    In my experience, they don’t and e-cigs do. It’s different from person to person.

    I haven’t smoked OR vaped for over 3 years after 18 years of smoking where I tried every other smoking cessation method including prescription medications.

    Took me about three months of going from smoking to vaping high nicotine to gradually reducing to no nicotine and then not vaping at all.

      Yeah the opposite was true for me. Vaping definitely was less effective because it gives you that instant hit which is a big component of the addictiveness of nicotine.

      Glad it worked for you though. It’s a terrible habit.

        I’m glad the other methods worked for you as well! Of all the smokers I’ve ever known, maybe one or two total have not wished they never started…
