Quitting cigarettes is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I started regularly smoking at 15, don’t ask how. I quit between 2014-2016, but relapsed really bad when my dad passed away during Trump’s first term-I was doing two packs per day, easily. I finally quit again in 2022, but I switched to vaping. I know, I know. Believe me, I know. I’m under no delusions that this won’t kill me one day but escaping addiction remains my weakest human trait.

I started around 16 and stopped 5 years ago. I never thought I would quit it cuz I'm not that strong willed and I tried so many times. Then I read that book and that was it. Never looked back and didn't crave it for a second

don’t beat yourself up, non-smokers truly have no clue just how hard quitting is. be kind to yourself and take one day at a time.

I used an e-cigarette as a cessation aid and even though I didn't continue with vaping nicotine (just weed), i could physically feel a marked difference when i switched from smoke to vape. vaping might be terrible, but i don't think it's as terrible as smoking, just from my experience and how both made me feel

I quit and started again 3 times, vaping really helped weaned me off. If nothing else, it made the taste of cigarettes much less appealing. Quiting cigarettes is definitely the hardest thing I've ever done, so please give yourself grace 🤗

I don't smoke and never will, but I wanted to say it's amazing that you quit, and it's understandable why you picked it up again. I'm sorry to hear you lost your dad. ♥

I hope you're able to quit vaping, but don't beat yourself up over it. Addiction sounds really hard to beat. I'm rooting for you.

I never smoked but my dad was, and the first time he was hospitalized for cancer, he was smoking in the bathroom, so I am in awe of your strength which I think moving into vaping still takes a lot of, so sincerely, kudos to you.
