One year and two months
Hello everyone! I quit vaping one year and two months ago. I smoked from 2013 to 2019, then switched to vaping until I finally quit everything in February 2025. This is my 4th or 5th attempt, previous was in the 2022. Then I quit for about a month and after caving in I somehow accepted that I'll vape forever. But here I am 1 year and 2 months free from this stupid addiction!
Here is what worked for me:
Cytisine, really helps, comparing to my previous attempts, as I can remember, I did not crave nicotine as much.
Toothpick, for about 5 months I chewed the most basic toothpicks. I don't do it now though.
I still have cravings, especially when I am stressed. But every time I do, I am telling myself, that vaping solves none of my problems and only creates new and I really mean it.
Sometimes when the cravings kick in, I tell myself "maybe tomorrow, but not today" and it really helps. I got it from one guy on YouTube.
Also, you should know how your brain tricks you. In my previous attempts I recognized one reoccurring pattern. Basically, after about a week after quitting I'd start reading medical studies about how vaping is not so bad and finally trick myself back into the addiction. And while I still believe that it's healthier than smoking, I also believe that it's harmful and much more addictive.
Also, just remind yourself from time to time, that it's really cool to beat this addiction (statistically speaking nicotine is one of the hardest addictions to quit)
Zero nicotine juice didn't worked for me. It just leaves you unsatisfied I suppose? Anyway, in November 2025 I vaped for 3 days this zero nicotine juice (yeah, so my streak is not perfect) and was disappointed. Do not recommend.
Okay, that's basically everything I wanted to say. Thanks for reading and I wish everyone to beat this addiction!
