I Want To Stop Smoking & Start Vaping...

[OldBatty]

I tried it all, ... ear tags ...

I'll bite, is this real? Honestly have never heard of ear tags as an aid to quit smoking. Too tired to even think of how to search for this.

And yes patches suck! You still crave cigarettes, but can refrain from clawing your eyes out while simultaneously murdering your loved ones with an axe while craving a cigarette. So I guess they served a useful purpose before vaping was perfected.

Wow, thanks for all your valuable replies, advises and encouragement.

Over here a pack of cigarettes can cost from USD$10 to USD$11.

I am a 1.5 packs per day smoker, so a week is about USD$105.

I though the price of cigarettes in Singapore is outrageous till I Shai74 replied her cost in AUS$250 that is even crazier.

$25 to $30 a pack here. My packets of 25 were costing about $26 each.

Yeah, my friend bought it from states and it's like a magnetic earring of sort where you tagged it to some part of your ear that stop your smoking craving.... It is all gimmicky and BS... In the end I use those tags as fridge magnets!

And I thought taxation and duties rates for cigarettes in Singapore are too much!!!

I was only a smoker for a few years, but good luck to you! Still vaping?

Ear tags...

Where are you that vaping is banned? I'll testify to vaping as a means of quitting, either stepping down to nothing at all or as a replacement - it works either way. I've been at it for 4 years, admittedly I have relapsed several times but I still find value in the overall harm reduction, and on this go I'm at 5 months now since my last cig

Vaping devices is banned in Singapore, carries a penalty of SGD$500.00 for vaping, SGD$5000 for owning one and SGD$10,000 for selling/importing it.

Apart from this, you might find this ridiculous, chewing gums is also banned in this country. People here smuggle chewing gums across border like smuggling drugs.
