Exclamation Immunosupressant and Anti-inflammatory

There have been many studies that show the use of nicotine in many conditions with chronic inflammation and Auto-Immune diseases such as Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis. Researchers are now looking in to putting Nicotine into some medicines to help relieve symptoms. Many articles and studies can be found using Google and just searching Nicotine and Anti-Inflammatory.

I have Ulcerative Colitis and it's not fun, and I'm actually going to try and use an ecig to deliver the nicotine and hopefully get good results.

Just wanted to let you guys know just in case you have someone you know with a condition that might be helped by nicotine.

Unfortunately, I doubt you will get enough nicotine to help your UC through vaping. This delivery of nicotine is not going to give you what you probably need.

Yes I do. I was a smoker. Everytime I quit smoking for a few months, I'd get a flare up. I have been vaping since September, and apparently 2-3 ml of 24 mg is not enough to help me.
