    Vaping works wonders because with custom mixed juice you can dial back the nicotine content to barely anything over time, then eventually to 0. In the meantime you just keep using it the same way.

    Having done this myself, you’d be amazed how quickly you start going “WTF am I doing this for?” after that final step to 0.

    There seems to have been a coordinated attempt to stomp out the idea of vaping as a smoking cessation tool, but given how relatively cheap and easy it can be, it’s hard for me not to pull out my tinfoil hat when I wonder why that was.

    I tried cold turkey, gum, patches, wellbutrin, and probably other methods I’ve forgotten about over decades. With vaping it was a no brainer.

    Not saying these other methods may not also work but I feel like technology has handed us the obvious solution, and while many ex-smokers have figured it out, seemingly no one else has.
