I have moved exclusively to Juuls and maybe smoke a regular cigarette once a week or so, if that. I was a pack a day person for a good 15 years, so transitioning was odd. Quitting drinking completely was a good start in reducing my nicotine use, for sure.
While everyone should find their own path in breaking an addiction, I am going to experiment with psilocybin for completely breaking my addiction. I can't really explain how it might work, but I have 100% confidence that I will be able to metaphorically flip that switch off and not think twice about it. It's helped me get more healthy in numerous ways already but I have purposely put off quitting nicotine since I actually like the novelty of smoking (or vaping) still. Fair warning: It's not for everyone nor is it legal for everyone. If you go on a trip with the intent to poke around in your own brain, you are going to need to be prepared to confront anything that comes up, and there will be things that come up.
Ok, you "get it", then. It's super hard to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced psychedelics before.
Once the party aspect of psychedelics wore off, I started using them in a more controlled atmosphere. Actively seeking out and resolving my years of baggage has been a hell of an experience in more ways than one. It's been extremely healthy, but difficult sometimes. At the end of the day, it has been totally worth it.
For me, psychedelics are perfect for my age. There is a ton of wisdom and experience I have now that makes self-reflection much more productive. Needless to say, ego dissolution has a much more profound impact now than it would of had when I was younger.
And of course, you must absolutely do you. I can absolutely respect that! (Just try to quit smoking, m'kay?)
