Keeping healthy by holding cigarettes in your mouth? Is the "gum-sustaining technique" of contemporary youth scientific or metaphysical?
Contemporary young people soak wolfberries in a thermos cup in their left hand and hold cigarettes in their right hand to plug their gums -
The ultimate secret of "punk health care" is probably to save yourself while committing suicide.
Today, let's talk about this "health artifact" that makes Nordic tough guys addicted and makes workplace social phobia ecstatic - snus.
Is it a "healthy alternative" or "nicotine's new skin"?
Chapter 1 Is the "health personality" of nicotine pouch reliable?
Rumors:
"No harm to the lungs, no secondhand smoke, refreshing, and can protect teeth!" (a brand slogan)
"The secret of Nordic people's longevity! Swedish tough men all use nicotine pouch to prolong their lives!" (a purchasing copy)
Scientific cold water:
- Smoke-free ≠ non-toxic:
Nicotine pouch is just not burned, but nicotine is still online, directly "kidnapping" your brain through the oral mucosa.
Translation: From "burning lungs" to "pickle gums", the addiction is still there, just changing the department to work.
- Metaphysics of tooth care: Although it does not involve fumigation, long-term use may result in "nicotine-limited skin" - gum atrophy, tooth staining, and a "I've made it through the night" filter when smiling.
- Secret to longevity?
It is true that the Swedes live longer, but they also love to exercise, take fish oil, and live in forest cabins...
Conclusion: Don't let nicotine pouch take away the credit for the fresh air in Northern Europe!
Chapter 2 The "Health Economics" of Social Animals: Why do young people get addicted?
The magic selling point of nicotine pouch:
Hidden buff in the workplace:
Holding a cigarette in a meeting is like thinking, and putting a pack in it is like eating candy, but it is actually secretly fighting "PPT anxiety".
Boss: "Xiao Li is particularly focused today!"
The truth: "Xiao Li's gums are dancing in nicotine."
Social anti-embarrassment artifact:
When someone offers you a cigarette, you wave your hand: "I'm in good health", then take out a nicotine pouch, and instantly establish a "self-disciplined personality".
(Although you may run out of cigarettes in the middle of the night and squat in front of a convenience store to search your pockets)
Psychological placebo:
"At least it's healthier than smoking, right?" - A classic self-hypnosis sentence for contemporary youth, suitable for scenes such as staying up late, eating instant noodles, and drinking milk tea.
Chapter 3 Experts’ Dismantling: Health Care or Addiction?
Doctor’s Heart-breaking Quotes:
“Is nicotine pouch less harmful than cigarettes? The difference between jumping off a building from the 30th floor and the 20th floor, I suggest you don’t jump.”
“After becoming addicted to nicotine, your health care plan may become ‘how to secretly stock up at work’.”
Scientists’ Cold Data:
Long-term use of nicotine pouch significantly increases the risk of oral cancer and gum disease.
Nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure, forcing the heart to “work overtime 996 hours a day”.
Mom’s Soul-Strike:
“Health care? Can’t you just chew gum? Why do you have to spend money on the ‘pickled gum package’?”
Chapter 4 The Ultimate Truth: Health preservation is fake, anxiety is real
Why do young people believe in oral health preservation?
Work pressure: need "invisible nicotine" to prolong life, but can't be discovered by the boss.
Health anxiety: can't quit addiction, afraid of death, so choose "relatively less harmful" self-comfort.
Social personality: "I am using Nordic high-end products to maintain health" sounds more respectable than "I am addicted to smoking."
But the truth is:
Real health preservation is never about finding a "less harmful" addiction, but -
sleep well, eat on time, and stay away from the boss's late-night WeChat.
(Of course, the last one may require metaphysical power other than nicotine.)
Survival guide at the end of the article
If you must try "snuff health science":
1️⃣ Control the dosage: start with the low-nicotine version, although you may end up finishing a box.
2️⃣ Oral examination: visit the dentist regularly, after all, your gums bear everything for you.
3️⃣ Psychological construction: silently say "I am transitioning to quit smoking" instead of "I am keeping healthy".
Ending critical hit:
An anonymous user confessed:
"After two years of using snuff to 'keep healthy', I finally realized that true health is that your wallet is not emptied by nicotine and your gums do not bow to life."
(Friendly reminder: Want to reduce stress? Try to exchange the money you spend on snuff for milk tea, at least you can gain weight happily.)
