Anxiety, Stress and Nicotine?
ByIs there any safe way to take in Nicotine?
Iv had severe anxiety my whole life, stressed out all the time.
Iv been put on every med under the sun, nothing works, or at least not without messing my whole body up,
I am not a smoker, but I take in Nicotine in through snuff occasionally, it is the most calming thing i have ever experienced and without making me feel chemically restrained.
The funny thing is I never used nicotine as a kid or teen, just now at 29 (what adult starts using something so dangerous, yes I know)
I know it sounds crazy but nicotine calms me down better than all my sedatives, anti psychotics, mood stabilizers, even more than THC
So is there any safe way to take it in?
At this point in my life I would take oral cancer a million times over my anxiety,
at least you die from oral cancer, my anxiety just makes my skin crawl and i dry heave all day.
The risk of mouth cancer at this point far out weighs the years of pacing and torture I go through mentally, thanks though 
no, there is no safe way to use nicotine. Using snuff is a good way to get oral cancer. Proceed with caution.

well, i have to say, i doubt there is any recommended way to take nicotine however a nicotine patch is probably way healthier than snuff.
**my uncle quit smoking at one point and started to have bad bad mental and physical health problems. The dr said after repeated and failed attempts to make him feel better that "all i can tell you is to start smoking again" It actually cured whatever it was that he had going on. People react differently i suppose, this is not really an encouragement for you to continue using snuff however, you do what you have to i suppose. If you can afford the nicotine patch (buy it generic, its cheap) then maybe thats not necessarily a "healthy" alternative but a healthier one.
also, there is other both legal and non-legal methods of feeling better…by using herbs. Or if your lucky you may live in a "medical marijuana" state.
Really what it comes down to, if you look on the labels of your meds. They're all technically bad for you. Bad for your liver, bad for bones. Whatever. Nicotine isnt that much different. It just hasnt been FDA approved. Again…not recommending anything, just presenting my view on it.
