I did wellbutrin; had to quit nicotine totally so vaping wasn't an option. It was hard but I found it to be not as hard as I thought it would be, and I smoked for a good long time so I thought I was a hopeless case. Sh, I smoked about as long as Leonard Nimoy.
<br />
I had a friend from college who was always on me about it back then so I started messaging him about it for support; figured I'd have to tell him I took the coffin nails up again if I failed.
<br />
I'm good now and another friend told me "remember: you're always 1 smoke away from a pack a day" so I'm not tempted to even fudge a little one Saturday night because I never ever want to go through the hassle of quitting again.
<br />
I tend to have to catch myself and resist becoming an "Apostle of Wellbutrin" anti smoking preacher so I'll just leave it at that; if anybody has any questions about it though let me know.</p>I quit for 15 months now.

Years of drinking bourbon and coffee plus smoking wrecked my stomach. I only drink now because a guy has to have something to look forward to. Im kind of thankful for feeling sick because I think id still be smoking now if it didnt make me feel like crap. So I know how tough it is to quit.</p>
<p>Since I quit smoking, vapping has come on the scene or as some affectionately refer to it as, the electric D. Several of my friends tried switching over, most went back to cigs. For them it wasnt the same. One guy actually said he was pulling on E D so often there was no end. He didnt have that closure like putting a cig out or mental note of pulling another from the pack. So watch out for tendency to overuse. I dont know anyone who has quit completely by switching, but im sure it is possible.</p>I quit smoking about ten years ago because of how sick it made me.
