i switched to vaping with nicotine. zero problem. did not miss cigs for a second. Then I slowly reduced the nicotine over six months until zero. i'm now smokefree since 2 years after lighting up 30 cigs a day for over 20 years.
I did the same thing after smoking almost as long, well done and congratulations!
You both are stars!! I quit 10 years ago and now I am a podium finishing triathlete and marathoner.
Nicely done! That's how vapes should be used; as a means of harm reduction/tapering off, not as a 'healthy' replacement as some people view them to be.
They're still healthier than cigarettes (just because you're not breathing combusted organic matter) so if every smoker switched to vapes then we'd be in a better place. The only issue I have is the huge uptake of vaping among young people who wouldn't otherwise have smoked.
That's what I meant by harm reduction.
Another big problem with vaping is electronic waste/pollution (especially with the cheap disposables).
You also have to worry about cheap atomizers leeching heavy metals into the vapor.
It's not healthy, but less UN-healthy, which is then often called healthier, which is true.
Did the exact same, although it was more like 20 cigs in 30 years. I was very heavily addicted, and got depression when I tried to quit earlier. I finally managed to quit after vaping a few years, and then reduce the dosis. I've been nicotine free for 5 years now.
