Thank you for your kind words everyone
It most certainly was notā¦
The path I chose on my journey was extremely arduous mentally, but necessary. With the stress of having to move twice and with my wife still smoking cigs, the temptation to just grab one and light it up was there, a couple timesā¦but I persevered! 
I couldnāt have done it without her love and support though, and the love and support from all of you here on OG. Sheās been vaping some too, especially in the car with a nice disposable vape I got her.
Anyone looking to quit smoking cigarettes, I urge you to just keep trying. My lung capacity and taste buds have come back tenfold. Itās the best thing Iāve done for myself the past 20 years. I feel like Iām finally free from the vice grip tobacco had on me. Iām still vaping, but now down to low nicotine 1-3mg/ml max. Wonāt be long before Iām at 0mg and finally stop vaping altogether. By next year Iāll be home free! 
Hereās a few pics from last night of the young buds forming to start your day 
Amnesia Haze x Chocolate Rain
Buddhaās Sister x Cocoa Kush

I think understanding what happens when we quit anything is important to success. So I hope you donāt mind me putting this here for everyone else as well that are improving their life
Although its not good to put anything except air in our lungs, and nicotine is a toxic nerve poison, they have used it for putting animals to sleep. Its all the other crap in a cig that damages the lungs and trachea.
So long as what the nicotine is in, is less harmful to the lungs when you vape it, your winning the battle.
This is hard for some that are quitting to fully appreciate and not what is advised by the media or tobacco companies that also sell things to help you quit. They promote the idea you have a physical/chemical addiction.
Why would they do thatš¤ because if you believe you have an addiction, you will be less likely to try or achieve success in quitting.
There are no chemically addictive substances in tobacco, its a behavioral, habit addiction, you have conditioned yourself to, allong with a small dopamine reward.
Although studies show tobacco smokers have reduced D2 and D3 dopamine transporters, it still seems this is the primary reward our brains get out of it, apart from taking our minds off our internal anxieties for the time we are smoking.
At least with a chemical addiction you can break it within 3 weeks of abstinence, its the dopamine reward and psychological aspects that are more complex to deal with.
The next part of your programming you need to break is association.
Which is, whenever you reach for the vape look at what you are doing, you will notice either similar behavioral or emotional triggers every time. Once you recognise the triggers its easier to avoid picking up the vape in an unconscious awareness.
Its funny as this shows how powerful our minds and programes are. A lot of people will light up when stressed to relax.
Relaxing is the complete opposite of what smoking a cig does to our mind and body, yet we are able to reverse the biological effect of a cig and actually relax while smoking it

Iām overcome with a feeling I canāt explain
I reach into the auto tent to pick out 2 magnificent specimens

Fat Banana
And teleport them into the closet with the Spaced Limes female
And the Spaced Limes male
Nothing can overcome the need for seeds!! 
Male plants be like

Congratulations! Glad you are staying strong. I chewed tobacco for 20 years and quitting that was a true challenge, enjoy the improved health OTUG.

Definitely the hardest part. Iāve always called smoking a cig at work ālighting a fuse on my breakā. Itās the perfect few minute timer for a break. I canāt even count how many times Iāve smoked just cause I was bored and it was something to do for a few minutes.
I havenāt quit yet OTUG did. I have quit cold turkey for like 2 months before though.

Man I tried thatā¦ and it doesnāt work for meā¦ as soon as Iām done w the weed I want a cig very very badā¦ Iām just going to have to deny myself the ability to smokeā¦ like donāt buy moreā¦ etc. I mean donāt get me wrongā¦ the plan in that sense is to smoke bud every time I want a cigā¦ but damn I donāt think Iāll get a single thing done otherwise

Buy some nice CBD flower and roll up a bunch of doobies. Thatās what worked for me. I still get triggers when partying or drinking, biut weed goes well with those situations.

Same here. It would be very odd to not have a cig after.

You guys should try to quit with - https://www.allencarr.com/easyway-stop-smoking/how-to-quit/
Weāll the book he wrote anyway.
I have at least 5 friends who have quit using his book. I never could get hooked on cigarettes, so I canāt vouch for the process, but from what Iāve heard, he has you smoke as much as youād like the whole time your reading the book. Anyway, I have many friends whoāve quit and havenāt started again, and itās been 5-6 years for most of them, and theyāll all swear by his book.
