Ideally, if you keep resisting you will prevail. If you switch to vaping then you have another addiction to overcome (if you wish) The main issue I believe is that smokers miss the 'throat hit', vaping provides that hit. Downside of vaping is that many believe it's still not 'safe', and they never go out, so you can be vaping non stop. Mrs. Heddy and I switched to vaping around 2 yrs ago, no apparent side effects, no coughing, more energy etc, cheaper, but we're still vaping!
