Is VELO harder to quit than ZYN?
VELO's higher max strength (7mg vs 6mg) can make it slightly more challenging for heavy users, but the quit process is similar. The key is understanding your personal usage patterns.
How do I step down from VELO 7mg?
Gradually transition to 4mg for 1-2 weeks, then to 2mg. This staged approach reduces withdrawal severity significantly.
