quit smoking product

Hah, diet cigarettes!

I mean, is it still addictive? (relevant article) And do you still risk smoker's lung & cancer? I think it all goes back to George Carlin's "ya gotta wanna" approach. Per OP's desire to quit smoking, quitting smoking only makes sense if you want to. My buddy that I did the nasty unsweetened grapefruit routine with as a sponsor legit wanted to quit & didn't know how & had failed multiple times at quitting before, so we tried that procedure & it worked! Honestly it's the only approach I've ever seen in-person that has actually worked. But, it only works if you personally want to do it, not just as a nice idea, especially because I tried the juice & it is pretty dang awful hahaha.

well american spirit will get you off all the additives so i feel like you can quiet easier when you take that route.

It's like the old joke about how many shrinks does it take to change a light bulb. Only one, but it has to WANT to change.

Allow me to take a moment to bore the piss out of you with my personal story. I didn't start until I was in my 20's and I never smoked very much since my lungs couldn't handle it. Anything close to a pack a day and I'd be coughing my lungs up. And if I happened to get the flu, there was such a tidal wave of mucus that I couldn't touch a ciggie until things improved.

Then, maybe a decade or so later, a pharma company came out with a liquid nicotine spray (Nicotrol nasal spray). I switched to that and became even more addicted. If my old cigarettes had 1mg of nicotine each, then with the spray, I was consuming the equivalent of about 2 packs a day.

I stayed on that for around 30 years. But it was an expensive habit. Each spray bottle was $40 and I've been going through about 10 bottles per month. Do the math. Cocaine probably would have been cheaper (yeah, no but you get the idea).

Right now I'm weaning myself off of the spray. I haven't had any for about a week. I still use the lozenges though. But those are easier to kick. The nasal spray was in a weak HCl base so it burned the shit out of you nasal passages. Thing was, I really, really enjoyed that. So it wasn't just about the nicotine.

Nicotine patches and legal Weed helped me quit.
