Smokers/vapers report a balanced pick-me-up with reduced stress and a sense of calm. If you ignore the massive health hazard and addictiveness and just pay attention to the effects, it seems like the best possible non-intoxicant. There’s a reason why indigenous people used it regularly and it was almost immediately an export crop when discovered.
Nicotine createsTrusted Source a temporary feeling of well-being and relaxation, and increases heart rate and the amount of oxygen the heart uses. As nicotine enters the body, it causes a surge of endorphins, which are chemicals that help to relieve stress and pain and improve mood… Nicotine may also temporarily improve concentration and memory
Honestly, a wonder-drug. Minus the whole “highly addictive and smokers die a horrible and painful death” part.
Honestly, if it weren’t addictive, I’d probably consider vaping. But I have enough addiction with caffeine in my life.
Stay strong on your recovery friend 💪
