Probably I smoked excessively yesterday mostly cigarettes' and in between vaping ( in an attempt to get back to vaping) that contributed to sneezing, some running nose, throat closing, heightened alertness and some anxiety.
I remember this post and I started smoking on October 25th, with a few days skipped, mostly just to add it as another spike protein detoxer. But the other day I had a cigarette only 2 hours after the previous (I usually have two 6 hours apart with meals). And although it was relaxing, I felt like it was too much nicotine, but maybe 1-3 hours later.
I had made a grocery run and on my way to stop at another tobacco store I had a black jumping spider appear on my pants. I drifted a little out of the lane, but didn't see it when I stopped. Not sure if it was a sign, but the store I went to had a homeless guy outside. Anyways, when I got home I checked myself for spider bites and took a Liposomal Vitamin C just in case.
But I had smoked in my room twice that day because it was cold outside. And the lingering smoke smell bothered me, so I opened the windows and turned on the air purifier and left for a while. I had burning eyes, a runny nose and was itchy. My neck felt a little puffy or stiff, but I think it was just a muscle knot after massaging it out. Not sure if you can be sensitive to the smoke but not nicotine itself?
But anyways, I find it only takes 3-4 drags before I get a nicotine hit and feel calm and mildly euphoric. But if I take one more after that, I get a heavy feeling, mostly in my legs. And I put some peppermint oil on a paper tip in with organic American Spirit tobacco. I've been tearing off 1/4 to 1/3 of the cigarette after I roll it so I don't waste too much of it.
And I just found out from a vaping video after trying smoking first about 14 years ago (not consistent and only in a couple weeks spurts) that you can inhale with your mouth. I usually just breathe through my nose and exhale through my mouth, but this makes for more "throat hit". So I tried inhaling through the mouth and it's a lot less harsh.
I was wondering what's the longest you've reused tobacco that's been sitting dormant? I have half a pouch maybe from March 2023 when I had last smoked, so it's 20 months old at least. It smells fine and there are no tobacco beetles in it.
But more on the vaping subject, I want to try one of these pod systems so I've read and watched some videos on it. Maybe I'll just have to buy the liquid online with one of those tobacco or cigar flavors, because the local tobacco and vape stores have all of these fruity and candy type flavors. I could do a mint or menthol at most. I'm thinking I want to try nic salts with 1.0 or higher ohm pods so it smokes like a cigarette. XROS 4 might be too fancy, so I'm looking at Luxe Q, QS or Q2, although local shops seem to carry Caliburn and Smok brands.
