Basic strategy I read in hypnotism books learn a hypnotic experience that you enjoy more than smoking
Sometimes they have people do breathing exercises without smoking plus the hypnotic experience and tell them you can enjoy breathing clean air
Also it might be that nicotine in small doses might not be bad for you but tobacco and the added ingreduents in tobacco and vape products are bad for you
Maybe nicotine chewing gum or nicotine patches might be safer for your lungs
@zerosum
I do not know the mechanism for how the nicotine in nicotine patches is delivered and maybe there is a safety issue with that
Chewing tobacco supposedly spreads mouth cancer but I suspect that is the tobacco and not the nicotine
Maybe nicotine gum is the safest
With vaping or smoking other people do not consent if they inhale the fumes
