the website, legally, it’s not meant to be inhaled into the lungs. There’s no known side effects, but there’s not enough research to say for sure one way or the other and that’s just honesty. We breathe in and consume all sorts of weird stuff but it’s no excuse if you’re trying to live healthier. I believe in you and personally, from experience, it was worth every penny.
Just curious, I’ve seen a few replies saying you hardly use it anymore. How many times would you say you use it a day? And are you nicotine free at this point? Thank you in advance!
The same way a smoker will "french inhale" smoke, you draw it in your mouth and back out again without inhale, it can be puffed out your mouth by closing the void area in your mouth like the opposite of a cigarette draw or you can blow air out the lung and that blows it out the mouth without entering the lungs. Hope that helps.
@@ToddWyattRebelSon you are NOT supposed to inhale this into your lungs, although it will not do any damage to your lungs to do so. The essential oils and amounts they use for each core have zero adverse effects. I used mine for 2 months and quit it as easily as I started. Now I’m smoke free, fum free and breathing better. For anyone who says this device or the essential oil cores will damage your lungs, they are lying.
@@MoshMob Congrats to you bro for bettering your health but even FUM admits that you are just suppose to breathe it in & out your nose & not inhale it in your lungs. I have done tons of research on the subject & trust me when I type this, even they don't know the long term side effects from doing their product & since every person is different, neither do you.
Amen! Same here I gave up smoking weed just throw away like half a oz in hte trash last month gave up drinking for about 8 years now just gave up a lot things, but vaping was something i have hard time to give up and yes i need something in my hands and smoking somethihgn or jsut like in my mouth i know this seems weird or sounds weird, but yeah i think Fum gona do me good i order the pack of it kind of pricey, but then again i can just use it without the cores i mean its just hte habit i have i need to break from its not reallly nicotine that is the problem its the habit i been doing for years i use to smoke cigs for many years and used vaping to quick smoking i have quit a bunch times cold turkey, but i always went back to it.. though i find t find what makes me stronger and gives the strength is reallly my faith in god he really helps out a lot and im living my best life with god in my life always know god loves u man... take care great video.
How do u think this device would help someone who has anxiety and wishes to use it in stressful situations to calm down or would that not be a good idea?
i dont thinbk its a bad idea. if youre used to aromatherapy or seeking to try it and also like fidgeting with something in your hands. if youre not a smoker and never smoked, this device is still useful, but it can still be a bad habit to want something in your hands or to use something to relieve stress like this. if your lungs are pure, id find something else. but if you have the $$ and wanna give it a try, ive found it super useful even just for stress relief,
I know what he means by insane when you try and quit an addiction all your focus is usually on that but when it's not your mind needs something to focus on so those first few days your brain is like what are supposed two thinking about now
I don’t wanna be hooked on things that why I don’t quit weed but let me tell you more I don’t wanna have smells and stuff sos I constantly smoke weed and anything is heathy but I smoke week with no filters where there’s a bunch of tar that you can also smoke so yea cigarettes are bad
Remember not to mention banned words within the first 2 minutes of a video, it helps with the algorithm!! Use pseudonyms if you need to bring something up that negatively impacts your algorithm
Thank you for the advice. I honestly didn’t think much of this video nor did I assume anyone would wanna watch it, so it kinda surprised me. I’ll stay more aware of the words I’m using. Stay amazing
Hey thank you for all the love and support! I’ve not heard of Blakk Smoke but I’ll definitely check it out when I get the chance! FUM has been super helpful, I don’t really even inhale it anymore, when I crave, I kinda just hold it and maybe smell it every so often if the urge is bad. It’s helped a lot.
I also have severe adhd. Combined inattentive, hyperactive, and ring of fire. So smoking and caffeine started more or less as an unrealized self medication. And since ive been off meds its been worse. Ive been debating trying Fum. So thank you for the information and your opinions. Think im gonna order one soon. And subscribe. Check out my music Blood on the Canvas if you get a chance.
I was wondering if youve noticed a difference if you struggle with anxiety or something similar? I dont smoke or vape but im neurodivergent and have anxiety and was wondering if it was worth getting for the fidget/calming aspect? My psychologist and i have worked out sensory stimulation is really helpful for me and i was wondering if i should get this for more formal or compact settings, as usually when I become very anxious i dive for my scented slimes. ive looked over their website and ive noticed that while their main goal is for helping people quit, they do mention a lot about how they help through this anxiety aspect as well, and wondering if youve noticed that as a user of füm
I have indeed noticed it has helped my anxiety. Personally, the orange vanilla scent is really calming to me. I work physical labor and sometimes it can be really stressful so having this to fall back on has been a great help. Also using the FUM as a fidget device has been just as useful.
to be fair tobacco was said to have health benefits too back in the day. so saying essential oils are good for you because of some minor calming effects is moot. also thinking about it "logically" they also said vaping was harmless, they said "it is just harmless water vapor, not tar laced smoke" yet kids are suffering permanent damage. I believe the reason many people down play essential oils is they believe "it is just the natural compound that causes the smell of the item" but that is not the case either. essential oils concentrated extracts and may contain other compounds from that plant that may cause irritation. if you do not need to put it in your body do not put it in your body.
if I said this was beneficial to your health, i said it by mistake. but compared to smoking and vaping, this is a lot better, way better by comparison. not even a close call. i do agree that inhaling certain essential oils can cause harm and itd take a few years of study to know for sure any adverse health effects from FUM. Comparing it to smoking and vaping tho is not correct and id much rather see people using this than smoking. plus after a few weeks, id hope youd be over smoking and even using this. its meant to help you quit, not replace it.
@@MoshMob No, i doubt what will happen is you use it a few weeks and you will kick the smoking habit and ween yourself from Fum. This is like people who used to use chewing gum to kick smoking. a neighbor in the 90's did this, and no not nicotine gum or patches but average gum, and it worked but the gum itself became the habit and when she tried to stop the cigarette cravings came back. when you use a drug recreationally, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, your body adjusts to it. at the start it becomes a craving, go to far you risk addiction. yes you can distract yourself, with Fum or gum, from that craving but without that crutch the craving will come back.
@@kingrichardiii6280yes so you're just describing addiction, which is a struggle every day. You can be clean off something for a year, two years and still have a craving. If you're saying "I doubt you will do this" than you don't belong here man. People are trying to find safer alternatives and your negativity won't help anyone.
@@HippieLP not negativity but skepticism. to be honest the only way to quit anything is cold turkey. if you do not have the resolve and discipline to do that then you already failed. using a crutch like this only gets you so far, to completely get rid on an addiction is to nip it in the bud and do not look back.
You’re welcome to your opinion here, but please don’t discourage people from finding this information so the can make their own decision. The point of this video is to question the idea of needing an addiction so I agree with some of your points, but they are borderline insulting. Please just enjoy the video for what it is and allow people to continue to do research. Not everyone is you and some people do need help, it’s nothing to be ashamed of or insulted by. Let people find better habits, we’re allowed to have habits. Should you quit smoking, yes. Can you do it cold turkey? No? Well maybe this will help. Did it? Did it not? Did it help you quit? Did it help you avoid the urge to smoke? Good. Could FUM form a new habit, yes. Is it better than smoking? Yes. Is it good in general? I’ll leave that to the viewers to decide.
