| I was a nic addict for several years. Most of the time it was spliffs (weed mixed with nicotine) but my consumption rate was probably the equivalent of 4-5 cigs a day (8 king size spliffs per day). I also smoked here and there but I didn’t like the taste or throat hit as much. After having a prolonged cough, I switched to juuling. I loved it - tasted great, nice buzz, amazing (AMAZING) throat hit. I stopped smoking spliffs (positive was I was no longer high 24-7), my lungs felt better, I overall felt better. However, the issue with these things is it is so available. You can take tiny rips anywhere. And there is no quantized amount. You just take a few puffs but you have no idea how much that is, unlike a discrete cig. So my 4-5 cig a day habit turned into the equivalent of a pack a day habit. I found myself ‘going to the bathroom’ all the time at work to sneak a quick hit. I think my base level anxiety went up. So I quit the juul (quitting wasn’t as hard as I thought despite using a pod a day for 6 months, the anxiety of what would happen when I quit was really the big thing. In terms of withdrawals all I had was a desire to consume nic on my mind all the time for a few days). Really what I want to say is that the juul is a better cig. You can use it anywhere. You feel much less terrible and sickly (when your smoking you couch all the time). It tastes much better. However all of this makes it much more addicting than the traditional cigarette The science is out on how bad for you vaping is. Many point to the fact that nicotine by itself is really only bad for your heart - the extra stuff is more from smoke / chemicals in cigarettes. However nicotine addiction kinda sucks |
Sucks more than caffeine addiction?
