    People focus entirely too much on method instead of motive. There’s lots of methods to quit that have worked for some and failed for legions more.

    You can easily ween yourself off nicotine by mixing your own vape juice. Make small batches, lowering the nicotine % by an imperceptible amount each batch until it’s effectively 0%. Then keep vaping 0% until the urge goes away. Do it over the course of a year, and you’ll never notice the drop. No willpower needed.

        I vaped 0% for about a year, so I get it. I would probably still be doing it, but my mods eventually broke and I didn’t replace them. Without the physical addiction, I quickly got over it. The habit might be more addictive for some people though.

        A little bit. I was already mixing my own juice, so I had the liquids, syringe, bottles, etc. At that point, it’s just a few minutes with a spreadsheet, and you’re good to go for the year.

        It’s worth it if you really want to quit and are having trouble.

    Rather than go cold turkey you can quit smoking by restricting the times that you can have a cigarette

    No actually, I can’t.
