It's now been over 2 years and 3 months that arfy's quit smoking ciggies. Haven't had a single one since I quit cold turkey, and haven't really wanted one tbh. But I do think I've replaced one habit with another, as I'm constantly intaking nicotine via my e-cigarette throughout the day. At least my house no longer stinks of smoke, and there's no combustion involved. Anyone else in this situation?

Great job fam! Next month will be 7 years for me. I quit it all though, I tried to transition to vapes and ended up back on the cigs. So I went full smoke/vape free cold turkey! It was hard in the beginning, but once you break free from it, it’s over. I wanted to not be addicted to nicotine either. I am not considering using nicotine in moderation via Zyn pouches and/or gum. But definitely not daily 😂

Wow dude, 7 years! That is inspiring! I think the thing that really got to me, was the combustion aspect of cigarettes... it just makes everything so unhealthy and toxic. Nicotine in and of itself... meh, I see it as similar to caffeine. Just as long as you don't overdo it and start drooling uncontrollably. 😹 But I think it's a very individual thing--some people want to break free completely from all of it, as you did, and I think that's awesome! Me, I'm a bit of a fidgeter, and I think having/holding something shaped like a cig, has helped immensely with that psychological addiction aspect, too!

Exactly, Dr. Huberman says nicotine is perfectly fine (and good even) when used in moderation. The hard part is keeping it in moderation though lol. I'm with you on the fidgeting, anxiety/panic disorders + ADHD and ya, you can say I feel your pain with regards to that lol. It's definitely worse since quitting too, but knowing my lungs are healing, breathing is better, sleep is better, etc is worth the extra fidgeting for me 😅 🤣
