any piece of advice is welcome

P.S. Thanks to all the people that have taken their time to help me (and not just me, but others as well). It is much appreciated, and, from what I‘ve read, the „cold turkey“ method seems the most appealing to me. I‘ll quit smoking today, on the 7th of November 2024.

    Get a quality vape device. Start with 18mg tobacco flavored vape. Try to always vape instead of smoke, but don’t beat yourself up if you smoke. Just keep doing it. Eventually you’ll notice that you’re vaping more than smoking, and some time after that you’ll realize that you haven’t smoked in days. At that point you’re basically free. Throw your smokes away and keep vaping for a month or two or three. Then reduce your nicotine concentration to 12mg and keep vaping. Then reduce it to 6, then 3, then 0 mixed with 3, then just 0. You’ll naturally quit within a couple weeks after switching to 0. You might want to switch off a tobacco flavor at some point during the process.

    I didn’t think I’d ever be able to quit smoking. I wanted to, and needed to, but I couldn’t. I tried all of the other cessation methods and none of them worked long term. I tried the above and it fucking worked! The best part is that it wasn’t hard. It all happened pretty naturally.

    It’s important that you get a good vape device that gives good throat hit and feels like a cigarette. Don’t get a massive cloud machine, and don’t get a rinky dink disposable device. Try to get one with a round mouthpiece that is the same size as a cigarette.

    You can totally do this! If I can do it, then anyone can do it!
