    It has the benefit of putting something in your mouth, and preserving the smoking ritual. Which is as important for many smokers as nicotine.
    It’s not without reason that it became so popular in the few years since it went mainstream.

      Just offer them a dick to suck on along with the nicotine gum/patches /s

      (For real though, sucking dick can be quite meditative)

      To be clear it has become popular as a substitute for (or adjunct to) smoking. As a quitting aid it isn’t especially effective, even if slightly more effective than NRT.

      I must say in my practice I haven’t seen anyone quit using vapes, it just becomes a substitute.

        I’ve quit both, and the first step was controlling the amount of nicotine I was inhaling. Once that went away I weened off all the other little triggers and cravings I want even aware of until I got hit with them.
