Sure I'm not totally nicotine free in my life, but I figure if the world is going to shit, it's the only sustainable vice I can indulge in. The disposable vapes are so yucky and filled with nasty shit, other comrades on here who shared the studies about the heavy metals in these things pushed me over the edge to quitting them.

I've noticed my sleep was the first thing that always improves. When I vaped I used to wake up like every 2 or 3 hours, hit the vape half-awake, then go back and toss and turn. Now I sleep the entire night through, just getting up to pee once.

So that's cool. Goes without saying I also quit smoking too, pretty sure I'm a year out or close to on that, but I haven't kept track so it's fuzzy.

Congratulations! I post about the dangers and besides coffee, it's my last vice. I gotta quit, it's terrible. Plus, addictions quit are one less thing to bother you when things get more real, because they're going to do that.

What pouches are you using, maybe I'll try that, or just go cold turkey and let the world deal with my inner redacted. They're probably used to it anyway.

ty I go with the on! pouches in 8mg, soon I will switch them down to 6 or 4 mg

[–] jarntotheelder@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well done! Ive gone from 8mg to now 2mg. 4 to 2 was much harder for me than 8 to 4. My plan is to start limiting myself to less and less a day.

Yeah I plan on working my way to the lowest mg and parking it there.
