It didn’t take long to think of some healthier options, which I’ll share here in case others think the same:

- copy the m&m design (though I don’t like m&m’s)

- do the same thing with beef jerky/trail mix/hummus/steak/treats like that

- do the same thing, but use a good restaurant/coffee shop/board game/friend/TV show/hot tub/other experience

Nicotine is probably healthier than beef jerky or steak.

That seems to me like a remarkable claim — can you share a link that discusses this more?

Nicotine’s fine. The issue with smoking and chewing tobacco is the delivery system, particularly smoking. It’s a shame, because pipe tobacco tastes and smells absolutely divine. I think it’s still worth it, but understand how others disagree.

Actually, yes.
