There were a few reasons why I wanted to give up vaping. I could notice the health effects on me when I was exercising. My chest was really tight. I was coughing a lot more, and then there was also the financial costs. I felt like I was just wasting a lot of my money spending it on vapes. 

It took me a couple of attempts to stop vaping.

I think some of my advice would be to just be kind to yourself and just keep trying. Even if you don't make it the first time, that's better than nothing. You can always try again, and then eventually you will get there.
