Mix in some cannabis edibles, hallucinagenics and ecstacy pills to make a proper RNG lootbox.

    I think, I'd simply quadruple my gum intake.

    Do over. Like you slipped on a banana peel while bowling so you get a mulligan so that you can bowl properly

    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

    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.

    recurring events like weddings

    I think you got the concept of weddings wrong. It's "Till death do us part" and not "Until I crave a smoke".

    This is why everyone should mix coffee beans into their trail mix.

    So mix in a little gambling addiction?

    Seems like a skinner box to me. Like you'd simply pull more gum to increase the odds of getting a nicotine hit...

    I could see that it would synergize with the slow nicotine uptake of the mouth. Apparently the method you take drug depends on how addictive it is

    Hold up. That's how those gum containers with that flap are supposed to work?

    As someone currently trying to kick nicotine, that's a wonderful idea
