Vaping Cessation (5 of 10)

Find a quit buddy

Quitting is easier when you have a friend to support you. A quit buddy could be someone who also wants to quit vaping, or someone who does not vape, but wants to help you quit. 

Make goals together, and celebrate when you achieve them. For example, if you go a week without vaping, reward yourself by going to a movie together. When cravings hit, send a text to your quit buddy for support. 

Consider this: in 2020, half of 15 to 24-year-olds who vape are actively quitting or trying to quit. Once you quit, perhaps you can return the favor, and be someone else’s quit buddy. You will have the insight and experience to help them along their way, and to possibly save their life. 

Take this time to brainstorm who your quit buddy could be. You can tell us who it is in this section, or you can describe the qualities about them that would make them a good quit buddy.
