i am getting slightly confused,
doc are you saying cigarettes have no phsical addition to them. Its all in your mind???
I can see that
and all teh withdrawl symptoms that are reported that are physical like,
getting a cold
headaches
etc
are not from withdrawl but form the body purging all the nastiness we inhaled while smoking that built up in our system
am I on the right page?
It's withdrawals, trust me. As a former, recovered drug addict, I can safely ascertain that the physical and emotional angst I experienced quitting smoking was my body withdrawing not just from nicotine (I started vaping at a much lower level than I smoked), but from all the other "drugs" that cigarettes contain. I was hateful, I was rude, I got night sweats, shakes, and sometimes nausea. Sometimes I think that subconsciously that was one of the reasons I didn't successfully quit sooner than I did. I just didn't want to go through that again.Well, when I was smoking I did not want to quit because I loved watching my clouds, but when I started to vape, I loved it!! Big, Huge Clouds. mmmmmm clouds!! I can go both with nic and without, either way it is the clouds that matter to me..
I venture to say that the last 3+ years I smoked, I did out of necessity, not pleasure. I hated the taste, I hated the smell, and I certainly hated the expense. But I was hooked, I had to do it, just like the met* I was addicted to so many years ago. I'm a very strong-willed person. If any of that had been "all in my head," I'd have had no problems.
