    Here's what I did to get rid of my nicotine addiction (vaping):

    - Gradually lower the strength of my liquid until it was at the minimum.

    - Stop all vaping and switch to nicotine gum

    - Gradually increase the time between each gum

    - Stop the gum altogether

    This process took probably 3 months and tbh it was pretty miserable the whole time. It's 100% worth it tho, You don't realize how much it controls your life until you stop. You will also still get random cravings for a year or two afterwards, Heck it's been 4 years and I still sometimes get dreams where I'm vaping.

      Tabex (laburnum extract), something to boost dopamin for the first weeks and probably the actual will to do so. Quitting was actually easy that way.
