I have been vaping/smoking for 9 years. Finally quit 3 months ago, where is my grand epiphany? I still have the same edurance levels at the gym, I feel absolutely no different. I was expecting, the energy, my skin bounces back, my lungs being clearer.. nothing. I also quit caffeine 2months ago, alcohol, and more recently 2 weeks ago, got off stimulants after 25 of my 29 years on this earth, stimulant tolerance got too much. I feel NOTHING and all I want now is to hit my vape, take my adhd meds and have an iced coffee.. why am i not feeling any better..

I quit the flavor ones by switching to fruit juice that was that flavor. Strawberry banana smoothies came in clutch.

I can go DAYS without nicotine like my vape... but that action of bringing something to my mouth and sucking air in with a tad resistance is what I want. before I started vaping/smoking, it was one of my biggest stims, especially when I was stressed. it's strangely comforting🤷♀️of course now it is also a nicotine craving bc I am not amune to addiction.
I have a rule for myself that if I buy a vape at the beginning of the month and it's "done" before the next month, I don't buy a new one.
but I still use like an empty pen tube to suck air in...
(does this even make sense??)

I’m studying cognitive science and I love how much your field overlaps with mine sometimes. Your videos are amazingly educational and I might build off of this for my following research proposal. You make great content thank you so much

Behaviorally like most things and most ppl, I find when I know I don’t have it or am low, I crave it more simply for the lack of it! So very interesting to see it play out in a study

I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day until I slowly transitioned to vape. At first I smoked both and then quit cigs altogether; nowadays I can’t have a cigarette I hate it. At the beginning a vape lasted me a week and 3 years later it lasts me up to 2 months. I’m slowly quitting and that makes me so damn happy

I have likened my patient’s smoking to moments in the day where they are meditating…deep breathing, sitting still, going outside. When quitting, to try to still take those moments where they are breathing, sitting still, etc., but not smoking.

Heyyy :
I think, based on the funded studies of things like pufftopography - & thank you for sharing your knowledge - the goal isn’t to gain knowledge to help people quit, it’s to help reinforce the addiction. Unfortunately nothing hits like a substance, like down to a spiritual level. It’s learning to live without these dopamine hits that makes life so frustratingly long. 😩

As a smoker I do like the flavor of my American Spirit blues, I wish that the smell wouldn’t linger on me but otherwise I enjoy it

After being heavily addicted (I’m talking waking up in the middle of the night just for a hit), i found that the best way to quit is just having a good support system and going cold turkey. Having loved ones you trust and can keep you accountable, who will not be judgemental of you, is that truly helps. Very privileged to have an awesome husband and kind friends.

The want for a vape is directly correlated to the flavor for me! I have bought flavors I didn’t like to ease into quitting and it worked

@sometimesimpretty :
I’m curious why someone might not become addicted to nicotine. Like I’ve smoked hookah socially and vapped socially for extended periods of time, but when I’m done, I don’t want more. Like I can be in social situations and not participate, and I can be in it and participate every day for a few months and then one day just stop and I’m over it. Even then, it’s still only socially. I don’t do it on my own and never have. I don’t think I experience withdrawals from it, if I do I don’t notice them at all.
