If you've never smoked and tried to stop(even if that meant resorting to vaping to keep you off cigarettes), then you're probably not in a position to understand the bodies craving for nicotine and how long that craving can take to cease.

Nowhere near as long as most people think.
Not as quick as the title of this app / book (2 hours - that's the time to listen to it and understand it).
Well done for quitting smoking and vaping. I smoked like the proverbial but gave up decades ago - partly the cost and partly the increased awareness of the damage it does to our bodies.

no idea about that particular book

but i use to smoke and then went to vaping ( which conveniently allowed me to smoke indoors, which massively increased my nicotene intake, making it even harder to quit)
but i read alan carrs, easy way to quit smoking and ive never vaped or smoked since

I just find it very ironic that summat brought out to help get off an addictive substance, then becomes the addictive substance.
The two greatest marketing ploys of all time, bottled water and vapes, you don't need either but billions are made off 'em every year.

I've smoked for years and stop whenever I like. I have never understood people saying they cant give it up but appreciate it is hard for people. I smoke if I go for a pint and have some in my desk drawer. I will sometimes have one outside in the garden if its a nice day and I want to get out of the office or if a customer comes who smokes, but I could stop tomorrow if I wanted to. I guess some people are more prone to addiction than others but thankfully I've always been able to take it or leave it.

One thing I am though is respectful to other people and would never light up outside a coffee shop or pub if there was someone at the near tables that are not smoking themselves. People who vape seem to think its acceptable wherever they are, on trains, football stadiums, inside pubs.

I did that for some years, thinking it didn't affect me that much.. then I went training cross-fit with one of my daughters, and threw up in a bin. Knocked all smoking on the head for good just over a year ago. Miss it a bit sometimes, goes well with a morning coffee, but feel better for it.

What gets me with the water Ric is that when we was kids all water went through lead pipes and it's never done me any harm. :emoticon-0145-shake

Probably put extra lead in your pencil by the sound of things.
