I went the other way, i stopped smoking and started vaping. I used a sub ohm vape with a low dose of nicotine 0.3-0.6 per 10ml bottles of oil.
I vaped loads to begin with, likely due to the low dose. but it was hard to get the time to get outside of the office to vape, and each time i only had a short time to do it. It got less frequent and less time per frequency of going out to the point that one day i went a whole day without realising i hadnt vaped or even thought about it.
I decided thqt day, after 17 years of smoking, and 1 year of vaping, that i didn't need it anymore. So i didnt take my vape to work the next day. And about 3 to 4 weeks later i threw it in the bin.
Never looked back.
I know I'm just a random person on the internet, but I'm super proud of you for this. Like, making that decision and turning a serendipitous situation into an active choice takes a strong sense of will. Congrats
Thankyou. I actually really appreciate it. I would say that for at least 8 of those years, i wanted to quit. A lot of people really dont realise how hard it is to stop. You want to stop with every fibre of your being. You want to stop on your way to buy a pack you want to stop as you ask for your brand. You want to stop as you hand over the money. You want to stop as you open the pack . You want to stop as you pull out a cigarette you want to stop as you put it in your mouth. You want to stop as you light it. You want to stop with every Toke. You want to stop as you do it again and again and again.
But i got there. Eventually.
I was a pack a day smoker, and a 2000 hit vape cart will last me almost a week.
I smoke a lot less. If I just wanted one drag of a cig I'd end up smoking all of it. Now I take one hit off my vape put it back and I'm good for a few hours.
It's interesting how vaping changes people's smoking habits. I've been experimenting with substituting nicotine gum for the vape here and there. Hoping my body will accept that after awhile and I can stop vaping, then quit the gum with regular gum. It seems like a bunch of extra steps, but it's working so far
Great achievement, congrats. Unfortunately the friends I mean are very intimate with all sorts of substances, and because all friends in that circle are like this, it's hard to escape without basically also quitting your friend group. It's one of the reasons I'm friendly with them but not actually part of the group.
I feel that. I didnt mention before but i also smoked weed for many of those years. I kicked that a few years before kicking tobacco
I barely see or even speak to anyone from that circle now. i both miss them and dont miss them. I found a lot of drug friends tend to be fairweather friends. Not all of them. Theres always a core few that stick with you when you cant get a bag but all have nothing to do. But the majority in my experience, you dont miss when they are gone.
