So I'm trying something different this time in regards to quitting. I bought a pack of clove cigs off amazon, these are tobacco and nicotine free. Going to see how long I can go without nicotine and HOPEFULLY the clove cigs at least trick my brain into thinking I'm getting my nic fix. Three days is the threshold to pass for the chemical to leave your body and brain so maybe this will bridge the gap.

I have leftover patches and gum if the cravings get too severe and I need one for my mental health.

    Hey if the cloves aren't to your taste my friend uses cigs made from hemp (have you heard of those? I hadn't) to get her by when the cravins hit. I tried one, liked it. it was waay close to tobacco taste compared to cloves. I could ask her the brand if youre interested

    Sure I'd be interested. I actually have a rolling machine in my house that I got for free in rehab.

      Ey, she got back to me. Looks like she likes two brands, Wild Hemp and Redwood. Looking at the packs i think i tried the Redwood brand but neither of us remember for sure.

      I had forgotten they have various degrees of CBD in them. I don't know if that's a dealbreaker

          I had no idea Amazon sold any hemp cigs until your comment made me check that out. They sell a lot of other brands of hemp cigs but i have a hunch that's not news to you ha! Good luck on quitting also, i have a nasty vape habit i haven't even tried to break recently.

            Ok, I'll root around then. Yeah vaping is honestly more addictive than smoking. With cigs I average about 6 a day while vaping I can do it from the moment I wake up until bed, and even sometimes I sneak it in getting up to pee in the middle of the night.
