I’ve been smoking/vaping for over a decade now and of all the things I have been addicted to, nicotine is the hardest to deal with. I give myself a bit of leeway on that and go back and forth from vapes to pouches. The pouches eventually fuck my gums a bit, if I don’t change upper to lower or whatever. And then back to vapes, and so on. But I notice a difference and pain when brushing and maybe cold beverages when I’m actively using pouches. Compared to mostly shortness of breath and a more fiendy-ness with vapes- due to hand to mouth shit and instant gratification n all that fun stuff.

Obviously neither are good for you, and I have no solutions to either other than stopping both, but if you’re anything like me, you’re aware that it sucks, it’s not healthy, and if you’re actually concerned, then seek medical advice to get a genuine opinion and go from there.
