    I quit by vaping off of cigarettes, and then gradually reducing the nicotine in vape juice until I was vaping 0 nicotine for a couple of months, then stopped altogether. Been nicotine free for several years now, and no cravings.

        Meanwhile idiots like me ended up vaping all day long and when I went back to cigarettes my tolerance was through the roof and I smoked more than I ever did.

          There’s still hope. I still chain vape, but the amount of nicotine I use is but a whisper. It’s entirely a routine at this point. I’m figuring out positive actions I can do whenever I feel the need to suck on my robot dick.

            Asexual non smoker here. I have bad news for you:

            The urge of sucking robot dick is truly universal and inevitable.

              I’m hoping we make First Contact soon so I can make a healthy transition from Robot Dick to Alien Dick.

              Sorry, that’s insensitive.

          Gotta taper the nicotine down, even if you vape like a chimney out of habit, that way when you do try a cigarette again the nicotine is overpowering and gross

            True! I was out of my element last year and ran out of juice due to poor planning. Resorted to sharing a smoke and felt like garbage for the next two days.

            I do still miss the smell, though. Probably just nostalgia from feeling like a Cool Guy for the first time in my life choking down a Camel unfiltered behind the 7-11.
