I quit roll-ups years ago. Would hate to get that addiction back. Or is that just with smoking?

They make it sound like some kind of wonder drug. Here, 30 - 21 mg Nicotine patches (24 hour ea) for less than $20.

Cognitive Enhancements:

Improved Attention and Alertness:
Nicotine can increase levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, which are involved in attention, focus, and alertness.

Enhanced Memory:
Some studies indicate that nicotine can improve memory function, particularly in healthy individuals.

Fine Motor Skills:
Nicotine has been shown to improve aspects of fine motor skills.

Potential for Cognitive Improvement in Certain Conditions:
Research suggests that nicotine may have a beneficial effect on cognitive impairment in conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and hypothyroidism.

Brain fog:
Nicotine may help with "brain fog" a common complaint among long COVID patients, by enhancing levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.

On an unrelated note, nicotinamide mononucleotide massively increases NAD+ in the body. NAD+ is produced naturally by the body and serves to support mitochondrial function and cellular repair. As you age, your body produces less of it, which results in two of the seven core causes of aging and biological death itself.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide seems to be a life extender.

Where do you get it? Is that something you're buying a pill form or is it a derivative of nicotine?

It’s technically nicotine derived, sure. But just like you can’t smoke weed and magically cure anything, you can’t smoke cigarettes and cure anything but life.

NMN is available as pills. Several “health supplement” brands carry it, but you want to make sure the capsules are as pure as possible. Just NMN in them and then the casing needs to be not fucking poison, too. You’d be surprised...

Any suggested suppliers?

If you get them, just make sure the casing is pure gelatin (like these) and then otherwise go for the best price.
