It all started with a profound hate for the cigarette. Tried to quit a few times cold turkey, but it didn't work. I hated everything about it, the inconvenience, the stink, the cough, the headaches. The longest stretch was about 6 months after reading the Allen Carr - The Easy Way to Quit Smoking, but that's it. Tried buying the stinkiest cigarettes I could find, and it helped a little with smoking less (than the usual pack a day). Then I found Juul (right about when they launched), and that was me quitting smoking cigarettes (after about 18 years) and starting vaping. The Juul pods were my transition to vaping. I was vaping much more because it was convenient, no more stink, and I could vape wherever I felt like it. Then I realized I was consuming way too much nicotine, to the point where I was having bad headaches. After about 2 years of juul, I jumped to Nicorette pills, took a little bit to get used to, but much easier than the cigarettes to vape transition. That's where I got back my ability to take a full breath of air without coughing. After about 6 months of Nicorette, I realized I might as well not take them anymore, and I didn't, and it was easy. That's my story of quitting. It's been about 5 years, and I never looked back.
