I think the urge to smoke will never go away, even after quitting for 3 years. Clearly this is not an addiction built upon a substance. It is more of a behaviour - to respond to stress by watching adult entertainment, eating candy or taking substances.
Nicotine itself is not harmful to the body, only all the other substances in the classic cigarette are the problem.
But the experience with e-cigarettes isn't comparable to a real cigarette. With normal cigarettes I would wait until the urge build up and then I release during smoking. With e-cigarettes I start to vape earlier and don't wait for peaks. But the smoking during a stress peak is the better experience for me.
If you then report how it changes your productivity then there is another mental side on the action.
The more often I went on and off from smoking the less I believed in the changes it created upon my life. The only change that remains would be the impact on my lungs. Still, stress is a killer too and I haven't found a way to cope with stress other than doing the things I mentioned in my first sentence.
