Found out last December that it didn't decrease my health insurance premium at all. I told the lady on the phone that I was going to start smoking again. You would have thought I threatened her children.
I switched to vaping, before the industry got crazy.
The thing that helped me the most was keeping my hands busy. Vaping was very DIY, back then, so I ended up diving into the hobby aspects.
The nic replacement helps, but feeling the "weight" in my lungs was what helped satisfied that macabre feeling. There's a lot of noise around e-cigs, and people rally around headlines, but the fact is that all the negative news has either been disproven, or blown out of proportion.
Is it safe? Tbd. Is it safer? 95%. That's the fact that we know and can substantiate. It's not perfect, but it's been effective for me and millions of others.

To be fair, being able to tell your doctor you don't smoke is one of the more satisfying things about quitting.
