I have never smoked, but I use nicotine gum occasionally. It feels like it gives me a slight “edge” when I need to concentrate better, and I definitely feel more of an effect than with typical caffeine doses (which I don’t consume regularly either). I tend to chew the gums longer than regular chewing gums, but I feel no particular desire for them when, and actually tend to forget I have them.
