| > The only real way is to stop using it and to endure the mild withdrawal symptoms. I’m curious - have you ever been addicted to nicotine? If so, how much per day were you consuming? I have been. I’ve kicked it multiple times and decided consciously to pick it back up because the benefits (focus) outweighed the drawbacks at the time. When I was consuming nicotine at the level of a “pack a day” smoker, the withdrawal sucked but wasn’t as bad as you might think. The worst lasted a day or so. After three days it wasn’t perceptible if I wasn’t thinking about it. One thing to consider though is that it’s entirely possible to consume many times the nicotine by vaping that you would by smoking. Severity of withdrawal correlates to the amount you consume. My approach has been to taper off a bit by consciously deciding to only consume it if I was really craving it - and putting the device in another room afterward to avoid consuming mindlessly. After a week or so of that, my use had dropped to the point that the cravings were only once or twice per day. From there it was trivial to quit - withstanding the early withdrawal symptoms in the evening and going to sleep was enough so that the next morning the worst had passed. Trying to quit cold turkey while you’re sucking down two Juul pods a day is very, very different than when you’re only using 1-2 per week. |
