I had similar question: "Would vaping help". I just tried the MyBlu vape pen after 2 years & 2 months of no cigs. Highly recommend the product for helping to QUIT SMOKING cigs but it did not help my brain fog, sleepiness, anxiety. I do recommend the Equate nicotine mints for anxiety, just don't use too many or it can be worse. The vaping after not smoking for so long ended up being a mistake. I was vaping every 30 minutes to try to feel better (it did not work) and did not have control over it like I did with the "mints" so I was vaping a lot. I quit vaping 3 days ago and have been using more mints than I originally used to quit smoking. Vaping is VERY addictive but the mints have not been. I don't recommend vaping at all for trying to relieve symptoms other than the initial withdrawal and believe the mints are a better option. I hope you don't start smoking again but I sure understand your situation. I feel I must choose whether I want to live without quality of life or go back to smoking. Surely there must be a better choice and we just have not found it. Best wishes.
I know if I get out and exercise that may help a lot. Do you get regular exercise and if so, has it helped you? I'm so unmotivated to start.....I need a walking buddy too :)
I waited to quit smoking until I was feeling very healthy. I thought that would make it easier but now I keep asking why did I do this to myself. I thought I was doing a good thing and I would be healthier. Did not turn out that way.
I go back to the doctor soon and if he does not "fix me", that may be the final straw. I hate for anyone to go back to smoking. It is a horrible feeling after that first puff of a cig. Such a let down for how long you made it. If you decide to start again, try smoking the least amount possible, just to get you back to feeling human again. Before I quit, I was smoking half a cig at a time and only 7 a day. Your body gets used to a certain amount and feels satisfied. Please let me know how it turns out. Wishing the best for you.
Hi Malik, $24 whoa, that is crazy high. I was using 24mg nicotine vape liquid which is much stronger than the cigs I smoked. Best I can tell, I was vaping much more than I smoked and did not get ANY relief. For all I know, smoking real cigs would not fix the problems that quitting caused. I agree that smoking does wonderful things mentally. Just wish it didn't kill you in the process. I will let everyone know about any future experiments I do to try to beat this. Good luck.
