What creators think

Joe Rogan recommends nicotine pouches, saying they keep his mind "popping" during podcasts and describing them as a cognitive enhancer. Huberman pushes back directly, arguing that daily nicotine use blunts the dopamine system and that any cognitive benefit only holds if use is occasional — making frequency a real variable, not a detail. Hudson and Hormozi mention nicotine in passing without weighing in on whether it works.

"Some people are using nicotine. Yes, it's addictive. It raises blood pressure, but it does put people into that focused but relaxed mode. I always say if you really want the benefits of nicotine, don't use it very often."

"If you're thinking about using nicotine, folks, if you use nicotine every day, you actually blunt the system. You reset the threshold. This is why it's technically only a cognitive enhancer if used every once in a while."

"I'm going to try to stop because last night I couldn't get to sleep. I was sitting in the green room and I just kept chewing on them, and then I chewed on one on the way home, and then I got home and popped another one in. Each one of them is 6 mi..."
