    It is hard, but it’s absolutely worth it and can be made easier if you slowly transition rather than going cold turkey. No way I could have stopped without nicotine gum. Once I finally forced myself to throw my vape in the garbage and just kept using nicotine gum it was really hard to justify going back to vaping/smoking. Smoking (~5 years) -> Vaping (~5 years) -> Nicotine gum (~3 months) -> Regular gum (still using)

      Well, gum is not that healthy either, but at least it’s cheaper 😂.

      Kidding, it’s a lot healthier than smoking, that’s for sure.

      Damn, I’ve been smoking for 22, 23 years now… started when I was 16 😔.

      I gave vaping a try once or twice (can’t remember), but I caughed a lot from it… I’ll give it another shot, people here gave me some will power ☺️.
