Started at 24, now at 18 (almost by accident), and I intend on progressively reducing the strength from now on because of the fear that "big brother" is going to mess up the industry and make getting the hardware too difficult to allow me to keep off the analogues. I'll keep on reducing the nic. strength to zero and try to wean myself of the tactile addiction before my hardware stash fails me.
I just so desperately do not want to fall back into the traditional tobacco temptation EVER again.
If the ASH-nazi and the government schmoes weren't so intent on screwing this thing up, I don't think that this would be my mindset, but I'm forced to plan for the eventuality that "this too shall end" , so instead of finding a comfort zone and using this as a smoking alternative, I will be mis-using the product as an NRT and hoping that I will have succeeded with quitting before the hammer drops.
