Gum and patches really do work if you give it an honest try. I'm speaking from experience.
In my experience, they don't and e-cigs do. It’s different from person to person.
I haven't smoked OR vaped for over 3 years after 18 years of smoking where I tried every other smoking cessation method including prescription medications.
Took me about three months of going from smoking to vaping high nicotine to gradually reducing to no nicotine and then not vaping at all.
Yeah the opposite was true for me. Vaping definitely was less effective because it gives you that instant hit which is a big component of the addictiveness of nicotine.
Glad it worked for you though. It's a terrible habit.
I'm glad the other methods worked for you as well! Of all the smokers I've ever known, maybe one or two total have not wished they never started..
That's part of what makes it easier to quit the cigs with vaping, and after that it's easier to quit vaping than it is to quit smoking.
And no it does not give that instant hit smoking does, it only gives a much smaller hit compared to a cig. And that hit helps quit the cigs, but also it's smaller, so it's easier to quit vaping than cigarettes.
The success rate of quitting by using vapes instead of gum or patches is way way higher. Like a totally different rate of success.
We don't have those over here.
I doubt that. Where approximately is that?
The Balkans.
