I started around 13/14 much more common back then. Must have tried to stop 123,456 times. Always managed a few weeks/months then fell back into it. Drinking always does it for me, few beers and I’m screwed. These days I rarely go out which helps but been a heavy weed smoker for years, also making it very difficult to properly stop. Nothing better than a beer and a joint, it’ll always be my weakness.
I am 2 weeks into my latest attempt. This time feels different, think I’ll always have a couple if I go out to the pub but that happens about twice a year now. I don’t trust vapes so haven’t used them, always seemed worse than fags to me. Really burns the throat so left them alone.
Baccy is horrid stuff really I wish I’d never gone anywhere near it. I was 3 when I lost my Grandad when he was 63. Fortunately I’ve always expercised a lot in amongst it, did a lot of fell running while my knees and ankles allowed so hoping that offset the smoking a bit.
Im 43 now so feel I’m at a bit of a crossroads, still young enough to get away with it I’m hoping.

Good luck mate. Really hope you do it.

Probably haven’t had the right advice mate? A good vape shop would ensure that you have the right setup tailored to whatever you want to achieve (switching, quitting altogether, etc). One of the things I love about vaping is that you have a plethora of options in terms of hardware and juices to suit all needs.
I’m going cold turkey, hardcore. Chance of success, 25%. I know if I get a vape my dependence on nicotine will continue or increase. I want to be free and quick. I’m going for the short term pain approach.Probably haven’t had the right advice mate?

Probably a daft idea.

Having the 3rd this week* with a glass of merlot right now, watching the world in the garden wind down for bed.
*who's counting ffs!
I didn’t think anyone would smoke a pipe these days. Do you live in a Charles Dickins novel?

tbf he was out in the midday sun...
Your pleasure involves inhaling any number of known carcinogens Chris, whereas vaping does not (the production of a vapour vs combustion of tobacco, inc. all of its constituents, being the difference). But as the forum’s main contrarian, I know there’s nothing I or anyone can tell you to sway you. It’s part of your ever-enduring charm.
You can get nicotine-free liquid - in fact, over a certain bottle size (10mll?!), the law insists on it. I buy 100ml shortfill bottles, along with 20ml of 18mg nicotine. I mix them, leaving me with 120ml of liquid with 3% nicotine content. Most of these disposables come in at least 20mg nicotine, and they have a higher PG content vs VG. You’re looking at mad levels of nicotine percentage in them, and the high PG content is all about carrying flavour in a thin liquid, but it is known to be harsh on the throat in those quantities. The liquid I buy is usually 80+% VG, which suits my needs. Nice clouds, good flavour, no harsh throat hits, and a mild but satisfying nicotine hit.
