We've come down to the park to chat to some former vapers to get some tips on how to quit.
What was it that made you quit vaping?
The obvious fact that the nicotine is in there.
You have no idea what you're actually taking in.
What was the experience like for you quitting vaping?
It was pretty tough, I'm not going to lie.
Especially when, like, everyone around you vapes and it's just so like, natural to like, our everyday routine.
Did you use any devices to kind of help you quit?
I did try the toothpick method, but that didn't really work.
Definitely one thing I used was, like, gum.
Found gum actually did.
Yeah, I'm literally chewing right now.
Obnoxiously chewing.
I like to meditate, and I found that really helpful.
What advice would you give to someone who's thinking about quitting?
Oh, do it. Even if you keep failing, just try again.
I'm not going to sugarcoat it and say that it's going to be easy, but yeah, I think it's it is worth it.
