So even people who are smoking weed are not typically smoking nearly enough to get there. Now, when you get into nicotine replacement products, you want to always be able to differentiate them into with and without tobacco.

So if a nicotine replacement product is derived from tobacco, like snooze, it still carries a ton of risk. Nowhere near as much risk as a cigarette. So cigarette is still the A plus risk. But if you're consuming snooze, you're still getting a lot of the carcinogenic risk. It's just going to be subject to your mouth as opposed to your lungs.

So when you want to get somebody off smoking, you want to create a real awareness of what they're doing. You want to understand. And so typically the first thing we'll have people do is just journal. When is it that you pick up a cigarette? What happened that made you want to pick up the cigarette? By the way, this will work for any habit, right?

If you're trying to understand why you're eating so much junk food. Let's just start with a few weeks of noting every time you go into the pantry for Pringles. What predisposed you to do that? Was there something stressful? Did you have a thought about something? Were you bored? Were you actually hungry? What created the urge?

Another one of the things you do is you start disconnecting the urge from the behavior. So let's say you're a smoker. We would say, hey, Sean, every time you feel this urge to go out and get a cigarette, I want you to not do it, but set an alarm for 15 minutes and then go out in 15 minutes. In other words, I'm not going to stop you from smoking.

I'm just going to uncouple the urge from when you do the thing. So that becomes important. Nicotine replacement is a very important part of smoking cessation. There are lots of ways to replace nicotine, right? You've got little patches, I mean, little pouches there. I've got my toothpick here. We've got patches, gum, all sorts of ways to go about doing it.

Each of them has their pluses and minuses. I did a whole podcast on this. that gets into the itty-bitty nuances of this. But the bottom line is, nicotine replacement, very, very powerful tool, because nicotine, if derived from a clean source, like a synthetic nicotine, doesn't carry any of these cancer risks, at least We can be very confident that that's true.
