Been wanting one for over 20 years (quit 24 years ago). I took up vaping this year and use the eJuice that is heavy with nicotine. Love it and have found it isn’t as addictive as cigs. Haven’t vaped for 3 days and not craving.

That craving shouldn’t last if it’s been 16 years. Did you quit cold turkey or gradually?

@PinCushion i quit cold turkey xxxxx

That’ might be why the craving. I quit gradually so when I finally quit, it was no big deal.

I quit cold turkey and I’ve had cravings for cigarettes every day for 24 years. Vaping makes them go away temporarily. The majority of ex-smokers I know all say the same thing. Cigs should be banned outright. They are worse than heroin in terms of addiction.

a lot of the time it is psychological, its the wanting it that is engrained in us psychologically deep down,

i dont know why i havent even had one craving since stopping 7 years ago,

i used the patch and it was like my fourth or fifth attempt but i was determined, i knew it was bad for me and i knew i would save so much money that it would be well worth it, i also worried about what they put in the cigarettes and i had an ulcer that played up every time i took a puff,

It is over 9 years for me since I last had a cigarette. Sometimes I would dream that I’m smoking again then I wake up very miserable and angry at myself. :grinning:.
I’m living with two smokers in the house but fortunately they only smoke outside the house.
Even after such a long time I still crave a cigarette.

So, every fifteen minutes!?!?!?

(Apologies, but I couldn’t pass that up and still look myself in the mirror in the morning. Congrats to you on quitting.)

I quit with the help of wellbutrin. That thing has something against nicotine I swear.
