those side effect will be your body's reaction due to lack of nicotine.just like sudden stopping frm dringking or using drugs,being addicted with any substance thats the initial reaction your body will show.

40 to 60 cigarettes , too much 🤓 , its really spoil the heath in young age. I tried to smoke when i was under 19, but couldn't attract towards smoking .

thats too much i cant even smoke a pack for a day, better you stop it by altering vape.

Day 5 - It was a good night, no craving for a smoke... yesterday purchased a lower nicotine content vape liquid, down from 25 mg / ml nicotine to 20 mg / ml nicotine (20 % reduction in nicotine content) and started using this to slowly reduce my nicotine intake, on the road to 0 intake :))

Check list

1) stop smoking cigarettes - completed

2) change lifestyle to using nicotine vape (25mg/ml) - completed

3) slowly change / reduce nicotine content of Vape liquid used from 25 mg/ml to 20 mg/ml (20 % reduction) - on-going...

Wish me luck Guy's

Thank you for your advice my friend :)))

I stopped smoking with the help of vaping about 4 years ago (Maybe more)

I started on 12mg Nicotine back then, i am currently on 2mg Nicotine (High power device)

I can say from my own experience, it takes about 7 days for the "itch" to go away.
The main habbit you will have trouble breaking is the actual having a cig habbit, the taking it out, lightnig it and smoking it.
You will have to find things to keep you busy during your normal "Smoking time"

For me it was morning coffee and a ciggie, that was a 10 year long ritual i had developed, i didn't crave the cig, but i craved sitting on the porch, having my morning coffee and cig.
Now i can go to resturaunts and not have a drag of my vape for a few hours and it doesn't bother me.
My girlfriend still smokes, and i still light one for her now and again, but i never get the "itch" to smoke anymore.

Day 6 - Went to have a drink with some friends last night, first time meeting other smokers.

After they all lite up and started smoking, OMG, the smell and the smoke, I just couldn't take it, made excuses and left within 15 minutes, but I was not tempted at all, if anything this has made me even more determined to completely stop.

So, nearly 1 week of breaking the smoking hobby, changed the way I do things, no regrets, feel a little better, health wise,,,keep puffing the Vape....lol

Wish me luck Guy's 😂
