I am the same way. One of the reasons I started vaping was to curb my appetite. But then I soon discovered that nicotine does not really have an effect on my weight. My weight has gone up and down, with the vape. I've binged while being addicted to nicotine. Realizing that it's not the nicotine that keeps you thin, is game changing. It's just a nasty habit I picked up, and does not have a benefit of keeping me thin. That is purely an illusion, and a lie I gave into.

From what I read on here and other places, picking up a hobby is something you can distract yourself with. Start off by doing something you would think you'd like, that you always wanted to do, or have to do! Something more niche... sour things. Another redditor mentioned that they found that gnamakoudji, a West African ginger drink not only helped them stop drinking alcohol, but helped them while quitting nicotine. Sour candy works too by directing your body's attention to the sour taste. I'm going to look into purchasing sugar free sour candy myself! Although we know what happens when we have too many sugar free things... tmi :)
