LET'S GET STARTED!

Part 1: REASONS

Write down your top 3 reasons for quitting.

Nicotine

Withdrawal

Nicotine is in most vapes and it’s very addictive. The more you vape, the more your brain and body get used to having nicotine, and the harder it is to stop. Quitting vaping may cause many uncomfortable feelings and strong urges to vape. This is nicotine withdrawal.

Part 2: Dealing with People

Sometimes the people you used to vape with may encourage you to keep vaping. This can be frustrating and discouraging. However, thinking about this ahead of time can help you to prepare a response and stick to your plan.

What will you say if your friends ask you to vape with them?

Set A Date

Part 3: Triggers

Triggers are the things that make you want to vape like people, places etc.  It’s important to be aware of your triggers so you can make a plan to deal with them. Avoid triggers, cravings and other temptations that make you want to vape.
