Interestingly enough, this is how I tricked myself into quitting smoking.

I withdrew $100, and told my good friend that I’d give it to him if I used anything with nicotine in it. It worked pretty well since it turns that first cigarette into a $100 cigarette. Not worth it at all.

And I haven’t smoked in 7 years :)

Good job! But I would caution that you probably were just not addicted to nicotine. You may not have the genes for addiction, or it just was not yet activated.

It can often be the habits and routines that are hard to stop than the physical addiction.

Most people aren't addicted to nicotine. They are addicted to the burnt additives.

This is why vaping tends to work really well if you want to quit. It's just water and nicotine.

That's wildly untrue. Many people just end up addicted to vaping instead.
