Sleep as much as you need to. On those days when you’re thinking about going back to smoking and the thought won’t leave your mind instead of going to the store and buying cigarettes just take a nap for an hour or two. That’s what’s worked for me at least.

[@Ryan-jx4vh]

Exactly what I had to do. Vaped off an on for 6 months. Then switched to Zyn for 2-3 months. Then I quit. Never messing with nicotine again. The risk of stroke is very real, not worth it. 💯

[@Anonymous-we6ec]

Thanking you always Dr Frank

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

Very helpful advice! Watch out for side effects of nicotine withdrawal like, constipation, cravings, anxiety, fatigue, cough, anger, brain fog, irritation, headaches, insomnia. Don't freak out guys! You're not going to have all these symptoms. All depends if you were a heavy or a moderate smoker. Distraction and chewing gum helps. Good luck to all who struggle with quitting!👋❤🙏 .

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

We all know the damage smoking does to your health and the benefits after quitting. But be prepared for the cravings, the relapse and the mental stress. You don't want to fix one issue and create a new one! Especially for the heavy smokers, try to reduce it first and then try to quit. Best wishes and stay strong! ❤

[@CountryLiving5]

I just threw my vapes away 2 minutes ago I’m done. I’ve tried to quit many times but this time I’m done. Wish me luck I will be updating week by week.

[@Hepmaster]

True I’d went cold turkey couple weeks back, once insomnia wore off I could barely get bed in morning tired all time. Felt really depressed around day 9/10, smoked little pot take edge off then straight back to smoking cigs. Rather than beating myself up am feeling positive on what I achieved longest I’ve not smoked in 22 years am itching give it another go, but giving myself 1month weed free before try’s again.

[@tonydelmuro3939]

Currenly 13 days since i quit vaping nicotine it wasnt that hard for me except for the first week were i couldnt sleep, after that everything has went off smooth. I think what has helped me alot is that I already eat pretty healthy and tend to do long miles on my bicycle 2 or 3 days per week (around 22-27miles) and of course your videos Dr. Frank were the ones that motivated me to quit nicotine overall I used to think that because i was vaping it was way safer but i do see now why i wasnt that motivated back then now my energy levels and motivation are steadily spiking.

I'm 41 and I have quit nicotine a lot of times. Been smoking, chewing, vaping, all that since I was 12. The best method I've come up with is to use nicotine lozenges for a couple weeks then use the nicotine patches step 1,2,3, two weeks each step. I've found this way to have the least amount of withdrawal. It also helps with the psychological aspect of quitting which I believe is the real problem. I was recently off nicotine for 10 months and then thought it would be a good idea to start again. I quickly regretted starting and after a month I quit again. Now after using my drawn out quitting method i'm nicotine free with no withdrawal for 5 days.
