How did you use nicotine? The addiction/tolerance potential is proportional to how quickly it gets in your brain. Smoked/inhaled nicotine takes 7 seconds, a patch takes about 4 hours to reach peak blood concentration.

Also I do not recommend tobacco, which is much more than nicotine.

Very good point. And that goes for amphetamine also (snorted vs ingested).

I used nicotine lozenges as they were big on longecity forum at one point and I had experience with them from quitting tobacco.

So a lot faster than the patch. You can feel it like seconds after resting it inside your lip.
