Like...what? Why is this happening? I'm not used to not feeling like shit. Seems too good to be true. What the fuck?

Well, there is a reason why tobacco is famously addictive, nicotine affects the calm/happy chemicals in our brains in a pleasant manner, but I'm surprised it has such a strong effect on you.

Oh...I guess that explains it. And yes, I'm surprised too. It seems way too good to be true. Like wtf?

Maybe it is a coincidence? And no causal relation.

I don't claim to be an expert, but doesn't seem to be a coincidence. The positive feelings started literally JUST after taking the gum. Then I took the gum the second time, and it happened again. Exactly in the same way.

This is very interesting because I've noticed every schizophrenic person I've ever met is a chain-smoker. One of my old friends said he noticed it too. Literally every single one. There is definitely some link between smoking tobacco and schizophrenia- maybe it helps with the symptoms in some way. And if it helps one type of mental disorder, why not others?

Hmm, I'm tempted to try nicotine gum now, but it might be dumb to fall into an addiction just like that.

What is the Brand name??
Ah I don't know, honestly. My friend was the one who bought it, not me. I'll have to ask them again sometime. I did know it cost around $20 though, if that helps? I think they got it at like a gas station, next to the cigarettes. Though I'm not sure of the specifics, just the general, generic info.

No problem. Good call on doing the research. Honestly though, in my opinion, any brand of nicotine gum should work more or less the same. I mean I was in the mental hospital, Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) for 7 whole days a while back, and we got this really cheap, white colored, flavorless, nicotine gum that tasted bad...but it was still effective to me and the other clients/patients. Though I will admit this lemon one works a bit better, or seems to. But take what I say with a grain of salt. I've given no one any reason to trust me. I don't even trust me, lol.

I never hug strangers. Not even digitally. I am a germophobe. 6 feet at all times, please. And masks. I also am too sensitive to touch. I like when close friends and family touch me, but that's it. But still, thanks. I'm glad I seem to have made you happy. Hopefully it helps you like it helps me, though there's no guarantee. So don't get too excited, cuz it's sort of a 50%/50% chance type of thing, I guess.

How long are the effects per stick of gum? How many sticks per pack? Any other effects? You've got me interested. Your suicidal ideation went away? Amazing. Just my luck, I'd be cured of my suicidal ideation but get cancer from the nicotine. The volcano god is hilarious like that.

Does nicotine really causes cancer? I was under the impression that the issue was other harmful chemicals on cigars or even just tobacco. A quick search on google came up with different kinds of answers.

This actually sounds interesting. Maybe I will try some too.

But for $20 a pack, the flavor better last like an Everlasting Gobstopper (Willy Wonka).
