I smoked for over 30 years and couldn't break the habit until I tried vaping in the early years of the technology. I slowly reduced the nicotine level in the e-liquid and quit completely within 18 months. It was easy and fun and cheap. Now I see vapes marketed to kids to get them addicted to nicotine and eventually onto cigarettes. I find it crazy and not a little tragic that a technology designed to get people off tobacco has been re-purposed by the tobacco industry to cause addiction.
I never smoked smoked, but for 10 years I daily smoked joints (tabacco and weed). I stopped about 15 years ago, but when I'm drunk a cigarette will still give me sort of a stoned feeling for a few minutes.
