Addiction

This post was originally published on golifelog.com.

As you might know, I smoke cigars two times a week with my best friend on my balcony. It has been a ritual for years and won’t change anytime soon. But there is more.

Quite a while back, I also started smoking cigarillos in between those cigar meetings. And most recently (well, quite a few months back, honestly) I changed those for pouches filled with synthetic nicotine.

My consumption of those pouches skyrocketed a bit, due to tracking I know my average per day is around 8.55 (totalling about 145 micrograms of nicotine).

Thinking about my health stuff (and recently discovering the changing of my oral membranes due to the pouch consumption), I decided I should get rid of the pouch and cigarillo addiction.

There is no definite path yet (since I got a small stockpile of those pouches), but the plan is to reduce smoking down to only the cigars. We’ll see how it goes.
