As someone who has been addicted to both, I'll say that the Juul wasn't as big a psychological torment as cigarettes.

With the Juul, you can almost honestly say you're enjoying the experience.

With a cigarette your mouth taste terrible, it burns your throat/sinuses, and you only get the nicotine 'high' which is, at best, an abatement of nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

So when I kept smoking cigarettes "against my will" it was really confusing and maddening.
