Hey Pinkie P....I've seen you posting, but haven't stopped by to welcome you yet...
so.."WELCOME"!!
i haven't read all the responses, but my advise would be to get to the 0 nicotine NOW and end this constant state of withdrawal you are keeping youself in.... As long as you give your body even a little, it will SCREAM for more... The uncomfortable feelings may last a couple days at most, but once the nicotine is completely out of your system, you can concentrate on rewiring your brain to accept the fact smoking isn't nessasary to cope with day to day life...
There are many ways to quit smoking, and any way that is successful is a good way.... However, I have not personally known anyone who has been able to quit by substituting vaping for smoke... They still get as much (or more) nicotine, just use a different delivery system..in their mind they justify it by telling themself it's better than smoke.... Is it? ... Is snorting drugs safer than injecting them ( reduces the chance of AIDS). I would venture a quess and say that it may be, but in the end it's the DRUG that ruins your life in so many ways, not the delivery system you use to get it into your body.
so.. To get off the soapbox... I want to welcome you here and hope this works for you and that by the time I finish this story, you have put the vaping pen away and are finally breaking the grip that addiction has on you...
