Might be some kind of addiction. I suspect because smoking works for me as substitute.

There is nothing, you will have to run the gauntlet of addiction. It isn't pleasant but in the end it is incredibly rewarding. You're basically given your life/freedom back. Quit a 2 pack a day habit cold turkey back in 2009. These days I get nauseous when I'm around smokers and can't believe I was once one of them.

Kid yourself not, smoking is an addiction.

17 years of daily use and stopped just like that without any issue or side effect. I’m trying to quit smoking now, but that seems te be an addiction on another level.

I quit smoking. I'm pretty sure you have never done it.

Why the downvotes? I was a smoker for twenty years, this is exactly how I quit smoking.
