solved my throat and chest hit addiction. Best alternative for weak knee folks who can't phathom the thought of cold turkey. Those who cold turkey in my book are true warriors, I could have never done it that way. I also am stunned at the results and I seriously mean that. so a direct answer to the question is satisfies cravings and mimmicks old habit that we are familiar with.
Best Regards

There isn't just one for me. Several are equally important. Thus I can't play :-).

More choices needed for me too. Of course, getting the cravings solved is a pre-requisite. But if I would choose that, as most would, there is no room anymore to choose 'flavors'... and that opens the road to outsiders from government reading here to think 'Oh, our plan to take away all flavours from anything smoking- AND vaping-wise is not going to be met by protests' and thus strengthen their actually present plans for doing this.

So for political reasons only I guess I would have to choose flavors if I only get one choice... (but that choice is a wrong one of course - just I am totally certain that flavours are very important, also psychologically, so government taking those away will have serious consequences - and will pull the successrate sharply toward the ridiculously small successrate of current NRT's... we don't want that...)

I voted for Nicotine, but in reality it is a combination of a number of items on your list. I think it is too dificult to narrow it to just one.........

So had to go for "other" as it is all the things put together that does it for me.

Can't choose either, but intrigued to notice no difference when using zero nic for some hours yesterday. Gonna build a few hours like that into every day for curiosity's sake.

I chose Vapor but it hasn't kept me *completely* away from analogs (so far)

BUT, I went from 3 pks/day analogs to 1/2 pk/day and vaping the rest of the time

This makes me happy

from a pack and half to 9mg and shooting for 0 nic everyone is right analogs taste like crap after vaping for 4 days, my cardiologist will be delighted when i go to 0 nic the vaper is going to be a literal life saver for me.. 1 heart attack 1 one stent and 1 pacemaker i refuse to have cigarettes take my life..

The satisfaction of cravings using e-cigs has kept me completely away from analogs for over seven weeks now. This after 50 years with a 2 pack a day habit. I am amazed that I have no desire or even curiosity to smoke a tobacco cigarette now. Amazed and grateful, I should say.

The rising cost of tobacco cigarettes finally gave me enough resolve to quit the suckers, and I lasted two weeks without a smoke before my addiction kicked my resolve's *ss. Fortunately, a friend let me try his new e-cig before I had a chance to purchase another pack of analogs.
