After about 12 (!) quit attempts I have finally stopped smoking cigs!!! I don't even want one, the thought has become "icky". I AM using nicotine though - I switched to those tank system e-cigs called "vaporizers". Every day my desire to use them is slowly diminishing, this is the best approach for me apparently, all the studies that claim otherwise notwithstanding.

Question though - how do I prepare for just not using ANY nicotine anymore? I have such a hard time completely giving it up. Patches, gum and meds have NOT helped me in the past. Perhaps go to a nicotine-free refill?
