>>570715i just realized it was kind of retarded. i actually had no health issues from it other than some anxiety, and it took me three times to really quit (i regretted it each time i went back, it begins to taste disgusting) and it has been over a year now. i still get cravings once in a blue moon, but i just let myself pout and feel the urge until it passes.
what keeps me away is realizing it can fuck my health and breathing/lung function up long term, and the little hit is NOT worth it. it just wasn’t a vice i could justify anymore. i hated relying on some chemical device just to function. what made quitting hard was that it really helped my productivity and focus. but again, the temporary good feeling didn’t seem worth the potential damage.
i think i ate quite a bit more at first, but it leveled off and my appetite is normal again. straws and deep breathing helped me the most. you just have to find a reason to quit that outweighs the reason to vape, and be consistent with it and true to your values. you can also keep a tracker for motivation. also try replacing it with something neutral or of a lesser evil. positive if you have the power.
again, it ultimately is up to you whether you feel it is worth quitting.
