Vaping only made my nicotine addiction worse. I went from light cigarettes to vaping to back to cigarettes, this time smoking reds and dipping them in menthol so I could inhale more deeply and get a stronger buzz.

The gum worked, however. I tapered down from 4mg to 2mg, then half of a 2mg, then a quarter, then a nibble, and then I realized that I don't need nicotine anymore and quit for good. Now I just vape live resin.
