I wonder if there’s any good ways to quit a vape addiction? Taper off or cold turkey? Any literature on this.
For anyone supporting the use of vapes over ignition based nicotine delivery systems like cigs, we know, it’s healthier. And although vapes remove alot of the carcinogenicity of nicotine products, nicotine still isn’t very healthy and can give one cardiovascular problems/hardened arteries over long term use, not to mention shit like increasing chance for developing glaucoma. There also need to be more regulations over stuff like coils. Alot of disposables or pod based vape pens put out alot metallic particulate matter like nickel, zinc, and copper.
You can try switching to nic pouches like zyn/velo. They’re just powder nicotine from a lab I don’t think they’re tobacco based at all. For me vaping was also a physical addiction, whenever I’m driving or on the toilet or gaming I kept feeling the need to vape. So I dealt with the routine/physical aspect first and then the nicotine.
I was doing really well for about a month but I bought a vape for a night out and it lasted 2 weeks so I gotta taper off again with the pouches.
I think the literature says tapering is more likely to be successful, but I think it depends on the type of person you are, and your reasons for quitting.
I agree. It probably depends on the person. If I’m going to quit a vice, I have to do it cold turkey because I have trouble tapering.
