2 months for me, but I don't know if it counts. I switched to vaping after smoking for 25 years.
Have not had a real smoke in 8 weeks.....

Hang in there man. It took me 3 times for the quitting to stick. Its now been 15 years.

Vaping isn't quitting.

Stick it out brother. After 3 days, its all out of your system, now its a mental game.

.....and after 7 days you're home free! At least that was how it worked for me. After about a week the urge or habit of reaching into my front shirt pocket and grabbing a smoke was much easier to resist and I wasn't thinking about smoking / not smoking constantly. Good Luck!

Vaping isn't quitting, but it can be a step in the right direction.

Agreed. I haven't had a cigarette since March. I've gone from 18 mg nicotine down to 3 mg. The next bottles will be 0 mg, and quitting vaping altogether. I've tried the patch, gum, pills, cold turkey, and I've always gone back to smoking.

After that time of being without cigarettes, the positive side was that I hadn't killed anyone in the first 30 days, but I had gained about 40 lbs. All that being said, giving up the cancer sticks was the best thing I ever did for myself, besides picking a great wife.

Vaping isn't quitting.

That depends, I view it as a crutch not all that dissimilar from nicotine gums and patches. But yes, if his long term plan is to substitute one bad addiction/habit for another... he is not quitting.

Good for you man. Nothing worked for me. All the pills, gums, patches, etc. I ended up just as addicted as ever until I finally made up my mind that I was done being a slave to a substance. At that point I was able to quit cold turkey. Do not let you convince yourself that you can have one and that its ok days or weeks from now. It's not ok. You are throwing away all the successes you've enjoyed up to that point. Every single time I gave into those voices when I had a ****ty & stressful day... I started out with the intentions of 'just having one'... I ALWAYS ended up a regular smoker before a week had passed.
