I slowly tapered from 6mg to 3mg to 1.5mg vape juice over probably 8 or 9 months or so. Eventually went to 0mg but without the nic hit I lost interest. Withdrawal was there, but way better than going cold turkey.

I simply stopped cold. I read something about the chemical addiction being only 3 days to overcome and the rest being habitual. I used this to convince myself that I didn’t really need a cigarette physically in any way it was just mental desire and habit.

After about a month all desire stopped completely.

Prior to reading about the chemical addiction only being 3 days I had failed multiple times previously. It was a game changer for me. I don’t even know if it’s true or if I’m repeating a myth right now but it is what worked for me. Probably 10 years since a cigarette now and I was doing 20-30 a day (rollups) when I quit.

I had to quit drinking at all for like six months, because every time I was quitting smoking cold turkey I’d end up giving in after a few drinks. It was… not easy.

I quit cold turkey. Replaced it with coffee for the most part. Making pourover or moka pot coffee yourself is a bit of a meditative act that helps as well

Replaced cigarettes with toothpicks, quit cold turkey with a few lapses. I have no fond memories of cigarettes now a decade later.
