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 ����, 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.
