Tolerance Break to Cigarettes?

[Mackfather]

I did some research and couldn't find a real answer to this question anywhere. Is taking a tolerance break to cigarettes even possible and how long would you need to stop smoking? I am not asking about nicotine in general, but the whole combination of substances in cigarettes that give the smoker that buzz when you start. I'm sure its possible to reduce your tolerance some degree, but im guessing it would creep back up pretty fast. Anyone know from experience?

Im asking because I only smoke cigs socially and for the effect they have on me, which at this point is next to nothing. I have no desire to quit at this point, but I'm sure that I could take a long break if it meant a significant change in tolerance. For reference I have been smoking cigs for 5 months and at my highest I was a pack a day smoker.

You can quit for a little while and the first couple will give you something close to that old feeling of getting knocked over the head. But eventually its the same old thing and you're just smoking out of habit again. Tolerance builds rapidly in other words.

I'm a 12 year pack a day smoker and I'm only 27, I quit four times over the years (longest was a month). I'm here to tell you you should quit them while you're ahead. I didn't listen either and I know you probably won't but I just wanted to say it in case there was a slim chance you'd listen.

i'm 27 and smoke too, there's no way in hell you can stop anyone from smoking with words lol.

My recommendation: dohka - it will give you that same beautiful rush you once got from smoking cigs. Plus it's cool.

a few years ago i didn't smoke much and would sometimes do a tobacco bong hit for fun, that used to give me a decent rush 3-4 times a day, every day, but if i tried more than that, it wouldn't do much.

Other than that, you can purify nicotine from ecig liquid and gum it! probably not a great idea but probably not any worse than smoking cigarettes anyway. There's a thread from someone on here that did this and was extremely addicted to it.

there's no point in a tolerance break; as mentioned above, tolerance will come back rapidly. You can try dohka tho, that shit is so strong that it can make a regular smoker puke if they take too big of a hit If used occasionally i'm sure it'd do the trick.

Also, DXM significantly reduces nicotine tolerance while you're on it. I don't know if you enjoy tobacco that much to trip on DXM but it definitely reduces tolerance, not long term though.

Abstain from nicotine for a while (or get your use down to like once in the evenings), and you'll get the rush back. I don't time it when I do it, but it works. Cigs are pretty terrible for maintaining it given how often you gotta smoke the damn things. And yeah, you'll lose it again pretty quickly.

How have I never heard of this (or not remember it if I have), it sounds great.

Ill have to check that dohka stuff out. Weird that I've never heard of that before either.

About the DXM thing I never noticed much of a change. Ive never been past the 2nd plateau on dxm though. I notice a better effect combining tobacco with other substances, I feel like it mixes well with most stimulants, mdxx, and of course alcohol.

I quit with an ecig two years ago. Now I can get a crazy rush once a day if I choose a real cig. I've tapered down to 6mg/ml e liquid now though.

dohka is a middle eastern thing, i was amazed when i found out about it too... how could i have not run into it on my own?

my boss was from UAE and it's popular there so that's how i find out about it. And holy shit it creates a hell of a tobacco rush! There are plenty of places that import it the US/Canada. Definitely worth a shot for social use or even regular use, as you consume a lot less product to get the same buzz as a cigarette, meaning it's a tiny bit more healthy (possibly).
