If you mean cigarettes I'm not sure relapsed is the correct term here but ya its definitely fucking hard. Shits so addictive, I quit like 9 months ago but I'll admit I vape now and again. Yes yes yes I knowww its also bad but it's not as harmful as the tar and bazillion other toxins I was inhaling.

relapsed is completely fair; its an addiction like any other.

Dr. Drew made vaping sound like nothing compared to smoking sticks. Tobacco is much more harmful than the nicotine

It is. Addiction is a disease, and a relapse is a setback after a period of improvement.

The difference is extremely noticeable, good for her!! Vaping does help when the odd cravings do come back I can attest to that but even so the positives are huge

It's more so low effort bait that takes no effort on their part but might get someone on the line anyway. My low effort bait is way better than that but I've still done it. You just set it and forget it. Your response will always take more effort, cause there is no lower effort than "Nuh-uh". Like I said, literally 4 year olds argue like that.

Quit cold turkey. No real reason not to unless you legit want to continue smoking.

I quit cold turkey five years ago.

It wasnt even close to as dramatic as people make it out to be.

Statistically it takes multiple (usually at least 10) attempts for most people to actually quit smoking cigarettes for at least a year. While quitting cold turkey is the more efficient method compared to nicotine reduction treatments, the truth is it's still got an abysmal initial success rate.

So, it is great that you were able to quit so easily but that's not the case for most people when you look at the studies and research that have gone into the subject.

I watched my mom struggle with it for years. She did the patch, the gum, even tried hypnosis. Nothing stuck, dead at 52. I started with ganja, so the appeal of cigs was lost on me, thankfully.

Pack and a half. Marlboro Reds. Cinnamon flavored toothpicks were my saving grace.

I hate the irritable asshole I become when I try to quit. What's worse is I always end up hanging out at the same spots where everyone is smoking and cave.

Idk how I ended up quitting. I tried a few times cold turkey but it would come back. One time it just stuck. I think the biggest factor was that I stopped being around other people that smoke.

My issue came more with TCs assertion that all addictions are created equally. It's like, no. Some are more powerful. It disturbs me greatly that some of you think this is bait. This cannot be an uncommon take.

Will have to keep that in mind and possibly try it myself. Im on reds as well and I have not had much luck. Then again I dont really want to quit I just know I should.
