Vaping is actually harder to quit than cigarette smoking for most people . Does that mean that cigarette smoking is fairly easy to quit for most people .
All of them generally circle back to increasing dopamine and or norepinephrine in order to offset some of the withdrawal symptoms of smoking sensation or vaping cessation . A very common approach for people to try and quit smoking or vaping is to use nicotine itself to try and prevent people from seeking nicotine through a cigarette or a Vape pen . What I mean by that is people using a nicotine patch or nicotine gum or other nicotine delivery device that is not cigarettes and not vaping in order to maintain levels of nicotine in their bloodstream , which of course means maintain levels of nicotine in their brain and body to the same extent that they would if they were smoking or vaping , maybe even gradually taking down the total amount of nicotine in their brain and body by reducing the number or size of nicotine gum pieces that they ingest each day or keeping the patch on for a shorter amount of time or getting a lower dose patch that releases less nicotine total or overtime .
Some of it is behind a paywall but given the tremendously negative impact of smoking , vaping , dipping and snuffing the hypnosis for smoking cessation that reverie has seems at least to me as a very powerful and worthwhile resource . So please check that out if you're somebody who's trying to quit ingesting nicotine by any of the four methods that I just described . Now , of course , there are other methods that people have used to successfully quit smoking or vaping or other forms of nicotine delivery .

Some are behavioral and some are pharmacologic . I just wanna touch on the behavioral ones first because it turns out that there's a quite powerful method for quitting nicotine ingestion by way of cigarette smoking , which also carries over to vaping . This is beautiful work that's been done by my colleague , in fact , close collaborator .
