I used to love that smell when I'd just come in from having a cigarette outside and my fingers smelt like fresh smoke. I thought it smelt pretty good. Now I can smell the smokers when they walk into the room from outside and they don't smell good at all. They stink.

The nicotine gum is kinda metallic tasting. Kinda... Slightly reminiscent of... A dirty ashtray. Associations or... Is that actually kinds what nicotine actually tastes like???

If you chew the gum up good and park it your mouth fairly burns all peppery nicotine. Then things get this weird thing that happens to me when I've drunk too much coffee / had too many cigarettes / need to lay off methamphetamine: Things start looking outlined in black - kinda like a cartoon. The world starts to turn into black lines and segments of colour. Odd... Hard to explain. There is nicotine in the gum... And the nicotine is... Surely good. I do like nicotine. Never planning on giving that up...
