I know it’s gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it’s something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can’t find a habit to replace it with.

    Highly recommend vaping for cold turkey quitting of cigs. Once you taper the vaping nicotine dosage down to a few mg/mL., you should consider a product like fum, which is a non-vape flavored oral fixation device.

            Not all addictions are equal. The plan I suggested gradually reduces harm. It’s better to aim for harm reduction rather than cold turkey quitting which frequently leads to relapses.

              Ok let me say the issue in a different way. Both are nicotine. You have the exact same addiction. You aren’t even quiting your just changing the flavor of tobacco. If I start drinking vodka instead of beer and say I am trying to get over alcoholism, you would say I am insane because that won’t work.
