I smoked for over 30 years and quit using the tried and true Vowels method. I lost track of how many days it's been, but it's been about 6 weeks or so. I'm 48 and I need to start taking better care of myself, and breathing became difficult at times. Riding became almost impossible to do for any length of time. It was getting serious, so I decided it was time. Smoking is pointless anyway, and I've always understood that it is, but as a teen I wanted to fit in with the cool kids, so smoking was one way to look cool without actually having to be cool, and thus the habit formed. I know addiction. I know it very well. I won't go into details here on a public forum, but I wouldn't wish some of what I've been through on my worst enemy. Quitting smoking was easy compared to some of it.
...and people that think they've quit because they vape now are just mind fucking themselves. I have a few friends that swear they don't smoke anymore. Sure, THATS true, but you're still a slave to nicotine.
