No Man's Land, Studies just revealed by LA Times

I just read a post from Ron from 2002 and 

https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/groups/best-of-ex/blog/2011/05/24/no-mans-land-days-30-to130-appr...

The following is a link to a study that confirms the extra strong cues to smoke after the first month quit and into the next few months. 

Also yesterday, 11/19/19 I read an article from LA Times 

Juul took a page from Big Tobacco to revolutionize vaping - Los Angeles Times 

Not sure if the link works, but it's there. What i am trying to do is to educate myself about how I got hooked as a kid. 

"A review by the Los Angeles Times of more than 3,000 pages of internal Juul records, obtained by the Food and Drug Administration and released to a researcher through the Freedom of Information Act, found that the concept behind the formula that makes Juul so palatable and addictive dates back more than four decades — to Reynolds’ laboratories".

Anyway, long story short, what ever I am addicted it, it is an addiction, and it is prudent for me to read as much as possible on it. So if anyone can share any other resources, I would appreciate it. Thank you

You got hooked because Big Tobacco and the vaping producers designed their products to be addictive - on purpose..  The cigarette manufacturers actually put cough suppressants in cigarettes to mask your bodies natural response to the noxious smoke.

Here is a bit on addiction:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpWMgPHn0Lo&feature=youtube.

You might visit whyquit.com, quitsmoking.com and livewell.com for the good information contained there.

There is no shortage of information out there.  Education is important to a successful quit.  Keep at it!!!

I've actually watched people fail during those first 4 months for the past 12 years and put it together.

Knowing about it got me through it.

It's my main theme.

ladybug confirmed it not too long ago.
