Nicotine pouches

[amps]

I've thought I was done with smoking cigarettes so many times yet they have always found a way back into my life. I can be mindful of how destructive they are and really to me there is nothing that makes you feel worse than smoking half a pack daily, yet years go by and I keep coming back to them.

I vaped for a while, but that seems dodgy too. It feels a lot cleaner than cigs, but it still makes you cough and I just don't think it would be very smart to vape in the long run.

I know of many people who got hooked on nicotine at a young age and then at some point dropped cigs to use snus instead. I think it is better because it doesn't fuck with your lungs and it also nice to not smell of cigarettes or cause other people to suffer from second hand smoke. Yet it is still tobacco and you end up swallowing it, it is causing cancer and is notorious for destroying your gums.

Recently I started experimenting with "nicotine pouches", to kick off the smoking habit that creeped its way back into my life during a major ego backlash. It seems as though they can too cause problems with your gums, but you can pick a brand/flavour that doesn't "drill" into your gums the same way snus does. The ingredient list on the brand I'm using atm is "Cellulose, Water, Glycerol, Nicotine, Peppermint oil, Baking soda, Natural aromas".

It is pretty hard to find information on this line of products as of right now. I guess not much research has been done it yet. To me it seems like the absolute cleanest way to use nicotine. I don't crave cigs at all when I'm using these and they are very enjoyable to me. 

Am I missing something? It seems like one of those too good to be true scenarios. Does anyone here have any insight into these products and is there serious health risks with them besides potential gum damage and whatever issues there may be with nicotine usage in general?

From the statistics I have seen, vaping has been the best tool for quitting. I think in part it is because it is close to giving a similar sensation while using it. Where a pouch is not really going to be that comparable. 

I was addicted to vaping for probably about 5 years. It wasn't too bad to quit doing it. It was pretty difficult for a month or so, but it was bearable. For me I had just reached a place where it made no sense to do it anymore. I was doing a lot of other things right with my health and I was jogging a lot. I replaced it with jogging, meditation, reading, etc.
