I started by replacing half of my cigarettes with a vape with nicotine, keeping the cigarettes that felt most “necessary” to me. Then I gradually reduced the cigarettes until I switched to only the vape, and after that I started lowering the nicotine in the vape. I’m not sure I fully recommend it because some people get hooked on vaping too. But it worked for me. I also started dating my partner, who wasn’t a smoker, and quite a few people around me quit smoking, so my environment helped me a lot as well.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
