As a former smoker of 20 years and nearing 2 packs a day by the time I quit. Please do yourself a favor and try to quit. You will thank yourself.
Vaping got me off of cigarettes, it was the only thing that was going to be able to as I was hopelessly addicted. I always smoked regular cigarettes, but I found that I preferred menthol fruit flavors. The coolnes feeling made it feel more like a real cigarette.
I can get you off cigarettes in one to two week. All you need is a pen vape and a couple flavors of about .5 nic salt. Buy one pack of cigarettes.
First two days start vaping as much as possible whenever you have a cigarette cravig, but allow yourself a cigarette if you need one. After this try to skip one cigarette, by end of week you should still have a few cigarettes left. I kept two 9 years ago and I still have them in my truck dash kard. But seriously keep two on hand by end of week or second week. Keep them in vehicle house. I found that helped loosen my anxiety of not having cigarettes around physically. And now those two cigarettes are a memento that I won.
Bonus after a month or two of being strictly vaping. Quitting vaping cold turkey is much easier than normal cigarettes. I didn't even have a problem quitting cold turkey. The only issue I had remaining is the physical mouth throat hit. So I got some zero nicotine menhol flavor. And would just take a light puff of that whenever that urge arrived and one would usually get me through the entire day.
