I did, but I did stick with it for years before dropping the vape too. There was a transition period where my smoking dropped in frequency before I was totally done, so it wasn’t immediate for me, but all my friends smoked around that time so that didn’t exactly help. I was nicotine free for a few years after that until recently when I picked up the synthetic pouches under some extra stress. Do with that what you will. Its not a perfect solution, but I do think the vape was very helpful in quitting cigarettes because of the similar sensation that I never got from the gum or patches. Harm reduction tends to be more effective than elimination right off the bat.

Edit: it might be worth noting I do still use a dry herb vape for cannabis and occasionally smoke that, but the noticeable consequences are much less than they were from smoking tobacco or even vaping nicotine/pg/vg. Someday I’ll completely drop the nicotine pouches too, but overall I feel pretty decent about where I’m at.

As soon as the cereal starts to float, I stop pouring milk.

Less sex and love and more politics and drugs.

Up Top by Busty and the Bass is a great one if you’re looking for some tasty bass.

Captain Hook by Vulfpeck is also a favorite.
