If you are quitting smoking, quitting vaping, or quitting chewing tobacco, and you know what to expect over the next few days, weeks, and months, quitting becomes much much easier!

[@MatthewGagliano]

I smoked for 16 years. It got to the point where I would be smoking a cigarette and just planning for the one after that one. "maybe 30 minutes I'll have another." or "after this, I'm going to have dinner then I can have another one after that". It was mind boggling the torture I was putting myself through. I bought that book and had it on my table for about 6 months until I had my "fuck this, I'm quitting" moment and I sad down and read it while listening to an audiobook copy. Over the course of 3 days, I finished the book and had my last cigarette in May 2018.

[@AddictionMindset]

Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone!!!! Freeing yourself from those thoughts is crucial it’s legit freedom from something, such a good feeling

[@MatthewGagliano]

@@AddictionMindset Thank you, but unfortunately, I switched to vaping weed I'm here for my own personal demons I'm still facing. I was at the point where I was hitting 3 vape pens at a time to get the same "lung hurt" that cigarettes gave me. Sensation seeking at its finest. It's gone down but I still dab weed and I still have addiction problems to deal with. These videos are giving me the courage to look at my THC intake for what it is, an emotional crutch

[@myonlinecharacter]

Thank you for commenting on Jacob's video. You speak fondly of him, but to be honest, after checking his page I must say his content is targeted towards weak young people that are addicted and will continue being addicted because he seems to offer no leadership like yourself towards a smoke free lifestyle. Probably because he is still young and doesnt yet feel the full effect of smoking for decades. It will come. And if he is honest, his content will change drastically over the years.

[@HansyPants184]

The amount of times I've been working with non-nic addicts during a stressful time and I'll light up/vape hit and they'll say "I wish I had something to take the stress off." And the look on their face when I'd say "I inhale this crap to get up to your everyday normal, not to get more relaxed than you." The look is that of pure perplexity.

[@AddictionMindset]

Nicotine addicts like me use nicotine to feel like someone normal

[@collins9141]

I'm in the process of quitting. On the topic of the money spent, I have a story for those who want to read. I bought a mod that cost $75. After about a month of having it, it broke. I bought another one the next day without a second thought. Thats $150 right there that I gave away without a second thought besides the headrush I would get from the nicotine. Add in the cost of the juice and coils, thats a lot of money spent for something I thought was an important purchase. This is my third time trying to quit the habit, but I'm serious about it this time. I dont feel like I'm losing something this time. I feel like I'm gaining my life back. Completely different feeling this time from my previous tries at quitting.

I knew I was seriously addicted to vaping when I had no money and went 8 hours without one and a Co worker went out for a cigarette and I asked for one, despite me not touching and hating cigarettes for a year and only vaping. I'd never smoke a cigarette when I had a vape. But the moment I didn't have it I craved cigarettes so so bad which was such a strange experience to have when I had hated the smell, smoke and taste for so long, just completely thrown out the window when experiencing withdrawal.

It's actually a shame to see an attractive young woman literally destroying herself.

[@NexusBladeGaming]

You know it may be taboo to say, But although nicotine is addictive, And in the case of smoking also putting you at an elevated risk of death by several factors, Theres one thing many people don't like to grant. Everyone has a vice, Whether it be food/snacks which when indulged upon can make for weight gain, increased risk of heart attack and other health complications, video games which can consume a lot of time and money, dry eye and eye fatigue, Irregular sleep patterns etc, energy drinks/sodas both of which can get you hooked on caffeine which people seem to forget is an addictive drug too, the acidity and high sugar content means that in excess you run the risk of rotting teeth, gum disease, or worse, Drinking alcohol which although super culturally accepted and common is literal liver poison that in excess WILL kill you or leave you crippled, and it doesn't even take long. The amount of things we do that have risks seems insane until you ask one simple question... Why do we do things we know are risky? It's because it's fun, it's because people want to see what life has to offer and sometimes that means trading some safety for some fun, the reality being some would rather live an eventful life even if its shorter than a safer life. That's why we smoke/chew/vape nicotine, It's because it's more than us all being some poor kid who got tricked into trying it and then got addicted, There are also those that heard the risks, and decided to do it anyways by choice, and continue to do it because they enjoy it, and nicotine is only one part of why these activities are fun. Sure it's addictive, many things are, and that can be a problem, but if it's the right one for you, then I don't see the issue. But if you think it's ruining your life, then please quit for your own improved quality of life, and if you were coerced into it? This isn't to say keep doing it, Thats something you have to decide, if you wish to quit please do. In the end it's all about how someone weighs the pro's and con's of something, If you don't want to smoke or chew or vape then don't, if you do, do want you want.
