DR. Ching, has been very professional, and patient with me as I have struggled to stop vaping nicotine in the past few months. I have been honest with her, although, I feel shame for letting her down, I know she is still very proud of me and see that by quring nictoine lazenges I will be able to have zero nicotine in my urine by the 1st week of Janurary.
