after 15 years of trying to quit (smoked 22 years) I knew I was going to die from smoking with a cigarette in my mouth, I loved smoking, one night it almost killed me, tried quitting a few more times after that then I found vaping, I quit smoking overnight and now I will die with a vape in my hand..Smokers usually are self medicating. Sometimes I wonder if some of us hard core smokers, who couldn't be successful in quitting, weren't just basically self medicating and might just be why some of us weren't able to quit....
