If I can offer you one piece of advice on quitting tobacco it’s this: Understand that it may be possible that you don’t succeed at quitting on your first attempt. That is okay. Most people don’t succeed quitting on their first attempt. What is important is that you keep trying to quit.
There are many different strategies for quitting. Mine involved switching to vaping and mixing my vape juice so that I gradually weened myself off of the Nicotine two years later. Prior to that I tried using Rx Chantix which worked until my prescription ran it course. I also tried the gum with very little success, but that’s not to say it won’t work for you, it might.
Nebraska got weed and another state elected the first openly transgender U.S. Representative. Also Tlaib retained her seat.
Also I learned a grade school classmate won a state rep seat in one of the midwest swing states earlier and that’s good news to me, at least.
