Since I am on 'ignore' maybe someone else will hip Redemp to this information, The Harmful Effects of Nicotine and the The Cancer Risks of Nicotine Gum

RIP Dick Dale

Quote taken from The Oral Cancer Foundation's article, Cancer Risk of Nicotine Gum and Lozenges "Scientists have discovered a link between mouth cancer and exposure to nicotine, which may indicate that using oral nicotine replacement therapies for long periods could contribute to a raised risk of the disease. A study funded by the Medical Research Council, led by Muy-Teck Teh, of Queen Mary, University of London, has found that the effects of a genetic mutation that is common in mouth cancer can be worsened by nicotine in the levels that are typically found in smoking cessation products"

Quote taken from The Harmful Effects of Nicotine "Nicotine poses several health hazards. There is an increased risk of cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal disorders. There is decreased immune response and it also poses ill impacts on the reproductive health. It affects the cell proliferation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, DNA mutation by various mechanisms which leads to cancer. It also affects the tumor proliferation and metastasis and causes resistance to chemo and radio therapeutic agents."

@Lilly Sorry for the skirmish on your thread. Thinking of you and hoping you are doing good and gaining power. You will win.

The enemy is our addiction to nicotine.

You repeatedly promote nicotine gum, not as a tool to help you quit nicotine but, as a lifestyle. This is sad and unhelpful to people honestly dealing with nicotine addiction. There is no wrong way to quit smoking and quit nicotine.

Make NO mistake ! Your cravings WILL be there for the rest of your life until you deal with your nicotine addiction. You obey your addiction and perpetuate your slavery. For you to be a proponent of maintaining nicotine addiction is abhorrent and the antithesis of what QTrain is all about.

I have a jar of vegemite and a jar of marmite. I slather at will ! i was so sad when the quacks took your vegemite away from you.

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

Stay close to the board and voice any issues you are having. You are doing great.

lol, I bet you are OK with the yeast in your beer !

Try nutritional yeast on your popcorn, it has a parmesean-y sort of flavor and is salty. Super packed with B vits.

What happy news, Parsley !

Congratulations, Dutchess on your Two Years of Freedom. What a wonderful accomplishment.

Congratulations, Kdad on your Six Months of Freedom ! Be prepared for errant, random triggers and craves as you go through your first successful year. You are winning.

You are doing great work, D ! Keep your focus. You quit smoking. Reward yourself. You will find that certain craves actually have nothing to do with smoking, they are signals from your body that you are Hungry, Angry (emotional), Lonesome (bored), or Tired. H.A.L.T. These bodily needs were gangstered by nicotine and we often just lit up instead of acknowledging them. Here are two threads that address this. Riffing on H.A.L.T and HALT
