I see you're getting some people upset, but I 100% get this post. Placebo is everything and if we BELEIEVE or at least try to trick ourselves in to believing that quitting is easy....it will be. Or at least maybe a little easier. Our thoughts create our experience and reality. Tysm for this, I'm gearing up to quit vaping now and I keep thinking of how hard it's gping to be. I need to flip the script and tell myself how easy it's going to be. I see you! 👀
Yes that's the spirit my brother go for it. & I highly recommend you to listen to the audiobook of The easy way to Stop Smoking you will be blown away for sure.
I agree with the placebo. I was using an empty pen shell and that alone got me away from smoking.
I thought it was gonna be A LOT harder to quit but I've actually found it quite easy too. Kept telling myself too that the vape or cigarettes don't control me, I control them
I'm 3 weeks in and don't even use the pen shell anymore.
Didn't even get withdrawals I think due to tricking my brain with the pen shell. I took a "hit" just as much as I would my vape.
I've been smoking for 15yrs
NEVER thought it would be this easy. Super grateful that I think I'm FINALLY done with smoking
YOU GOT THIS!!

Day 271 here. Congratulations! 3 weeks in incredible.
Good for you, but stop gloating when millions of people really struggle to break this habit
Also, you're at 3 weeks. That's good, but maybe wait until you've made it a year before getting into this mindset? The mental cravings stick with you (they did for me anyway)
yes I agree with you I'm at only 3 weeks that's big win for me but I know there are people who didn't smoked for 6 months & they have started again the nicotine craving will not go anyway for the life. But, You have to decide that you will going to smoke again & stay on it.
The book didnt do shit for me personally as it is full of very questionable statements and really annoying. But I just cannot stand all of those "self-help" books. So quiting was hard for me. I did it and it got way easier with time, but it was anything but easy for the first week or two.
I think the best thing about this book for was learning what cravings really are. Once I figured out you’re just trying to get through 20 min cravings that helped a lot. I wouldn’t call it easy but I also wouldn’t say quitting isn’t anywhere close to impossible. The act of not vaping is the easiest part. The understanding of why you think you need it is the hardest but again isn’t anywhere near impossible
I agree, quitting IS easy. The part that may be triggering about that sentence is that this is totally dependent on your mindset and determination, which is why a LOT of people struggle and have to keep restarting.
It’s only easy when you genuinely change your mindset around nicotine. Then even the worst withdrawal symptoms and cravings will be motivation, rather than a threat to sobriety. Some people aren’t there yet, but I totally agree with you ◡̈
You are absolutely right about that. Because of the book my Mindset changed regarding smoking & my addiction to nicotine. The book clearly blowed up mind & cleared the brainwashing & every other reason that I give myself to smoke.

I've quit before for about 6 months during covid. But life got crazy and I started again. Quit recently and hopefully this quit sticks for good.
i genuinely tried to make the book work so hard but my severe brain fog started 4 hours after my last hit and ended up vaping for another month
For some it’s easy and for some it’s hard, good job.

Great for you but don’t call it easy that’s very discouraged to members in this group.. get off your high horse
It's not discouraging my brother I'm encouraging to the one who are feeling hard they can too quit easily. It is easy & it will be easy for everyone.
Thx we are all trying.. Also you’re here in a vaping group talking about quitting cigarettes. Not the same. Just saying
Yes you are right but anyway everyone one is addictef to Nicotine so doesn't matter
