I am desperate to stop vaping. My chest hurts constantly. I've been addicted fo nicotine for 20 years. I'm 34 and thats disgusting. I hate it. But no matter how many times i try to quit vaping, I get a few hours in and convince myself its not that bad and i'm back to square one. Quitting vaping seems so much harder than cigarettes. I don't know what to do. I have an 8 month old and I know I need to stop for her but i get so overwhelmed (postpaturm depression/anxiety)

Im the same OP. I've downloaded Alan carr easy way to quit vaping but haven't started it yet. I was also toying with buying a nicorette inhalator but they are really expensive.

Been vaping 10 years now, (smoked for about 10 years before that) and the thing never leaves my mouth and I'm so worried about any damage I've done to my poor lungs

I'm just starting my stop smoking journey - second time round, previously stopped after doing Alan Carr but been back on about 6years. I'm keen to do it again now for a number of factors - a) hate the smell on my clothes & hair, b) health & TTC, c) image, d) financial. Just downloaded the NHS app, best of luck to you all 💪

It is so so hard! Not helped by vapes being available absolutely everywhere. I’m a week in, having stopped a million times before for a few days/week I’m determined I’m going to stop for good this time. No one knows I vape and I’m so ashamed of it…I’ve found nicotine chewing gum helpful for when a craving hits, and avoiding places I could buy a vape. The first couple of days were definitely the worst, now I’m not thinking of it anything like as much. Good luck.
