    I’m mad about alternative nicotine consumption solutions being limited to low power quitting aids, and not straight up alternatives to smoking with all of the drug and none of the lung tar.

      I think Zyns and vapes are a step in the right direction in that regard, already orders of magnitude less harmful than smoking, but I’m also a huge fan of the traditional dry nasal snuff, which has fallen out of fashion. I can take as much snuff as I want for any period and get almost no side effects (except withdrawal of course), while I get noticeable sores if I use zyns for 3 or 4 days straight, even a single one a day.
      Can’t say it’s 100% safe, as there is basically no research on it, and there is some evidence suggesting aged tobacco is a carcinogen by itself. Also there is some convincing evidence that fire toasted and fire cured things are carcinogenic, and some snuff is (this also includes food for grilling and smoking fans out there)

      Not that I’m knowledgeable about these things but zynn and vaping are for nicotine consumption, not quitting aids.
