I used vaping to quit smoking, so what do I use to quit vaping.....?

[vexxis]

I started vaping because I figured out the reason I couldn't quit smoking is because I enjoyed it so much and really didn't want to so I started vaping with no intention to quit. Now I enjoy vaping as much or more than smoking (probably a lot more because I feel better and know I'm not harming myself like I was). Yes, I still like some nicotine in my vape even though I have been dialing it back from time to time but I really have no interest in quitting vaping until someone can tell me why I should (and they best have a good reason)

It is up to you when you quit vaping. Maybe one day you just will.

As for nicotine being used for Alhzheimers it is experimental only. Having 2 family members go through it is horrible. Both of them smoked. One is now dead and the other who smoked 40 years is taking 30 + pills a day. None of them help either.


Maybe the vapor of nicotine is effective. I wouldn't use that as excuse to vape.

I should have said that it was experimental and I don't really use it as an excuse to vape. My wife tells me I'm much easier to live with when I get my nicotine, that's my real excuse. My real reason is because I want to.

Sorry to hear about your family members, I certainly didn't mean any disrespect.

As others have sad just drop your nic level! The benefit of vaping is you can verily slowly drop your level and consumption if you so wish!

I enjoyed Vaping for most of my first year. Then all the FDA crap started and that was a Red Flag that I need to know I'll never revert.
I went to DIY and started reducing my Nic gradually over the past year. This weekend I mixed several new and favorite flavors at 1mg Nic. I've been at 3mg for a little over a months.
It seems at this low a level, the Brain has started returning to ab.......err normal and I may be able to drop the nic all together very soon.

From there it is Vape like Desert - as the urge to enjoy hits.

I only vape to keep from smoking. I chew nic gum when I can't vape. When you don't need a crutch is when you truly are free of smoking or nicotine. I have used 24% nic juice for over 2 years now. The thought of going lower makes me nervous. Just as the thought of not having the gum, when I can't vape, makes me nervous. I do enjoy vaping because it is so less harmful than smoking. But, in the end, it is just the nic. I may try lowering my nic when I get my vv/vw and use a really good RTA. They say the nic is too strong when you have a really good set-up and one can get overdose symptoms. Like the hiccups I get when I chew two or three pieces of gum at a time. I know either the gum OR vaping is harm reduction but in the end.......it IS an addiction, just like smoking or drinking. Maybe, we need a NIC anon, like alanon? I enjoy vaping, don't get me wrong, but, neither do I fool myself, I am an addict. BTW, just as vaping has saved me TONS of money, so does the gum, when I order it from New Zealand. Good luck to all who have quit whatever is their bad habit.

I don't have an interest in quitting vaping, but everybody has to make that decision for themselves.

At least it's easier than quitting real cigs if someone wants to go that route.
