People hooked on vapes try a new way to quit: cigarettes

    The only way I could quit my nicotine addiction was to slowly reduce the amount of nicotine in my vape juice. Even at 0% nicotine and no more physical dependence it still took a whole year to finally stop vaping. If I had a single cigarette I would have to start the whole process over again. Nicotine addiction is a terrible enslavement.

      Which is why it is BS that many places have marketted and regulated away fillable vapes and buying your own juice. Most vapes available now are disposables and have one and only one concentration level available.

        Yeah, it’s almost like these vape companies have no motivation to help you wean yourself off their product.

          its regulation. in jurisdictions where its not regulated you can often purchase a reusable, refillable vape for the same price as a disposable

            Wait, where are disposable vapes allowed, but not refillable vapes/traditional e-cigs? Plenty of places are banning disposable vapes on an e-waste basis, but never heard of the opposite.
