    I did the same except I just started chewing smaller and smaller pieces of nicotine gum until one day I was taking such tiny nibbles that I thought to myself, “this is stupid”, spit it out, and that was that. Been nicotine-free for 8 years now.

      Didn’t you get post-a-few-months cravings? Not physical but mental ones. I swear my brain manipulates me, one time I even took a piece of paper and started weighting the pros and cons AND “I” FOUND MORE PROS???

        Unfortunately I can’t relate. Never had any issues with feeling the need to have something in my mouth or in my hands. But that’s probably cause I was smoking (and then eventually vaping) weed for a lot longer than I was a tobacco smoker. So I guess the cannabis takes care of the oral fixation. I basically replaced cigarettes and Juuls with joints and live resin pens.
