It used to be stuff for my vaping. It is better than smoking, but still a waste of money. I quit last year though!

Congrats my dude! That nicotine is a hard habit to break and I'm super proud of you for getting out from under it!

I still get cravings. Pretty sure that'll never go away

One day, I ran out of nicotine, and simply stopped adding it to my liquid instead of buying more. Still vaping, but no nicotine. I did vape for 10 years with (small amounts) of nicotine, though. Started with 25mg, but had been at 3mg for many years now.

But you feel guilty about smoking?

I felt guilty spending all that money to literally go up in smoke, going outside to feed that addiction while my wife was inside with our kid.

Now I felt awkward for even asking. But I never saw it that way.
