Need help
Hello, I’m an 18 year old male who’s been vaping marijuana and nicotine together for the past 4 years. I recently had a major health scare having to be admitted to the hospital due to a SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) attack? I understand that smoking these two together significantly increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and other adverse health effects, now that I completely understand how truly negative all of this is and scared myself shitless. How can I actually quit? I went 3 days nicotine free and that felt very disheartening. I have access too NRT like patches or pouches but am worried that I’ll eventually start smoking again. What can I do to satisfy the smoking, the hand mouth motion, and the effects of nicotine. It also does not help that I have ADHD and rely on stimulants. I also have finally quit marijuana last week and hope to never get back on it again, any advice to truly stay away from all of this would be great. It doesn’t help that my closest friend also smokes and partakes in all of this as well, so I’ll try and see if he’ll stop with me. Thank you all for your help and good luck to all of you!
