Please help me quit vaping

I picked up vaping out of nowhere - I didn't even smoke cigarettes! So stupid.

Anyway, I have a really persistent cough now, and get a painful chest every so often. I'm also spending money I shouldn't.

I'm shocked at how hard it is to give up even though I think I'm causing myself really significant harm.

Any success stories? I want to go cold turkey.

It’s super tough. I went cold turkey when I became pregnant and have managed to quit. It’s so addictive- I will never ever vape again now I’ve managed to stop.
Try limiting yourself to x puffs per hour or set yourself some sort of limit.
when you get the urge to vape go make a herbal tea or a drink and sip that as a distraction.
I literally had to Chuck mine away to stop
myself vaping. It took a couple of weeks but I’d say after 10 days the cravings subsided.
good luck!

if quitting feels impossible, start tracking first. PuffStats helped me take control

I am going through the same process. Have been able to cut down massively by buying flavours I don't like! And feel gradually less dependent on them.
