I've never smoked/vaped and I do not plan to anytime soon, but I'm curious of how quitting is like once you're addicted.

I still dream about smoking sometimes. At first I was worried that it was my own weakness and that I was going to back to smoking. Now I also get mad at myself for the dreams because I don't even want a cigarette, why the fuck does my brain keep putting them in my dreams? I swear I can still smell them in my dreams and it's gross lol. I hope that will go away one day too.

Also, I would like to double down on your encouragement. Quit! Please quit as soon as physically possible. You and everyone around you will be glad you did. There are so many paths available now. If you are in Canada you might be able to get free help if you talk to a pharmacist. I didn't pay anything for my Champex because the government wants us to quit too. I didn't think that I could do it either- I'm the weakest motherfucker you could dream of and here I am, cigarette free since 2019.
