Vaping is how I quit smoking cigarettes. I was also much more addicted to vapes than I ever was to cigarettes, but at least I didn’t cough as much. Now I use nicotine pouches. The day all this shit is illegal is going to be a good day for human health.
I did the cig-vape-pouch thing. When I started vaping (when it was still believed innocuous) I noticed I breathed the same or worse than smoking, and my nicotine intake rose, because I coud just chug on the thing continuously. I then went to pouches. That actually helped. It did send my heart racing, but no smoke/vapor/smell. I quit a few months back. Allen Carr’s book helped.
I had such a nasty smokers cough and spit up such nasty brown shit all day, especially in the morning, when I smoked cigarettes. I vape now, and I definitely still feel like it’s harming my lungs, no question about that, but instead of being out of breath all the time, I only get out of breath when I’m actively vaping, and I don’t cough so loud I wake up people two houses down anymore. Quitting vaping is definitely hard though, nicotine intake is instant and higher because there’s no built in “quit” like when you finish a cigarette.
