Hi Billy, I was answering The Fishmonger.
He assumed that once a customer visits a shop, buys a pack of CHILLS and smokes them, that they will automatically come back every day to replenish their CBC fags. If your not addicted to fags in the first place ( its the nicotine that the body craves,) then you won't have that addicted feeling that you must pop in and pick a pack ( or in Fishmongers case 2 boxes) per day, to relive the distressful feeling. Non smokers will buy for recreational, or medical but not from addiction - so IMO will buy occasionally .
Most people don't realise but after a fag with nicotine, the nicotine decreases very quickly in the body and when addicted , creates a nervous, anxious feeling in the person that they need another fag to make the feel better and relaxed. The nicotine is very clever and is brain soluble, its one of the fastest active ingredients that can go from inhalation (lungs) into blood stream and into the brain in seconds, giving a calming feline ( in reality just topping up the nicotine so body not addicted for a short period) . Therefore a smoker thinks that smoking the fag , makes them feel relaxed, when in theory its just topping up the nicotine again, ..but the clever thing is the nicotine also tricks the brain so the smoker's sun conscious ( that's why some go to hypnotist) never associates that its the nicotine he is putting into his body, that will set of a chain of evets of anxiety , so that in half an hour later they are anxious, and craving another cigarette, which in turn leads to another fag and dose of nicotine, which taken they think relaxes them, buy then again it sets of another chain of events so that the smoker thinks that smoking relaxes them, but in reality ( because of the time lapse between enjoying the smoke an feeling relaxed, and then 30 mins later the feelings of anxiety because of nicotine withdrawal ) the sub conscious never works this connection out. = addiction.
However, smokers / ex smokers trying to quit are the best customers as because IF CBD does replace the nicotine ...then CHILLS will be massive, as they will buy ( two packs a day, to replace their usual brand ) .
The BIG QUESTION IS .....can CBD replace nicotine in fags, and if so will to what degree.
If i went out into Clapham on Friday night, lots of mates, lots of drinking, lots of smokers. If I only smoked CBD, and it did not "replace" the nicotine then it would not matter how many CBD fags i had, my body would be screaming for nicotine....and i would end up back on a nicotine vape or nicking others peeps fags.
Form what i have read its the feelings of calmness that CBD give via smokes that they hope will detract from the nicotine, but nicotine is a hard core addiction and so the jury is out.......don't forget that up until now the best solution has been "nicotine replacement therapy" , patches, vapes
Sorry to go on and hope it makes some sense.
