I quit by mixing my own vape juice and tapering down to 0% over the course of a year. Was painless and took zero willpower.
I switched to vaping as well, and when I switched from VUSE pods to nicotine free vape juice I didn't miss it at all. I'm still addicted to vaping, but in my case the actual nicotine was probably the smallest part of my addiction
Yes, the mental part of the addiction is real and powerful. I continued to vape 0% for another year until my mods broke.
Same, then I stopped completely. And I was back again after a few months because quitting nicotine is the first and easiest step
I did the same except I just started chewing smaller and smaller pieces of nicotine gum until one day I was taking such tiny nibbles that I thought to myself, "this is stupid", spit it out, and that was that. Been nicotine-free for 8 years now.
Didn’t you get post-a-few-months cravings? Not physical but mental ones. I swear my brain manipulates me, one time I even took a piece of paper and started weighting the pros and cons AND “I” FOUND MORE PROS???
Unfortunately I can't relate. Never had any issues with feeling the need to have something in my mouth or in my hands. But that's probably cause I was smoking (and then eventually vaping) weed for a lot longer than I was a tobacco smoker. So I guess the cannabis takes care of the oral fixation. I basically replaced cigarettes and Juuls with joints and live resin pens.
Yup, the habit and optics of “cool” can play with your head too.
Honestly I don’t really understand the “cool” thing, my problem was especially the habit, and the associations. Like I’d associate watching a great movie with nic, or even some recurring events like weddings for example. That’s what made me relapse too many times.
I think you got the concept of weddings wrong. It's "Till death do us part" and not "Until I crave a smoke".
I don’t mean my own weddings!!! But I had a laugh thank you
And it was an example to illustrate, in reality it’s other events but I’m not going to give every detail of my life on here
Sorry, but when I find a joke so well prepared for me, I just can't resist.
