I just relapsed after 36 days of being nicotine free due to stress from studies. I’m actually surprised to see how little it did despite going for the highest dose I previously used. It’s not really much of a nootropic or a fun substance compared to the detrimental effects it has. It’s not worth the constant pain and cravings for a few minutes of ‘cognitive enhancement’. Wish me luck guys, I hope I’ll get rid of it for good this time.

Quitting nicotene basically removed any sort of anxiety and stress I had in my life. I forgot what it feels like to not need a substance constantly. The first week is the worst. If you get past that your gonna be fine

I am so grateful to be nicotine FREE. Over 15 years

As a user of zyn 6mg for the last 6 years. This is sad to see. I am free of the addiction now 140 days. Here is the dark side nobody shows. ED, high blood pressure, less endurance, mood swings, major gum bleeds, loss of enjoyment in anything outside of nicotine. When I quit I craved my hobbies again and no lie got smarter and sleep much better! This stuff is toxic and poisonous!!

25 days free of nicotine today.....just beginning to see some rays of sunshine after 3 weeks of absolute horror withdrawal symptoms. I literally thought I was losing my mind. Stick with it folks, it does get better.

Used ZYNs to quit smoking weed now I started a worse addiction (imo) I go days without sleeping pray for me 😅😅

in europe i mostly see 50mg pouches of snus, for those who dont know, its pretty much the same as zyn just much stronger. So for me its kinda wild that people think 6mg is a lot.

I realized how sick i was from nicotine, and it still took me around 10 years to give it up.

They just use the nootropic thing to justify their addiction. It's funny seeing grown men describe a nicotine buzz like it's some profound thing.

In my opinion when you're in the middle of a nicotine addiction it's common to argue all the benefits yet those of us who quit know what a relief it has been not to need nicotine on a daily basis.

Coming up on 6 months nicotine free. 3 weeks off weed. Thank you bro, your videos helped me a lot.

I began smoking when I was 18 in college. I have tried pouches, Vaping, Gum. I found that vaping helped me quit smoking last in july (1 year ago exactly) Vaping was more addictive to me and I still get the urge to buy a disposable vape nearly every day, I'm currently taking 5-6 4mg nicotine gums a day. I find it helps with my focus but increases my anxiety a little bit. nicotine addiction is so hard.

What a great and thought provoking discussion! Thank you

I love how you also promote other products other than your own. Shows you truly want to help people 😎. Had my last hit of nicotine 30 minutes ago, gonna watch your videos to help me quit!

The work you are doing Dr. Frank, is God’s work. Your posts have been immensely helpful in my personal recovery from addiction, and the amount of time and effort you dedicate into each one of them will pay off not only for your career, but for the health and wellbeing of all viewers.

Sobriety from ALL drugs and stimulants is so sadly understated, most will never know the freedom it gives you in all areas of life. Been off all caffeine and nicotine for just two weeks after my sleep and mental health being in the gutter despite eating super healthy and staying moderately active. I couldn’t stop smoking until I quit drinking coffee, and couldn’t stop drinking coffee until I quit smoking, they had to go at the same time. Sometime addictions feed each other. My mind and spirits has been restored, thank the Lord, I’m telling you all. God + Sobriety + Righteous living is true freedom! “All things are lawful to me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any!” - 1 Chorintheans 6:12

Your channel helped me quit vape and cigarettes 650 days ago. Life is good 😊

I agree with your statement. Patches are the best way to microdose nicotine use. It helped me quit smoking and nicotine down the line. I used step 2 and then step 3 patches for just 3 weeks and smoking addiction was gone, along with nicotine addiction. It supplies nicotine in our bloodstream in such a low amount throughout the day, that we are easily able to get rid of that "nicotine rush" addiction.

All this will do is resurge a horrible habit we were getting away from. People will be strung out on nicotine because people (generally) lack discipline and are easily addicted. This will not take us anywhere good.

The best way to end an addiction is not to start one. Why are we allowing a new generation to get addicted to nicotine.

Huberman advocating for nicotine is tragic. He’s a smart person. He should know better.

The issue is that a lot of these grifters (tucker Carlson and others) think that nicotine isnt a drug when it absolutely is

One of your best vids i enjoyed this bro

This hit hard Dr. Frank. 1 day nicotine free so far after you posted this video. My doctor prescribed Chantix and I’m having some crazy side effects.

you could get a similar, lower risk nootropic effect from green tea smh

The most important testimonials we need are those from people who have never associated it with a habit or in combination with other chemicals that create unknowns.

Trying to get everyone addicted to nicotine

I do half a mg, usually about three times a week. I time it with meetings or lectures. It helps me with listening. I still need to review the material the next day. If I need to write a document, it helps with procrastination. tI gets the ball rolling.

Cant stand this new narrative about nicotine people are pushing of “oh it makes you focused” well yeah, you’re addicted to it, you’re not any more focused than if you weren’t addicted to it altogether imo. When I was addicted to nicotine, the only stress it was relieving was the stress to the actual addiction I was feeding.

I just went to the restroom the first time without vaping and it was not pretty lol

What started as a nootropic ended with doing 20 x 11 mg. pouches per day for 7 years. Be careful!!! Your tolerance will build quickly, and your heart doesn't do well on those crazy doses. I just managed to quit recently and I'm just as sharp mentally as I was before.

I love you, whatever your name is. youre doing Gods work. im benefitting

Nearly 8 months Nic free with your help doc

Have you made a video of your process of quiting and why your sarted with first and how long it took to be fully sober?

I quit smoking 10 years ago. I found it baffling this new push to use nicotine. It is the most addictive drug by far.

Im 70 days nicotine free :) Stay strong.

I quit nicotine after constantly vaping the highest mg nicsalt on the market for years. Through God all things are possible. The gum really helped too haha

138 days free, I can focus just as well off nicotine

Mixing weed and tobacco in a bong is a whole beast in and of itself. I can happily say that is now part of my past and not my future!

I've been able to moderate pipe smoking -- usually 1-3 bowls per day. I rarely feel compelled to go above that because my palate tires of it. I don't know how much nicotine I'm absorbing from it, but suspect it's more like a micro-dose since I, like most pipe smokers, don't inhale and it takes upwards of an hour to consume a bowl. I feel a mild elevation of mood, but not a buzz like cigarette smokers describe (I've never had one myself). For me at least, it's less addictive than coffee/caffeine. I will skip the pipe entirely some days, but I can't fully function without at least a couple of cups of coffee or some other form of caffeine. From the pipe smokers I know in person and online, my experience is fairly typical; although, there are some who will chain smoke his pipe all day.

What do you recomend if nicotene actually helps your mental health? From a young age ive always felt like im missing something to feel "normal" and nicotene made that go away. I dont know how id deal with that if i quit vaping.

My boyfriend was causing me too much of a dopamine release. I had to let him go until I am firmly sober. I smoke my last few cigarettes and then will stay sex, masturbation, relationship, alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine free. All feed each other. I am going into monk mode. I love you, Chris. I will return victorious once my dopamine is rebalanced and finally stable.

I use to vape, use zyns, smoke stoges. Whatever I could do to get my fix. I was constantly on nic, even when I went to sleep I'd have a zyn and/or vape under my pillow. I'd wake up to hit the nic and than proceed to have crazy sleep paralysis and vivid lucid dreams. My chest started hurting so i stopped.

Hi Dr. Frank how are you? How was your 4th of July? How are your family?

supplementing with choline (alpha GPC) can help restore the focus - nicotine works on acytlcholine receptors!

Cool shirt dude!

I got off the nicotine gum a few years ago or more after chewing daily for years quit ciggs over 30 years ago. Now on day one no weed. Over 4 years no alcohol.

Hi thank you for this video timing is perfect, i have pretty severe ADHD and in the past i really didn’t want to be medicated with stimulants because of health reasons but now im failing to fulfill my duties in life i find that caffeine and nicotine can be very helpful but i worry about all the problems you just described so its a toss up for me because idk what is worse caffeine nicotine or adderal i know i need help from doctors and EF therapy but i dont have insurance rn i know you aren’t a psychiatrist but man you would make a good one if find that i have to do alot of work on my own to figure out how to take care of myself because of my mental health like yesterday i wanted to have a drink or a smoke 💨 so instead i went to the gym but i ended up doing like 70mins cardio until i threw up 🤮 yeah its better than drinking but man i do struggle to moderate at the same time being totally sober and healthy my mind still isn’t capable of doing what i need to do in life

I quit nicotine when I realized that this drug doesn't make any person better in any way. They are just looking for the good sides to comfort their addiction. While quiting nicotine i quit also all nicotine addicted friends because hanging out with them was just boring and frustrating. Now i feel I'm living my life purposefully, raising kids, loving my wife and doing business what i love without lame nicotine associated disturbances

Has anybody had success quitting everything? I stopped vaping but I still smoke cigars once in a while which isn't good. I find it almost impossible to quit everything as daily I look forward to some sort of stimulant like caffeine, preworkout, cigar, etc.. I feel like I can't get dopamine from just living a normal life like when I was in high school I didn't do anything addiction wise and I wasn't happy.

Unfortunately I got addicted to nicotine for the second time of my life after seven years abstinence! I regret taking my first hit of a friends vape 2 months ago. The experience was intense! I know it’s so bad for me and I was doing so well before I started so I’m working towards quitting again.

Really love your videos. However for anyone looking at your "craveless" supplement, it is literally just a small dose of KSM-66 ashwaganda and NAC which you could buy separately for a third of what your charging

I just want to be sober. But don't have the passion anymore bc I've tried for 3 years and failed and failed and failed. I hate my life I give up and I have no reason in trying anymore

I've been addicted to nicotine for 10 years and honestly i've never felt any of the positive effects other than fullfiling the needs that addiction to the substance has created itself (like feeling less stressed because you satisfy your cravings or just being able to connect with other addicts during a ciggie brake or in the other social circumstances). In my opinion (and in the opinion of the smokers i've been talking to) it's the most stupid addiction you can actually get into since it brings nothing to the table. If you were a regular smoker and you were able to quit for some time and then smoke one cigarette after a while you propably would feel absolutely nothing excluding pleasant taste of earthy/nut flavour you wouldn't experience if you a smoke regularly since your tastebuds ain't working the same way and maybe a little dizziness. Even in my hometown there is a homeless guy that would do every drug on this planet and still he would say he ain't that stupid to smoke cigarettes 😂

Quitting vaping was the hardest thing I’ve ever done it was the only thing in my life that I enjoyed other than eating and sleeping

I wonder what would happen if they tested Lions Mane to cure nicotine addiction? I’m a non-smoker but I have never taken any supplement as awesome as Lions Mane. It makes me focused and relaxed.

It's extremely addictive. Then eventually you go back to smoking. Nicotine also lowers your insulin sensitivity and that's really bad. I felt really shaky and nauseous after and it's never a good sign.

Its almost as if these guys get sponsored by Zinn...

This is crazy to see. I have struggled with nicotine addiction since I was 13 and I’m 44 now. I’ll quit for long periods and then relapse. I’ve gotten it done from a pack a day to very tiny amounts and only occasionally for the last 2 years but I’m still using, even if it is quite a low amount. I wish I had never even tried it. It does nothing really for you and if you don’t keep it in check you can get out of hand with it quite quickly. I really like this video.

i find doing 1-2 three milligram pouches a day (and missing some days) to be easy to moderate. i dont have any cravings or anything when i come off of them. i specifically use them before working on something as well

Is it really true that nicotine reduces blood flow to the brain? When I search it up some articles says it does and some doesnt. Do a vid about it as well going in to more detail, that way it sticks more and the consequences of lack of blood flow to the brain

I smoke pipe tobacco but it’s for the taste not the nicotine. I typically smoke twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening.

Ive had 3 times of nicotine poisoning since i started vaping and its been years but i am vaping a lot more. But i like it. Im vaping right now. The pouces make those annoying long events tolerable and enjoyable

Nicotine was the hardest drug for me to kick (Cigarettes, Pouches, Gums, Black and Milds, Vaping), finally kicked that 2 1/2 months ago from a 30 year habit, and THC was the easiest (1 month ago). Quitting alcohol and caffeine at the same time 2 months ago got me off nicotine, and I was able to quit THC shortly after that. I relapsed the most on nicotine.

0 to 8 mg a day is good in my opinion. 4 mg to get up & going if you have pain in the morning. I tolerate it better than coffee, which disrupts sleep and feels more addictive to me because the effect is much longer lasting.

Never had that s-IT and never will im proud of myself😌

I’m on my third day of no Za, but I picked up smoking cigarettes the same day I stopped, what should I do

I love to sleep with a patch on. It makes 2 hours of sleep feel like 6 hours

Choline uses same brain receptors as nicotine, it's a edible nutrient. So in theory it should have same effects, maybe not as long lasting or concentrated

Is there any evidence of association between cancer and nicotine itself? Or this association is always connected to other substances present in nicotine products (pouches for example). Thanks doc!

I see Zyn everywhere these days. If they are shouving it down our throats, it can't be good for you.

people are quiting cigarets so big companies bought off "influencers" to promote new highly adictive profuct. Big money, becouse remember how long and hard you fought to quit that shit. they dont care about you, just start consuming product, they need money

Nicotine and caffeine are suposed to be taken as a treat, not in a daily basis so you depend on them. Plus when you doing them occasionally, you enjoy the effect much much more.

Nasal snuff is AWESOME and not particularly addictive for most users provided it's their only source of nicotine.

It's certainly not my favorite, but, does go quite well with all of the others.

Right they almost tricked me into doing it again!!!

I take one to two 2 mg mince over an entire day I find a great.. have not experienced any addictive tendencies

I thought u stopped the coaching?

So insane to me that people with huge platforms are advocating people to get addicted to nicotine. The addiction and long term side effects are awful.

I like nicotine in moderation. It can definitely become a problem! 1000%

Dr frank, your videos help me a lot appreciate your personal insights on addiction.. been sober for almost 5 years next month no alcohol or weed and now 2 months no nicotine.. I personally feel like nicotine is the lesser of the three addictions so I used it as a crutch for awhile but when I was ready to let go I finally did thanks to relying on god and also watching your videos to keep me motivated.. thanks brother

Quit zynbabwe after 2 months of ripping the gum pillows. 6-7 daily. EXPENSIVE! First week after quitting I was tired and foggy all day long. Sucked

Im addicted to coffee already why would i want more attachements

Im gonna stick to my tobacco pipe. I got walking pneumonia from vapes, get heartburn fron dip, yet jothing with my pipe

used weed to quit nicotine/caffeine because weed is the only drug i can reliably quit without replacing, then cut down from daily smoking to 1-2 days a week. which is basically where i want it to stay, i dont drink or anything so those 1-2 days are my drinking i guess?

i never liked the sensation nicotin does to the throt

Not my favorite drug but I think nicotine use might slightly dip at times. "No pon intended" Overall though it has consistently stayed the most used addictive substance for over 2 centuries.

hey guy! great informative video! nothing creepy about this, i tell people who do! you have nice teeth 😁 lol

Im sober and miserable.

That’s a cool shirt Calvin Klein is nice

If you keep taking 1mg a day, that tolerance is gonna build up soon and it won't do jack after a while. Everyone's body chemistry is different too and no two people will react to nicotine (or any drug) in the same manner. Some might need 1 mg, some might need more. I think the questions we should be asking are, what are the harms? Specifically, what are the harms compared to other substances that are completely legal to consume? I absolutely despise Tucker for the most part but he's not wrong, at least not on this one. Even if he's probably in Zyn's pockets lol

Do not use Nicotine gum. I used it and it really affected my stomach badly. I am free almost 15 years! And I quit drinking in 2011.

2 years nic free. Quitting nicotine is something i never want to experience again.

I agreed it's a drug people think since it's legal it's ok

17 days sober from cannabis Tobacco no addiction MDMA long time ago LSD 3 years ago Dmt bad experience Shrooms no addiction Xanax never hooked on any Codeine or promethazine only if I’m really stick Alcohol 1 year And that’s all I got 💯

I seriously despise tabaco companies

"i wanna talk about the negatives first" after showing clips of nicotine high lighted in almost solely a positive light for 7 minutes straight lmao

You're smoking the wrong plant 😂😂🤦‍♂️🎉❤🎉

Its has been the hardest famn thing to get off of. I am convinced it cant be only nicotine that they have in there.... Theu just srem so much more addictive than ever
