This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There is data to show nicotine might have a performance increasing effects on people. However, the idea is more that you ingest a safe amount via methods that are not smoking/chewing.
Nicotine itself is hardly worse than say caffeine. But obviously the negative effects of burning and inhaling a cigarette (with all that it contains), especially the carcinogenic agents, is absolutely stupid to think it's an even trade to pump your workout
I've heard that but how else is one supposed to get nicotine in the system? Chewing gum? Patches? Vapes? Is it soluble in a substance that's safe to consume?
If u aren't already addicted, don't even bother. Nicotine is fucking insane
Alcohol is worse then nicotine IMO. Although my life is shit and I have so many reasons to drink.
Too late unfortunately
Alright then. Hopefully you aren't like me though - constantly vaping 20mg nic salt throughout the day (I get cravings after like 10 minutes)
good luck quitting it, i was on 32mg juice for like 4 years before i figured it out
