I was able to quit nicotine cold turkey after 9 years of consistent usage, purely out of spite because they got rid of my favorite flavor of pouch, AMA.

30M, alternated between vaping and Copenhagen long cut from about 2016 to 2021. Switched to Velo Dragon Fruit 7mg from 2021 up until 3 weeks ago. The replacement flavor of the 6mg pouches was disgusting to me and the paper used destroyed my gums. Before, I never had any issue with the material used for the 7mg pouches.

I was so annoyed that what I liked was being discontinued, I thought "fuck'em, they didn't need my business. I don't even like any of the other ones anyway".

The first few days, when the headaches were present, I would pass by the gas station near my place and think "fuck'em, I'm not inconveniencing myself, getting caught in more traffic, to buy something I don't even like because it's a shitty replacement for what I actually want."

I would say my patience and temper are finally mellowing back out, but I can thankfully say I no longer have any desire or drive to get any. I even went out for drinks this past weekend, had a good time, and didn't even think about nicotine.

TL:DR : company changes their nicotine pouch product and it pissed me off so much I ended up quitting.

Ask me anything!
