Nicotine Alternatives

You are correct Alisa nicotine itself does not cause cancer but it does destroy lung tissue leading to other illnesses. I am sure there is a study out there on what damage the lung tissue goes through. I like to read just medically backed studies though.

Source? Nicotine is a stimulant and constricts blood vessels. I’ve not read about it damaging lung tissue.

Do you have anything on Frankincense? I think it is used as well.

So much so, that I wouldn’t take them seriously. English is not my native tongue, but even I know the basics enough to curl my toes at some of those errors.

Most of the nicotine in e-cigarettes gets into the bloodstream through the soft tissue of your cheeks (buccal mucosa) instead of through your lungs, like it does with a tobacco cigarette. So, I’m not sure how nicotine could hurt your lungs so much.

I don’t see any valid studies showing nicotine destroys lung tissue. Can you link one for me please?

Hey I just put a recipe on here called Pain Killer Tea but I guess I was not logged in right because it asked for my long in afterword. Can you tell me if it is here or where to look for it.

Did you mark it as ā€˜public’ ? Because I don’t see anything named ā€˜Pain Killer Tea’

Did does show up on my page.

exactly my point…this is a site soliciting a product, wanting us, as consumers, to purchase their product…how am i supposed to take them seriously? reading that makes me feel like its a scam…
and if its a real site, promoting real products, its completely unprofessional…
if i was just out there searching for this type of product and i came upon this site as one of my options, i would, without a single doubt, pass this one up while muttering mockeries…and i will…i wont even read up on the thing that struck my interest, as i cant even take them seriously…

Frankincense, also called olibanum, is an aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes,

You can read about it here Frankincense

This is a little jaded aspect of Nicotine d/t it being a quit smoking website but for the most part the science is correct.

  • vaping is mainly metabolized via buccal cells ( cheeks ) liver and then the bloodstream so a much slower process than smoking cigarettes.

For every " bad " thing that is noted here I’ve found other searches where " good " beneficial attributes are praised for nicotine effects on the body. It really depends on who is writing the research.

Me personally being a Medical professional ( just my 2 cents ) feel that since there isn’t any long term studies there isn’t enough concrete evidence to go off of. Adrenaline may be aroused with Nicotine but really which deliver device is this in terms of cigarettes most defiantly , vaping I myself don’t get the huge rush and lightheaded feeling I did when I’d smoke this makes me ponder whether Adreline actually plays that big of a roll in nicotine via vaping ( just a thought ) and to debunk further I don’t have rapid heart rate when I smoked I constantly had high 90s now I’m in the high 70-low 80s which is typical of women. I don’t have shallow respirations. So we could be at this all day long. Vaping isn’t smoking and its effects are different. While physiology doesn’t change ( what nicotine does in your body ) my question is , does the route you take it in make a difference. I say yes and would like more evidence.

At the end of the day vaping is better than smoking in my mind.

I am with you on that statement 100% and I really believe my Doctor would tell you the same.

I am doing my best to get OFF nicotine completely but not from a health issue standpoint I just see nicotine either being regulated to death or becoming taxed at a rate that I will not be able to afford. I want it to be by choice not by regulation or taxation forcing me to give it up abruptly.

As long as I can vape without nicotine and not want to smoke again I am all good with 0mg nic vaping.

Your links don’t work, but I won’t correct it. The study was discussed earlier this year and was dismissed by the community. Here is one response:

The other one, I suspect is this one:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/05/150518111408.htm

It says that COPD destroys lung tissue. In the study they give people nicotine to help them get off tobacco.
