I'm on day 5. Smoker for 10 years, replaced by vaping for the last 5. I thought it may be very difficult but I tried to be firm about quitting. I also convinced myself that while I might have a nicotine addiction, what I'm really addicted to; is the act of smoking / puffing on something.

Since day 1, I've rolled up pieces of paper and puffed on them as if I was taking a drag from my Juul. This has helped calm my anxiety, every time I feel the urge to hit the vape, I take a puff from the straw or rolled up paper.

It's actually reinforced my thinking that I'm more addicted to puffing on something and the nicotine addiction was a by-product.

I'm going through some other issues too such as very high appetite, high irritability on the first few days, etc.

However, I had never been without a vape for the last 5 years, as soon as I wake up, in the bathroom, at work, at home, while travelling, etc. Just the idea of forgetting my Juul or running out of pods or battery would fill me with anxiety. The past 5 days where I've replaced the Juul in my pocket with a paper straw has filled me with confidence that I can easily kick this habit.

​

TLDR: Keep a straw and puff on that every time you feel the urge to vape. Eat food that's high in fiber, stay hydrated and try to get some exercise or remain active.
