Quitting tobacco

[farouk]

I actually make my own nicotine juice - works out way cheaper and I can ensure I’m using safe ingredients.
Re daughter - yes - I did handle that particular situation well if I do say so myself lol!

@Goldie75 Sounds like you are quite knowledgeable about how to prepare your material for your inhales. You've probably spent time learning and researching how to do it. Does your daughter know you make your own nicotine juice? because it sounds like she doesn't want to use any herself currently.

@devin553344 Ppl do find it helps as an alternative to cigarettes, anyway, when trying to cut down.

I know you have a thread on it, is that what you found in the thread?

Yeah - I did my research but it wasn’t hard.
Actually- I don’t know if my children know or not…though it’s not a private thing. I think all 3 properly understand the nature of nicotine addiction and have no desire to walk into it which was one of my goals with them.

Quitting bald turkey....


...If I had to mess up my words in my head, everyone else has to read it.

Did you quit cold turkey? Or did you taper down?

Similar comments there, yes. Seems that thread has not been so live lately.

Thanks for the information, maybe I'll try vaping to decrease my levels like Cassandra mentioned.

@devin553344

I quit, but I was using these Blu ones.

You can try this link, but usually I got them from ampm there. They're usually about $10 but depends on the vendor.

The pens are a lot better than those giant tanks.

Cold turkey!

@Goldie75 I see; you know they are adults now and whether or not they learn about making the nicotine juice is something they can take responsibility for as adults.

And like, (of course!) they know you are an adult, too; and that whether you make it and do it is your business, too....

 

[farouk]

Cold turkey!

@FluffyYellowDuck Well done! some ppl find it hard not to quit without going the vaping route first.

 

[Goldie75]

Incidentally - I hate the word ‘vaping’…it sounds like something vampires would do!! So I try to use any word but..

 

[Mantis]

@Mantis I think you have good experience of quitting, right?

Well I smoked cigs for about a year and I have chewed for months at a time. Even that little bit of use had me pretty addicted. I can't believe how addicting it is.

@Goldie75 I see, so you typically describe yourself as an e-cigarette smoker rather than a 'vaper'.....

@Mantis Well, for it's definitely a relief to be quit.....

if they were going to smoke regardless…then yes, I’d prefer they used an ecig with sound quality nicotine.

@Goldie75 So you do think that it would be crude sources of nicotine that would concern you most if your daughters smoked? Like, informing/educating ppl about nicotine juice would be part of it, I guess.

 

[farouk]

@Goldie75 So....up to now are you kind of ticking over steadily at a level of e-cigs? or maybe managing to cut down just a bit yet?

Atm, I am peacefully at a steady level - benefitting from not going found in circles continually failing…with all the negatives that brings.

I will know in my heart when it’s time to reduce but it’s not now.

I’m believing God to be fully free from this addiction. But it has to be in His strength.

@Goldie75 I reckon a key word there is steady, right?
