Vaping totally helped me quit smoking. I just became addicted to the nicotine in vaping instead. What didn't help was the fact that I could vape in places discretely where I could never get away with smoking.

I think it can be helpful for some. I know people who've had success by lowering the nicotine % they vape gradually down to 0

I had a lot of friends go this path. They would mix their own juice. Start at normal cigarette level and then start stepping down till it was virgin juice. Then they finally stopped all together. Some it was a month long journey others it was a year long journey.

This does not work for the disposable vapes though
