No magic trick: a plan for the moments that make you reach for the vape.
Get rid of every vape, pod, liquid and charger: home, car, bag, jacket pockets. If it is not there, you cannot grab it.
Each time you want to vape, note what triggered it: stress, boredom, after eating, friends vaping. You are collecting data, not judging yourself.
A craving rises, peaks and fades, usually within a few minutes. Breathe slowly through it (in 4 seconds, hold 4, out 4, hold 4). You do not have to act on it.
Keep sugar-free gum, mints, a toothpick, a straw or a water bottle on you, and use it every time you reach for a vape that is not there.
Text one friend that you quit. Being accountable to someone helps at the hard moments.
Pick your top trigger and write one line: "If [trigger], then I will [action]." Example: "If I finish lunch, then I walk for 5 minutes."
One puff is not a reason to give up. If it happens, notice what triggered it and restart right away.

Start my quit plan →A single craving usually rises, peaks and fades within a few minutes. Riding it out with slow breathing or a short walk is a common strategy.
One slip does not undo your progress. Note the trigger, then restart. Many people need more than one attempt to quit for good.
If nicotine withdrawal feels hard, nicotine replacement (patch, gum, lozenge) can help: ask a pharmacist or doctor. In the US, 1-800-QUIT-NOW connects you to a free quitline.
