It's permanent too. As someone who managed to quit smoking cigarettes & vapes which wasn't too hard for me personally, I still get withdrawal jitters if someone smokes or vapes around me.
Even just this post mentioning nicotine made me feel the urge go get a pack of smokes.
Once you're addicted, it's extremely hard to not relapse.

You're telling me. I had finally weened myself down and hadn't had any in months then the pandemic hit and the stress got to me and I caved.

And now the regulations have changed where I am making it way harder to get your own juice and mix your own nicotine strengths to taper down. They claim they wanted to stop kids but all they really did was take power away from the adults who were already hooked. And the teens are still easily acquiring their strong disposables so nothing good actually came from it.
