i've started getting into mate by accident recently because they were out of cold brewed coffee; something about it is dramatically more effective at making me productive and the thought of coupling it with a cigarette nicotine buzz feels like overkill to me.

but now that i know that's a thing, i'll probably end up doing it. lol

I quit smoking in 2012 but I never really got a nicotine buzz it was more relaxing for me to smoke than anything. Maybe it just cured nicotine withdrawl. I had smoked from 1998 - 2012 and quit cold turkey and lost my mind for a bit.

The buzz I got during work was when we'd smoke spliffs haha

i use cigarettes and mate to give me a buzz based energy boost when desired, but for you they do the opposite; the human body can be so strange sometimes. lol
