The Nicotine Trap
The Nicotine Trap
How I Quit, Why You Can Too
by JJ
Dedication
For the next one.
The one who’s sick of being hooked.
The one who forgot what life felt like without the pouch, the vape, the pull.
You’re stronger than they want you to believe.
This one’s for your freedom.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
TO EVERYONE STILL in it — I see you.
To everyone who got out — I respect you.
To everyone who profits from it — I’m not writing this for you.
Special thanks to the real ones who held space while I unraveled and rewired.
To my body, my brain, and my breath: I’m sorry. Thank you. I’m back now.
