We just did it casually at the start.

But we started buying our own.

And doing it in private.

Or was it in secret?

When did it become compulsive?

Necessary, even?

See ya!

Maybe it’s time to ask:

Why are we still doing this?

Rather than trying to say all the right things the first time, consider your conversations a work in progress.

Like trying to quit vaping, it might take a few goes, but once you start talking to each other, it is easier to keep talking openly.

During the conversation, remember to listen actively, provide accurate information and don't exaggerate.

Talk about peer pressure, health and take time to explain your concerns.

You're probably all aware of the health risks of vaping. But have you ever considered or thought about the environmental impacts of vaping?

Vapes pose a triple threat to the environment.

Plastic pollution, hazardous battery waste, and chemical contamination.

But vaping doesn't just harm us, it actually disrupts the delicate ecosystems and endangers our marine wildlife.

E-cigarrete batteries contain hazardous heavy metals like lead and mercury, when these batteries end up in landfill, they leak into the soil and water, contaminating our environment.

Let's preserve our environment and live harmoniously with nature, free from the shackles of vaping.

Quitting vaping can be tough, but please use this as one of the many reasons to quit or cut back.

And remember, support is always available.

[Vapes, mods, Juuls, e-cigarettes - they're all terrible for your health and for the planet. But have you ever considered what's actually inside your vape? Because I'll give you a hint, it's not all watermelon and strawberries.
 

Vapes are a chemical cocktail. The e-liquid alone can contain over 200 unique chemicals. Things like chlorine that's found in pool cleaners. Acrolene which is found in weed killer. Formaldehyde, which is found in cleaning products and some disinfectants. Arsenic, which is used in poisons. Benzene, which you'll see in bug spray.

Mercury, which is the metal found in batteries. And then why not add in some extra flammable lithium batteries? Don't forget the metal or plastic casings. And what about the plastic mouthpiece? And then to top it all off, why not add some extra wires on top for a bit of decorative spice? Mix it all together and you really wouldn't really want to drink that.
 

When vapes are littered or go into landfill, they contaminate the environment with all of these poisons. This waste takes centuries to break down. Heaps of people have already quit vapes and you can too. There are a range of supports out there so that you can quit vaping for good.]
