The FDA has approved seven treatments for smoking cessation, including patches, gums and lozenges. Vapes are not among them, said Dr. Elisa Tong, an associate professor of medicine at the University of California-Davis.
“What they’re doing is trying to taper down super high levels of nicotine,” she said. “Unfortunately, manufacturers don’t have a manual on how to quit their devices.” “Young people are fumbling in the dark with what seems logical,” Graham said. “But there is no safe level of cigarette smoking.” But because his Juul is always glued to his palm, he found himself using it everywhere and all the time.He switched back to cigarettes this year after noticing his growing addiction, but that only resulted in his using both. Now he’s trying different vaping pens, looking for something less harsh than the Juul or cigarettes, he said.
Both were stupid affirmation to begin with.
I wonder how much tobacco lobby money it took for you guys to post this story, 50 times in the last 3 weeks 🤔
Traded one type of nicotine for another to quit using nicotine, now have to quit that source of nicotine for another so I can quit using nicotine...say what?
These devices were supposed to be a god send. As smoking is being banned everywhere people are turning to these devices. Government has influenced this change in society. They want everyone off of cigarettes and sugar. People would have no choice but to turn to mental medicines.
🙄
How about quit smoking all together Dumb ass
Use a Hypnotist jaieva WellnessCanada_
EXELLENT😀😀😀
My Aunty smoked at a young age and quit cigarettes cold turkey at the age of 83. If you want to quit - there are no excuses, you just stop. This guy finishing a whole cartridge in 3 hours!!? Is he using it like a dying person uses an oxygen tank to help them breathe?
Stopping the use of vaporizers because some Tide pod eating kids are vaping THC oil & getting sick will directly cause millions more cases of lung cancer. History will show this as shortsighted as banning DDT & directly causing millions of deaths due to malaria from mosquitoes.
It’s a mad, mad world. Like, stop smoking.
When is this not on the company but the individual and their will to quit? I know it’s not easy but I also know that it’s not the Tabacco co or vape instrument producers fault that you decided to pick up and use? Am I crazy?
Whomever said that is an imbecile and a liar. Cigarettes ate far more addictive than any vape product legally sold in America.
I hear crack cocaine takes the edge off.
One of three things: 1) Big tobacco paying this person 2) This person is an idiot or 3) A combination of 1 & 2. My bet is a combination but leaning heavily on 2.
That's because you are a M O R O N ! ! ! A shining example of a..
Buck up and stop both. Yes, it is not easy. But you'll be glad, proud, and save a lot of time and money. Pick up guitar playing or something. Fill in that void so you don't notice. Yes, I'm a former. Years and years ago. Try hypnosis. Anything.
Kicking nicotine is worse than herion. Proven way 2 kick it. Go without 4 three days, not one puff or drag. It’s a test of will power, it’s the nicotine that has you hooked, craving the next inhale about every 15, 20 minuets. Go one day, only two more, then one. You’ve beat it
Media fear mongering-
To stop drinking liquor, will you drink more beer?
Nobody in their right mind gives a 💩.
Is there a bigger waste of time This boygirl just needs a reason to get hisher 5 minutes. Get real life problems then get back at me!!
Instead of posting the same article 200 times Does flint have clean water yet? Common sense guns laws passed? What about Puerto rico?
Give me a break, NBC has been pushing the nonsense conflating death and illness being caused by almost entirely black and gray market THC vaping with being as bad as flavored, regulated, nicotinic eliquid, just like every other FDA mouthpiece.
So how many times are you going to run this? This is like posting 200 Get real
How is this news?
zzsmiller Oh dear
How do we get you to quit that headband?
She's a handsome woman.
interesting- -one juul cartridge is one pack of cigarettes mine lasted 5 months- am on the second one--
Buck up buttercup! Whoosy cry baby. Started smoking at 19 quit cold turkey at 53 yrs of age. Our country is going to implode from all these cry babies and do-gooders.
Here’s an idea, instead of smoking, eat a carrot 🥕
People just want attention. Smh
Yeah.. that dude looks like he'd become addicted to anything
Cool story bro
Brought to you by Altria and Philip Morris, USA.
Kids trying to appear mature, risking their health...stupid, but try to tell them that when they smoke E cigs or real cigs.
Pasty white skin a symptom of an addict.
Always always do your research.
Doesn’t seem like either one of them is helping with the quitting.
Big tobacco likes the sound of that.
I think we got it the first 139 times you tweeted this out.
Is that a manly chick or an effeminate dude?
“Bought a brain to be smart. Now I’m using my smartness to quit my brain.”
Gee, no one ever saw this coming. masshysteria
Smoke pot
😂😂😂
Professional quitter here. Severe nicotine addict. Can tell you how many attempts to quit I’ve made. I suggest patches and lozenges at the same time. Think my last cigarette was 5 years ago.
tell him to watch this.
Wait until you try to kick opioids.
First world problems.
Idiots.
OldContryMuscFn Well of course they are going to go to cigarettes 80% of the underage juul and vape folks have zero clue that it contains nicotine. That or they think nicotine is safe which it isn't seeing as it constricts blood flow.
Hipster says whaaaaaat?
TheOnion
Why interview idiots?
The power is yours. What you believe. The vape and the cigarettes are traps to domesticate you
Is this the most anecdotal headline ever?
Lol maybe the issue is your problem solving skills?
Combustible tobacco lobbyist are convincing these people to give up vaping just because less than 10 people got very ill or died from trying to score illegal drugs on the street. The problem is the war on marijuana. Not vaping. Vaping is much better for you than smoking.
whistleblower said that he would get aborted babies still alive, cut open their chests and find their hearts still beating. He also told perhaps the single most crushing abortion story ever to see the light of day
He traded one dangerous addiction for another.
This is stupid. Cigarettes cost about $200 more a month and are worse for you than cigarettes. Look...I know the Big Tobacco companies are hurting due to vaping but it seriously is better than cigarettes.This sounds like BS.
Maybe, maybe...the cigarettes industry created vaping just to get to this effect...
How about give up both ? Hmm, common sense here
I feel like there's a solution to this that involves Chinese needle snakes, gorillas, and freezing cold winters.
Hmmm. I wonder if they will be called dirty addicts and told they should just die. The way people do with heroin addicts. Have sympathy for all who are addicted, in whatever form. Nobody asks for it and sometimes the wrong choice in the last one.
Why not just quit both , dah!!!
Use a patch and switch to a 3% nicotine vape instead of the double-digit percentages of a Juul pod. And stop blaming everyone and everything else for your decisions.
addicion is addiction! Total BS to use Juul vaping to quit cigarettes doesn’t work & got kids addicted! Who knew Vaping was toxic, inhaling unknown chemicals into your lungs could be bad- everyone! 🙄🙄🙄
Why don't you just try being sober.
Just don't smoke or vape anything, that's the message, don't trade one addiction for another.
Willie Nelson smoke 3 packs a day, one morning he up and rolled 20 joints. He hasn’t smoked a cigarette in 27 yrs!
They should smoke weed instead😉
There is a 3rd option. Can’t play victim here.
This shit is fake.. stop tweeting it 4 times a week!
🙄 right
Cigs are way cooler tbhh
Maybe stop both?🤷♂️
Capitalism is a vicious circle
Try smoking weed.
You're weak bro. Been there done that.
I started smoking again to get off nicotine lozenges. Finally quit the only way that I believe truly works. Cold turkey and gutted it out. The first week was hard but the second not nearly as hard. It can be done!
Quit both
No pal you’ve just started smoking again , own it 🙄
ummm attention teenagers smoking products is illegal for you, everyone knows that. its your fault for using them, then you want to complain and sue the companies like Juul nobody forced you to buy those ecigarettes or regular cigarettes
If you're going to smoke you should go back to the regular cigarettes of course in 2014 I warned my clients about this
If someone is smoking cigarettes to stop smoking they have problems and should probably be institutionalized not given a platform with NBC.
they should start doing eggplants
Posted ad nauseam. Let it GO.
Smoke weed instead.
why not just quit, why do people need something in their mouth to satisfy them
They need to go back to the way I quit nicotine. Pick a date & quit cold turkey. Yes it's hard & took me 4 tries but it's worth it. You don't need to worry that what you're using to help you might be worse for you.
NBC you do know that with vaping you can get less nicotine and keep lowering it till you ween yourself off
Which is exactly what the tobacco industry wanted.
How many times we going to see this?
People that addicted to anything need therapy.
Why anyone thought e-cigarettes would help them quit anything. It’s still nicotine. There really is no safe alternative. Just quit.
No worries we’ve got your smokes, but at a cost ... taxes on cigarettes disproportionately harms low income folks. Pack in Chicago $14-16, meanwhile a pack in Indiana is about 6....
Sounds stupid doesn't it....how about a tellysavalas lolly pop and nicotine patch DUMMY
Which confirms my initial opinion on people. Today they’re all fucked in the head. How about doing none of it?!
😂😂😂😂Wow
Such a wise young man!
Smoke weed. Fool.
Become a contortionist and inhale your own hot air
Cant fix stupid
maybe try crack or booze to quit cigarettes again
who needs a spine ? dude is weak
Boo fucking whoooooo, have some discipline and quit the habit. No one feels bad for you.
The reason he bought juul was to quit cigarettes. It succeded, i dont understand the reasoning why he would then smoke cigarettes to quit juul?. Some times the problem is low intelligence and nothing else. Ok?
And I'm drinking so I'll forget that I ever read that. Are people really this naive?
Curious, are other nations affected with vaping to the extent the United States is? If yes, how are they addressing it?
How about man up and stop that self destructive habit.
How about trying not smoking?
Yeah, like I smoke crack to alleviate my crystal meth addiction...give me a break!
Maybe try not smoking at all? NotJudgmental RestoreCommonSense Smokingkills
PFTCommenter !!!
well one of them is being outlawed while the other one isn't... hmmm which one do you think is being outlawed? jimcramer
ialhusseini Patch, gum, see MD (wellbutrin, etc), find smoking cessation program first.
He looks like mark zuccerberg on meth
Here's an idea ... STOP SMOKING
Just quit. We’ll make it easier for you by banning smoking/vaping in public places.
Killer cigarettes are sold everyday, no protests. 22M current smokers who will tax the Medicare and Medicaid systems because of many health problems.
There's a reason cigarettes are called cancer sticks...and people still want to smoke that crap...smh
Time to grow a backbone, hmmm?
I'm pretty sure that smoking is the worst option. I'd try nicotine gum first.
Why would he go back to cigarettes idiot
Well, I quit using BLU ecigerette. I don't smoke either now. Not sure what they expected by overdoing everything as usual.
Ummm cigarettes kill about 400k people a year ....... go ahead I guess
I smoked cigarettes for 20 years. I looked into vaping when I decided to quit. I don’t get it. Vaping and smoking are two completely different things. Might as well suck on a PixieStix, they have about as much in common.
Or just quit...
Ah yes, the circle of life
Hold on a second, I just found a guy for the bridge I’ve been looking to sell.
Nobody is teaching common sense anymore?
Or just quit.
NewsFlash: Breathing anything but air is bad for you.
Chew some gum. Damn
Let's put this in the don't fucking care file.
perhaps he should quit altogether? he is lazy and to say I can't help myself is not only stupid and yes, he will die young. his choice JUULisOVER
No, your inability to seek help to stop your addiction did that. I know idiots who still think vap is a cigarette replacement without nicotine, and Juul still does ads promoting that idea.
First, these aren’t victims, these are morons. Next, if companies break laws targeting minors, punish them. Lastly, government should’nt be a nanny or cherry pick vices to allow. The fact government decides to use vices as $ engines through tax is insulting & hypocritical.
The nicotine gum would be a better choice. It allows for a step down process. If you don’t have the willpower to quit cold turkey, it can help.
Patches and gum have been around forever. Give them a try instead of continuing to inhale chemicals 🙄
Smoke crack instead
Your choice. Choose responsibly....
So what, now can we get back to getting to bottom of Trump's nefarious criminal acts?
big tobacco lives on...
if you want to quit something, just stop doing it. picking up another is just an excuse to continue your bad habits
Two starts don't make a stop.
Stop with the bullshit propaganda, or at least including the Juul with regular vaping. The Juul is owned by big tobacco, and has more ingredients in the juice than regular juice. To compare the two is ridiculous and ignorant. vapingsavedmylife
Right because cigarettes never killed anyone. Worse and cost 5 times more. Way to go.
This kinda reminds me of the people I knew who started dipping to quit smoking and eventually just dipped and smoked at the same time.
I used psilocybin to quit smoking. Woke up the next day a non-smoker.
This is bullshit.. big tobacco is behing these fake reports and ads cause their sales have dropped massively! I own smoke shops and never ever had a customer come and bs me!
Is it mean that I don't feel bad for him at all? Nobody forced him to do either.
Just get away from all tobacco & nicotine.
ITS A GAME. QUIT COLD TURKEY
Too bad cigarettes will never come off the shelves. All of these items just keep causing issues. Those who don't smoke can have problems from others around us who are slowly bringing us down with them. I never understood why people smoke to begin with, they know the risks. 🤔
Bullshit!!!
NotTheOnion
Have you noticed that all these disastrous problems have only been happening recently and only with young people? I have been using e-cigs 4/8 years and have never had a problem it seems to me that the young people are putting something else into them that's causing all this
Oh f. off, just quit if you wanna quit - it's clear you're not good at quitting anything. That's not the juuls fault or the cigarettes it's your own
Their problem, not mine. Tax the beJesus out of them, and make it hurt. Next problem, please.
Sounds like a discipline issue
Dont get it. Vape worse than cigarettes? Where is the outrage when people lace their cigs with pcp or other drugs and die? Is this media & govt in bed with big tobacco to protect their profits? Please explain.
How about going cold turkey all together
That’s like trying to quit drinking beer by drinking vodka.
This is the 2nd nonsensical story about vaping NBC News is running this week. You would think they're in the pockets of the tobacco industry or something 🤔
cigarettes need to come off the shelves as well
Big tobacco is behind this. Their sales have been dropping since e-cigs have become popular.
If you want to quit, make an appointment to see your family physician/PA/NP. We can help.
Get a patch. Then see a mental health professional. Your problem truly is all in your head. It surpasses a nicotine addiction.
PFTCommenter
Before Juul existed lots of people found ways to quit smoking. It's nice these people have someone/something else to blame for not quitting. If you really want to quit for financial or health reasons you will. I used hypnosis to stop smoking in 1993 ... have not smoked since.
Some people.🤦🏽♂️
PFTCommenter
I been smoking Cigarettes since I was 12 Today I’m 28 and I quit last summer from two pack a day to better and healthy lifestyle. My point is don’t let a cigarette control your life, if you want to quit have the courage to live through it in daily basis. You Can Do it!
Go Cold Turkey Ya Nancy!!!!
Do these idiots not realise you can vape without nicotine 🙄
Always chasing rainbows...
Could this be as simple as cleaning the Juul between pods?
The plan is working.
Why don’t you please just quit!?
🤦🏼♂️
A smoker's life comes full circle.
Waaaa says the addict
Be a man and stop smoking without The Juul thing, you wasn't born smoking, quit that shit Immediately man .be a man !
Quit Smoking and Quit Vaping both shorten your life.
I smoked from 9 to 29 then one day I just said screw it I'm not paying $3.30 a pack for cigarettes... 16 later I still dont smoke...
ban both
Here’s a concept, quit both.
Anyone else think big Tobacco is happy about this vaping thing going bad?
Man up and stop cold turkey! Simple! Period!
“I’ve given up lung disease for lung disease.”
Wellbutrin can help you quit.
Fools and their addiction substitution....
“Bought cocaine to quit heroine. No I’m doing heroine to quit cocaine”
Warning. I just kept smoking and used traditional means to quit. It’s called Nicorette Lozenges
Please stop all of it! I have a lose friend with lung cancer.
some vapers are dummies bc you can buy vape juice with 0% nicotine. StupidNews
DrJenCaudle its sad how the young generation has fallen. Its really sad.. When people like me gave warnings before the lung cancer cases and deaths and nobody listen, until now.
Awwwww burp
This is the dumbest person that you can find, to write a story on, in an effort to demonize the vape industry. The tobacco lobby out here doin its job...
I smoked cigarettes for 16 years and quit for good 11 years ago. I understand nicotine addiction perfectly well. Cold turkey is the best way to get off of nicotine no matter how hard it is. Replacing tobacco with vaping is not the answer.
Americans google e cig and vaping they were supported and financially paid for by big tobacco industry. From the beginning this was there object get kids hooked on nicotine down payment on their future customers.
It takes a special kind of retard to do what he did. it takes a special kind of dishonesty from the press to frame this as being the norm.
Not just a nicotine patch?
Lmao what a smart dude. “Smoking cigarettes to quit vaping” can you believe this guy 😂
I bet he thinks holding a job is difficult too.
Idiots and their addiction substitution...
Get some gum, get some mints and quit.
My best friend was a 2-pack a day smoker. He stunk, teeth yellow, breath terrible, skin awful, health clearly failing. He switched to JUULvapor & gave up cigs. Health returned, skin & teeth cleaned up, vitality returned. Juul probably saved Matt’s life. HarmReduction works
When did NBC get a satire section, lol.
First World problem.
......uh huh. It's the attention addiction that really needs to be addressed....
Now that's comedy.
So much stupid
Loser
How much did they pay you?
He should switch to American Spirits they’re organic.
This is exactly what I pictured someone saying this to look like. 😂😂
I’ll take what is an TheOnion headline for $200, Alex
Or he could, you know, maybe just quit. Like, actually force himself to do something difficult. Guess what, it can be done.
That is the coolest looking hipster I’ve seen ❤️
Take drugs that big pharma has invented like Chantix....that’s what they want
All these Juul commercials on tv are making me want one. Looks so cool! I'm 14.
Yeah, stupid people get confused easily
Wah!
I'll just stick with my meth, thank you very much.
That is so dumb........ really?
Maybe have some intestinal fortitude and quit both.
Haha . Not funny I’m doing the same thing . I’ll take my chances with a dart
BS
Can't fix stupid
Chew Nicorette gum and put a cinnamon stick in your mouth
Are you insane? Enabling people going back to smoking with fakenews (those illnesses are linked to illicit THC with lipids added by stupid dealers)… You are MerchantsOfDoubts. Next article about the guy who used to put a condom to have sex but is back to giving STDs?
IT’S OVER
CarpeNoctom Lol
That’s the plan
Click-bait
Quit cold turkey or get the niccorette patches. A d you may live longer... was that Not a taught option yet millenials?
Duuuhhhh. Get some professional help for your addiction instead of replacing one addiction with another.
So, you're screwed either way?
I think weed gets you off everything. Regular weed.
This is why I never took up vaping.
All because of propaganda. I guess the tobacco lobbyist won this round.
How about we focus on what’s important. Hint, it’s not vaping it’s all the fucked up shit in and around the White House
I vape. I have been for the past 4 years now. Not once have I ever reverted back to smoking cigarettes (I used to smoke about a pack a day). What makes no sense is how they're claiming to be 'protecting young people' with this ban, yet do nothing about tobacco and alcohol. 🤔
He needs some 🌞!
PFTCommenter cut his hair?
RTMannJr ...aaand who told you? oh Juul did.... Juuls CEO just needs to extend his apology media tour a bit, then alls good.
How about just put it all down and don’t smoke nothing. Thats what I did. Haven’t smoked in 8 years
That guy is weak.
This is BS. I quit smoking 4 yrs ago and went to vaping. I didn't use Juul and would never do it. I smoke 12mg nicotine and have weaned down to 3mg. I buy from reputable vape stores online, and they always confirm my age. So this guy giving you this line is wrong.
This is either a straight up lie OR it's a fucking straight up lie
I quit 30 years ago cold turkey. It took three attempts, but was able to finally call it quits forever! Hardest thing I ever did in my life, but you can do it if you really want to!
SylviaZ1913 Well at least you can still buy an assault weapon legally. 🙄😒
Quit cold Turkey. It was hard as hell but I pushed through and chewed the hell out of some cinnamon gum and atomic fire balls. Going on 7 years smoke free!
Some folks will smoke almost anything.
just quit nicotine addiction withdrawal lasts 7 days. the first 3 are the worst.
Great job nanny staters
Sounds like a personal problem
Quitters never win.
This is a nightmare all around
Try Chantix and nicotine patches. Safer
CarpeNoctom HumansOfLate
Just exactly what I suspected!!! e-cigarettes sold as a 'clean cigarette,' or a way to 'quit smoking.' What a joke!!!!
Ping pong ping pong. Nicotine is extremely addictive and obv hard to quit. Juul is promoted to lessen lung cancer risks and COPD. Long term effects really are unknown
Lost your self control have you?
Circulus vitiosus.
Ray Liotta quit smoking with Chantix
I just quit cold turkey
This is fantastic marketing
They all sound like perfect candidates for suicide
That's not how any of this works.
eCigarettes are a joke anyway. You're not really using them to quit smoking and actually you're probably getting more nicotine than with real tobacco!!! What do you want to bet that tobacco companies are behind eCigarettes, they just changed their mode of deception.
so would nicotine gum, a patch or chew. lets not blame the delivery system for the bad choice smokers made to become addicted.
Or just quit both..... it is possible.
Just quit
Excuses. Want to quit nicotine, just stop.
Brought to you by your favorite tobacco corporation.
There are medications that help. Imagine if everyone had healthcare and could access them.
Bullshit this is to make normal vaping look bad who is paying this tool?
Great, the media has convinced people to go back to smoking. How about using something other than a Juul and tapering instead?
Wow, there sure are a lot of morons in this story. Literally none of these people knew you can step down the nicotine content in a vape to quit cigarettes like I did years ago with nicotine free peppermint? Seems unlikely. Seems ill researched or bad intent by the article author
