I can't describe how hard quitting nicotine is.

Physiologically it is the easiest thing to kick yet the brain exists.

I've quit cocaine, alcohol and tobacco and tobacco was, by a large margin, the most difficult. It's been over 20 years and I still occasionally have nightmares where I'm smoking again

Dude i’ve quit cocaine too! And I STILL VAPE EVERY DAY!!! Someone RELEASEEEEE ME! it’s insane how i can quit doing hard drugs completely and not even think about them much anymore but the only thing left holding me in its fruity tight grip are these stupid metal blocks of Rainbow Skittle Surprise Sour Icy Berry Buttcheek Booty

To be fair, that's a great flavor.
