Finally quit nicotine

I quit smoking over a year ago (I was a 2 pack a day smoker) and started vaping. Two weeks ago I quit vaping. Honestly I think I was getting more nicotine from vaping than i ever did from smoking. The first few days I thought I was going to lose my mind but now I'm finally starting to feel normal again. And saving a bunch of money too
While I never vaped, I did smoke for a very long time. All it took to get me to quit was a heart stint and the doc telling me the next time he'd have to crack my chest. This is something you will never regret, congratulations.

congrats on kicking the habit :) I know it's hard for a lot of people, but it's probably worth it in money alone, and let's not forget the health benefits - another day on this place is another day to conquer the unknown and hold your loved ones close.
 
My wife and I stopped smoking about 7 years ago, it was amazing how soon you realize how much it effects your sense of smell and taste. Now I can tell if someone is smoking in a car 75ft away with the windows up, it’s crazy. First thing I had to do was repaint the house with Killz. We saved enough in 3yrs to buy a new Harley full dresser cash.

A guy that I used to work with kept talking about how much he wanted
a Harley. I kept telling him that his bike payment was sitting in his pocket.
He came in one day and said that he and his wife both quit smoking.
Within 30 days he had his Harley.
I quit 15 years ago and don't miss it one bit.
