I've given up vaping. Lets see how far I get

So far I’ve been off it for ½ a day.

I’m experiencing severe withdrawals already. It’s just the same as giving up cigarettes from what I remember.

I have nicotine lozenges in case I need them.

I keep you guys posted…

Keep it up. I never thought I could quit but I did and I smoked cigs then vaped which made it easier to quit. vaped about 5 years decreasing the nicotine levels gradually.

We just decided to quit nicotine same day… @everhopeful

Today I smoked 5 cigs (I promised myself not to smoke more than 8), but I don’t see the point of smoking anymore…

Let’s see if we make it.

Btw I have heard the comparison between this and removing a bandaid fast or slow :sweat_smile:

Into day 2 now.

I had a nicotine lozenge instead of my morning vape.

The withdrawal is pretty intense.

It looks like giving up vaping is no different to giving up cigarettes, physically.

Psychologically it does seem a bit easier for some reason.

All the best in your endeavour mate. Quitting nicotine is a big, big deal.

When I quit sub ohm vaping I would mimic the slow deep straight to lung breaths I did. I found these breathing exercises helped

Day 3. I had a nicotine lozenge instead of my morning vape again.

I can confirm that this is just as bad as giving up cigarettes from a physical withdrawal point of view.

But psychologically it’s definitely easier for some strange reason. So that definitely helps.

psychologically nicotine was harder for me to give up than ciagrettes. i can justify the dangers of cigarettes much more than nicotine pouches, vapes…stuff like that. and i hate the way cigarettes taste. im starting to wonder if nicotine supplementation is more addicting. i quit smoking before and stayed away for a couple years. i havent been able to quit nicotine since i started using it…im gonna try in a few days tho.

the easiest way for me to quit was to wear a nicotine patch. and wear it until all the cravings are gone. then lower the dose of it and repeat.

How is it going @everhopeful ?

I transitioned from 2 packs of ciggs a day to vaping 3 months ago.

Then I quit vaping about 2 weeks ago.

The worst withdrawal symptom is that I gained 10 pounds. Still, I feel like eating all the time, since there is nothing to do otherwise.
