    Thank you. And to anyone out there trying to quit. You have to try out vaping and then when you get sick of getting sticky from the juice. You’ll finally want to just stop.

      I did both for a while, smoking and vaping. A place I shop at was giving away cans of nicotine pouches when you bought a pack of cigarettes for a little while.

      One day I was starting at the nicotine pouches and thought, “fuck it, let’s add another addiction to the mix.” Over three hours later I realized I hadn’t even thought of a cigarette or vape yet and I didn’t feel like one even though I was thinking about it then. A lightbulb went off in my head.

      I think I bought one more pack of cigarettes after that. I quickly went down to a few cigarettes a day, then down to two cigarettes a day, then one for a few days, and then none. Vapes were just an indoor substitute for cigarettes, once I didn’t want cigarettes I didn’t want to vape, either. It took me about a month after that to wean off the pouches, too.
