So when I commute 10 miles or whatever the ride is for....I often beat myself that I couldn't quit. Any suggestion to quit cigs and stay quit? If youre gonna say patches, I have tried that. Its a mental torture. Its not much helping. Hope you can come up with something. Thanks.

This is your formal welcome to BF--you ask for advice, we debate whether you should vape!

Don't take the disagreements on BF too seriously--no one here knows what will work for you and really can only tell you about our experiences. Maybe something rings a bell with you and it ends up working but don't be discouraged if that's not the case.

Keep riding and keep posting! And don't listen to anyone who thinks less of you if you can't quit smoking now.
