    Not literature, just an anecdote from someone experienced with both ignition based and vaped nicotine;

    I find a combination of both tapering off and cold turkey to be best. When I know I’m coming to a stop, I’ll eek out what I have left and then commit to going cold turkey. The first three days of no nicotine always suck the most, but after that, every day is just slightly easier, until you eventually get to the point where you realise you’re not really missing it.

    Once you’ve been addicted to nicotine, you never really stop wanting it, but after a while you become ok with the idea of not needing it. The only reason I gave up was because I realised I was essentially paying a subscription to feel normal, it wasn’t even pleasurable anymore.

    My best advice is never try it, but to each there own, I’d never tell anyone what should or shouldn’t go in to their body.
