How does nicotine effect you?

[nicotinedream]

I think that it gives me a little Kick, that's what I call a Nic-Kick.

Some of my friends tell me that it mellows them out, calms their nerves.

How about you?

When I wake up and put few pouches or 2-3ml of loose snus under my lip, it takes maby a minute to take effect. Then a deep breath and the calmness and relaxation kicks in. Excellent feeling, mornings are the best. Then during the day I usually put snus about once in an hour so that doesn't give much of a kick. But if I take a few hours brake of snus the feeling is there, not as strong as in the morning but still pretty good stuff

helps me focus.

Helps my adhd. :lol:

Snus in the morning after a cup of coffee. Orgasmic.

I don't really like the so-called nic-kick. To me it feels like it zaps all my energy out of me.
But for now its either snus or smoking and smoking kills my lung capacity instantly (I feel THAT a lot) and I feel less energy that much longer.
Plus your mouth reeks.

I use to smoke. I will never go back to it. Snus has to be safer, And I enjoy it more.

Nicotine mainly gives me a relaxed feeling sometimes too much and I get tired.

This morning I tried skruf stark it nearly put me back to sleep it was so powerful. I would have to say its on par with Copenhagen, Skoal and the likes.

I'd say that nicotine sharpens the mind, so to speak, making it good to have a big ol' snus-up when I'm coding / doing my assignments. It stops the mind wandering so much, I find.

[edit] Thinking about it, that actually brings me to another advantage of snus over cigarettes - it's hands free! Why do something that helps you concentrate if it's all the while providing a distraction? Madness!

At this point nicotine makes me feel good. Snus in particular makes my upper chest feel warm and happy for some strange reason. Nicotine also helps me chill and if I go through withdrawl, in less than 2 or 3 hours I am edgy, irritable, and have a short fuse. I tend to go into temper tantrums and bark at people.

very relaxed, almost sleepy at night.

It makes me relaxed in the evening, feeling comfortable and calm.

Snus never makes me tired. Like the others, I use when studying principally because it keeps me focused. It's also nice that it's hands-free, much unlike smoking. I always found that to be a huge shortcoming of smoking while studying. A pris in the morning with my coffee wakes me up properly also.

It sometimes causes nausea (with degusting belch...) during the first 5 minutes after having the pouch in my mooth, and then, it's great.

Any similar feelings ?

[nzkiwi]

Try white portion.

I wouldn't say nicotine makes me tired, just relaxed. It's easier to fall asleep when you're relaxed.

[victor meldrew]

I only take Metropol Licorice, Mocca Mint white, Wise Citrus, and Catch dry mini Licorice and Eucalyptus.
Bad effects tends to decrease day after day.

Well, nicotine does not make me tired or anything like that anymore, it only helps me relax without tapping me for energi, it allso makes me focus bether on the things I want to
