I started using nicotine gum a while ago to help with what has now been properly diagnosed as ADHD. It worked quite well, I'd jump and and just do stuff instead of procrastinate. It helped me communicate and articulate and just think faster and clearer. Then I switched to vaping for a while but it was too much hassle so I experimented with other things. Gingko, ginseng, rhodiola, eleuthero, caffeine, l-theanine, pycnogenol, fasting, keto, etc. etc. Nothing really worked.
Then I found out about Swedish Snus and as an ardent swedophile I tracked some down to give it a try (it's legally sold but hard to find here). Sweden has the lowest cancer rate in the Europe BTW, thanks to snus. It's the safest form of tobacco. The ones I got were the minis, typically used by women
. I popped one in and a few minutes later I had this grin on my face for no reason. Everything was great. And I've been using it nearly every day for the last 3 or 4 years. Usually combined with coffee or energy drinks. My tolerance got up to using the heavy duty ones all day long. I'd estimate the equivalent of smoking 2 packs of cigs a day. A year ago I got prescribed literal amphetamines for ADHD but I like snus much better to be honest. Tobacco is just a do-all drug. Sometimes it's a stimulant, sometimes it's a depressant. It's neuroprotective against Parkinsons. It brings up your alpha waves (makes you creative). It boosts testosterone, lowers reaction times, suppresses appetite. It does A LOT of things. And not just nicotine but also the other alkaloids within the tobacco plant.
Anyway I decided to quit and it's been a month now nicotine free but I still don't feel myself and cant think straight. It definitely helped with cognition but without killing creativity (it improved it if anything).
