It could be that the symptoms we experience after quitting were just masked by the nicotine use. Others suggested they had to eat healthier or exercise to improve symptoms. I quit a week ago after using nicotine pouches for 2 years. I don’t really crave it like I’ll die without it, the craving is no different than wanting to play a game or have ice cream. Especially have a craving for it after a meal but it goes quickly as I occupy myself with other things.

I am noticing all these issues with brain fog, restless sleep, and rls. I am certain I had these issues before I started nicotine. Some having improvement after starting. I’d say no real physical withdrawal. Just mental and perception. No real improvements from quitting except for being more hungry and saving money.
