Continue or quit?

[Jabba]

How many people have the ultimate goal of totally quitting their nicotine intake? This includes giving up vaping even if you vape 0mg. I'm talking about quitting the whole action/habit of smoking/vaping.


I'm fairly happy with just making the switch to vaping and plan to continue. I'm clearly addicted to nicotine and maybe I'll mess with that a bit with 0mg at a later date but for me I think the whole action of it is my true vice. I'm still amazed that there is a way to have this habit without all the negatives that go along with tobacco.

I for one am down to 4 to 11 mg nic. Depends on the lowest the vendor sells on flavors I like.

I do not intend to quit vaping. Not really concerned about getting to 0mg either. I enjoy the relaxation of the act!!!

I definitely plan to wean to 0 nic, because being addicted to something is not a great plan no matter how harmless it is. I'm not judging others who have no plans to get off nic, that's just my personal view. As for giving up vaping, I probably will want to eventually, but I am kinda figuring it out as I go.

I'm slowly dropping my nic level down but I have no intentions of stopping vaping. I went 4 days without nic and was fine. The only craving I had was for the yummy tastes. I could give it up if I had too but I don't want too.

Hard to say for me as well. Only being into it for a couple of months, I'm happy to get my nicotine without all the other crap and I'm no longer ashamed of my use of it. And I've learned a LOT about nicotine while checking this whole vaping thing out!

I have to say that I actually respect nicotine now for what it does, both good and bad. Will I try to taper down? Probably. I don't think I really need as much as I've been used to, and I don't think the hand-to-mouth thing is quite as big a deal for me as the nicotine effects are though. Previously I hadn't consciously realized that nicotine had a 'dual effect' as both a relaxant and stimulant depending on ingestion speed. Since I read that and thought about it, a lot of my use makes much more sense to me and I'm trying to recognize when I use it in which 'mode'.

Right now, I enjoy the flavors and want the nic so my plans are open-ended.

Initially i started vaping as a healthier alternative to smoking and to see how it goes. After a period of only a couple of weeks
i now realise i love vaping and am totally addicted, i'm glad i made the switch tho and vaping will now be ongoing with no intention to lower my nic intake (currently about 2ml @ 18mg a day).
