I just read a post from Ron from 2002 and
The following is a link to a study that confirms the extra strong cues to smoke after the first month quit and into the next few months.
Also yesterday, 11/19/19 I read an article from LA Times
"A review by the Los Angeles Times of more than 3,000 pages of internal Juul records, obtained by the Food and Drug Administration and released to a researcher through the Freedom of Information Act, found that the concept behind the formula that makes Juul so palatable and addictive dates back more than four decades — to Reynolds’ laboratories".
Anyway, long story short, what ever I am addicted it, it is an addiction, and it is prudent for me to read as much as possible on it. So if anyone can share any other resources, I would appreciate it. Thank you
You got hooked because Big Tobacco and the vaping producers designed their products to be addictive - on purpose.. The cigarette manufacturers actually put cough suppressants in cigarettes to mask your bodies natural response to the noxious smoke.
Here is a bit on addiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpWMgPHn0Lo&feature=youtube.
You might visit whyquit.com, quitsmoking.com and livewell.com for the good information contained there.
There is no shortage of information out there. Education is important to a successful quit. Keep at it!!!

I've actually watched people fail during those first 4 months for the past 12 years and put it together.
Knowing about it got me through it.
It's my main theme.
ladybug confirmed it not too long ago.
