Cigs are a fantastic buzz but I don't need to get into the downsides.
Gum was shitty. Tastes like shit, unpleasantly peaky, upset stomach.
Zyn isn't as great as cigs but is far more pleasant than gum. Definitely my go-to now (although I am currently a couple weeks off nicotine).
Haven't smoked enough cigars to have an opinion of them. I was pretty accustomed to cigs & IDK if I was drawing on them quite like I should.
Haven't tried vaping. I suspect it's a decent buzz, but I'm pretty sure my tolerance would go through the roof & I'd be highly dependent on it.
Haven't done lozenges but some people say they are more cr than pouches.
Haven't done chew, snus, or the patches. I will never try these products now that pouches exist.
I should perhaps give pipe tobacco a try. There's a chance I like it more than cigs and there is something charmingly old-school about it.
