    Found distractions like exercise the first few weeks and tried quite af few times before it stuck. I will note though, after I quit I got diagnosed with/started meds for adhd. Turns out most of my withdrawal symptoms were exactly the same as feeling my meds wear off while tapering into them…haven’t had a craving since the meds normalized. Probably would’ve had a way easier time quitting if I’d gotten that diagnosed earlier in life.

      +1, helped me a lot stopping smoking joints. Supposably a lot ADHD people smoke for neurmodulation/dopamine.

        If I remember right the nicotine quit rate is in the single digits for adhd folks so I’d definitely believe it.
