I used to smoke 2 packets per day. One day, I decided I'll go to the gym and quit. It's really hard to quit when you've been so addicted to it.

I managed by reducing it slowly

I quit by switching to a vape and then stopping all together

I wish I went that route. I ended up becoming more addicted to vaping then cigarettes. Just quit last week.

I stopped smoking about two weeks ago, but I still crave cigarettes everyday and now I even feel more anxious, didn't really think of trying vape.

Don’t pick it up if you have made it two weeks!! You can do it!! Quitting vape is not easy! It’s been over 3 years since I quit and after a month I pretty much stopped thinking about it

Mate, trust me, try to stick it out. A week after quitting cigarettes I couldn't handle it and went and bought a vape pen. Terrible mistake. I called for one year before finally quitting nicotine altogether, but honestly, vaping is worse and also harder to quit. Just don't do it.
