I started smoking when I was 12. We lived in a bad part of town and my whole family smoked so cigarettes were easily stolen. I smoked continuously until I was 18 and I quit for a couple of weeks cold turkey. Started again. At 20 I quit for 6 months starting with nrt gum and switching to snuff. At 25 I quit for one month using the nrt gum. At 27 I’m currently quit for 4 months using electronic cigarettes. I didn’t intend on quitting smoking I originally bought it because I like hookahs and thought it could be used like that but much more conveniently, which it was. I started on 24mg nicotine strength and continue to use 24. I do plan on cutting that down but only because it affects the flavor.
