I don't think nicotine is a bad drug, necessarily.

But smoking is a terrible way to take it. Lip pouches also have their detractions, with the wounds they create.

Perhaps the teas, or other drinks, or sprays are better. Or maybe salves, if nicotine patches do anything then a salve should work too, I'm guessing. I know there's bigger overdose risk, though. So they all will require the same personal responsibility approach as strong alcohol.

Ultimately I think legal access to strong nicotine products without the cancer issues of smoking is inevitable. But maybe only if we get to somewhere in the early 2100's, because I don't think it's happening soon.

Ah yes my daily nicotine coffee

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Likely not just daily. It has a short effective time.

Nicotine is poisonous when swallowed. A tea is a horrible idea.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Are you sure? I can't find anything specific to swallowing beyond dosage.

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My vape liquid has that skull warning symbol, says poisonous when swallowed and to see a doctor if that happens.

Might have to do with being a concentrated nicotine liquid for producing several doses, mate.
