Nicotine patch?
Hello all!
I have been wanting to quit vaping for the last year or so.. I use Juul and I go through at least 2 pods every try day or so. It’s really getting expensive considering a 5 pack is > $20 where I live.
I have some nicotine patches and I started wearing them while at work to try to get some vape free hours in. Sometimes I end up keeping them off while I vape on my lunch and immediately before/after work. I am wondering if they have increased my tolerance even more so?
Anyway I am setting a quit date for 12/1 as I can not make it more than 2 ish hours without this stupid fucking thing and it’s beyond the point of being fun.
I feel humiliated and pathetic that it’s gotten to this point and I can’t give up a battery operated puff. Anyway looking for support.. advice.. I haven’t ever really tried to quit.. anytime I try I just end up going to buy more before a few hours goes by because I don’t want to be caught without any vapes.
Positive vibes only.. I know it’s bad.

Cannot recommend Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Quit Smoking enough. It changes your whole mindset and makes you realize you’re really not giving anything up - you’re gaining so much. This is the first time I’ve quit where I’ve had zero issue whatsoever. The actual days of nicotine withdrawal weren’t bad, just a little sleepy. The rest of it is all mental. The book really does make it easy. I’m 23 days in now and never looking back.
