Nicotine replacement therapy

2021-12-10 16:57:57
I am on NRT, having 5-6 gums everyday but I also meditate. Does nicotine in gums cancel out meditation effects? I don't feel my meditation sessions much effective these days. Additionally if not meditation can I still do breathing exercises for mental benefits?

No nicotine gum patch has no such side effects. Yes you can do breathing exercises. No issues with that
