    Who would want other nicotine options without cigarettes or vaping? No one is starting out with nicorette.

      I tried to start with both a patch and gums years ago because of the stimulant benefits and the decent risk profile of nicotine on its own. I've never smoked, never will. Didn't stick - it was too hard to get used to. If I could get it as a flavourless pill, maybe.

      Many people. There are many different tobacco products that either are smokeless or that you don't inhale that are common in different areas, like dip, snus, snuff, cigars, pipes and what have you. In some regions those are what people start using nicotine with.

      Actually I started with nicorette because of nootropics blogs and nasal snuff. I've only ever smoked 1 cigarette although I did partake in some hookah.
