Does anyone have a realistic technique for quitting vaping nicotine? I'm stuck and need help.
I smoked cigarettes from 18 to 27 years old, without pauses. One day I started to have a dry mouth and stopped producing saliva. I was so scared that I stopped it at once. I didn't smoke for a while, until in the pandemic I came back with (tied) tobacco. I was smoking in the window, and my arm was starting to fall asleep. Another scare, and I left it.
That's where the vapers appeared. First I used disposables (with 50 mg/ml of nicotine, or 5%). I was in denial, thinking that "it wasn't as bad as the cigarette." Then I switched to the refillables. I lowered the nicotine progressively: from 35, to 20, and now I'm at 12 mg/ml.
In these 2 and a half years I could only stop vaping for 1 month. The rest of the time I vaped daily. It is not an addiction that is noticeable as much as the cigarette (there is no smell, no cough, nor do you take your breath away), but it is the same or more difficult to quit.
The difference is that you can vape all day, at home, in bed, at work. And there is no "end" to the session. There is no butt. Just one more traw. And another one.
I feel like I'm ready to leave it, but I don't know how. Did someone manage to leave it and can share their technique or process?
Thank you for reading.
