I quit vaping on October 29. I started smoking cigarettes when I was like 15, and eventually switched to vapes but then my throat got all swollen and hurt from the vape and it was like way way too much nicotine. terrible.

so I got nicotine lozenges and went on those for a few months and now I'm on patches going down. I'm doing it like really gently so I don't upset my mental health, but omg I'm so happy lol

I think I'll be off the patch in another month. I did this really slow because nicotine withdrawal gives me extremely severe depression.

anyways if anybody feels like quitting nicotine, you totally can, and I really recommend it :3

Congrats comrade! Quitting is no easy task, especially when you've engaged in the addiction for years

hell yeah, quitting is a huge pain in the ass but the patches really make it easier. that's how i went from 6 packs a day to quit for nearly a decade now

sincere congratulations homie, i hope it sticks!

Nice! I used to vape but was told to stop because my blood pressure became abnormally high for an 18 year old (how old I was when I quit)

I vape, but I only vape marijuana.

I used to do that but I switched to other methods cause it was too hard on my throat personally
