Man at least you’re aware that it’s a huge problem, I straight up denied it until my body started fighting it, you’re really lucky you can def learn from my mistake and take it slowly, day by day smoke less, bc I had to go full cold Turkey unless I wanted to visit the ER, you know it’s an addiction when every 20 mins you gotta hit it.. or even just have it on you at all times… it’s crazy my stress levels would significantly go down if I had it in my hands 🤦‍♂️ if that’s not a dependency idk what is. I’m rooting for you brother!! You really don’t have to wait until something bad develops 🫡 btw if you just like vaping not nicotine I think there’s a safer alternative out there that has 0 chemicals and it’s all plant matter, that’s a start tbh 🧡🫂💜
