I did. I smoked from 1988 until 2010’ish and also chewed tobacco from '01 - '10 as well.
A friend had Strawberry Rhubarb vape so I tried it, loved it, then converted to vape. I slowly decreased the nicotine amount until it was 0-nic and then from there I started becoming more strict like no vaping at work, no vaping while driving until it got to the point where I just didn’t vape. Then I got bronchitis.
I got better and then began exercising more. I plateaued and saw a doctor. COPD.
Now I’m just depressed all the time because I apparently have Anhedonia to boot.
So I’m gambling with 20% of my take home in hopes one of these strategies has a huge payout so my wife and kid can be taken care of when I’m gone, which will likely be under a decade.
