'I went to Afghanistan in 2 mins!' Kenyans narrate near death experiences after using Lyft nicotine pouch ¶
Lyft nicotine pouch has become a popular choice among Kenyans, especially among those aged 18-55, since its introduction in the Kenyan market.
However, users have reported a range of side effects, from intense physical reactions to near-death experiences.
One Twitter user, Mwende Ngao, shared her experience after using Lyft, inviting others to share their stories.
She tweeted, 'So I tried that LYFT nicotine pouch yesterday at Cocktail Fest. Guys!!! Yaani you go from 0 to 100 in 5 minutes. I was shook!'
Many users shared their experiences, with some reporting feeling like they were in a different country after using Lyft.
One user, hassanoh_says, joked that they went to Afghanistan for two minutes, while another, swankysuzan, simply stated that Lyft is 'bae.'
However, not all users had positive experiences. Some reported feeling nauseous, dizzy, or even throwing up.
One user, rosemartins161, shared a particularly harrowing experience, stating that they felt like they were 'dead' after using Lyft.
Despite the risks, some users reported that Lyft had helped them quit smoking.
One user, mahugu_, stated that they had tried to quit smoking but found it difficult until they met Lyft.
They added that the 'tingling sensation' in their mouth while the nicotine was kicking in was 'awesome.'
However, others warned against the dangers of nicotine pouches, with one user, bosset.gee, stating that it was the 'shitiest of them all.'
