Kava Enthusiast
Some background info : I quit smoking and chewing tobacco over a year and a half ago, but still use spitless snus pouches. I go through about two cans a week. Since I quit dipping and switched to snus, my gums have returned to completely normal looking. I seriously think snus is a lifesaver.
Okay, when I drink kava, I have ZERO desire to use nicotine. I'm wondering how much of this is because of having an empty stomach. When I smoked, if I was starving, I had very little desire to smoke. Conversely, after I ate, I had a strong desire for nicotine. When I have kava, I tend to fast for the second half of the day, so the empty stomach might have something to do with lack of nicotine desire.
Secondly, I tend to use nicotine in times of stress, and kava tends to turn my reactionary process to "chill mode ."
Finally, could it actually be? That kava is somehow calming my nicotine receptor sites, or is it a mixture of everything previously mentioned? Does anyone else notice this phenomenon, or is just me? I seriously think Steve and his kava candy could be the final puzzle piece for me to quit.
