Methinks the Nicotine gum actually works...which is very surprising. I was very very dubious about it. Turns out I WAS addicted to nicotine. Can you believe that?
And ladies....watch out. This Asian is (supposed to be) experiencing better skin, fingers, hair, teeth, smells, sense of smell, and endurance. Though I suppose the accompanying weight gain isn't gonna be all that helpful, considering I just ate homemade tuna melt....
In any case, Nicorette is sorta weird. You can't just sit around and chew the gum. You actually chew the gum until it starts to tingle in your mouth, at which point you are supposed to just park the gum somewhere between your cheek and your gums, where it gets absorbed into your bloodstream. Then, when the gum stops tingling, you chew it some more until it starts to tingle, and repeat. It's mildly heartburny, and it's sorta weird just having nicotine all up in my mouth and my throat. But I am definitely surprised at how I'm sorta ok not smoking a cigarette right now. I also like that I get to chew it while I'm sitting in my law and public health class discussing paternalism and the legitimacy of regulation of second hand smoke.
I also find it helps to puff on an unlit cigarette while I'm just chillin in my apartment. All of this makes me sound sorta pathetic...and I'm sure that updates on my not smoking is not all that interesting to you, but it's not like I have anything else to blog about....except my epic awesome weekend, although I'm not all that sure you're interested in hearing about THAT either...except, suffice it to say, at least for now, that
1) I blacked out for the first time ever. And somehow managed to RECORD IT on my computer.
2) I paid 25 bucks cover to get into a club. And danced danced danced.
3) I was piss drunk from Friday 10 pm through Sunday 4 am.
4) I played full court basketball in jeans and a T-shirt, entirely drunk, and scored a quarter of the team's baskets.
5) I somehow paid 150-200 dollars for alcohol in a single night.
6) Over the course of these epic 30 hours before i passed out, I ate one large large bowl of Ramen (10 minutes before the basketball game), 35 pork dumplings (20 minutes after the basketball game), and 6 oranges (only god knows).

Given your description of Nicorete, I don't really see how that is different from chewing tobacco, except for the fact that chewing tobacco is grosser but probably much cheaper.
I guess it's just much more controlled, and basically just pure nicotine without all the other crapsd.
...I will admit though, I never even remotely understood the satisfaction that could be derived from sticking a pouch of tobacco in your cheek...but I definitely appreciate this slightly tingly feeling of nicotine being absorbed into my cheek.
