Interesting- Covid Long Haulers saying nicotine patches helpin them

It’s more about inhaling nicotine and the toxic chemicals and pesticides on the nicotine which are horrible.

Now - even Yale University is studying nicotine patches for help in LongCovid.

Seems like we have nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and nicotine can sometimes improve how they work. Who knew?

Many who never smoked are using nicotine patches for depression as it ups dopamine.

I bought some to try - I’m not depressed but could be happier.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
