Quitting vaping
Please don't respond if you're going to be judgemental I already know vaping isn't good which is why I'm trying to quit.
Basically I'm so addicted to nicotine that I go through an elf bar a day, even though I don't have the money. It's really tough and I've been trying to give up for months but it's so hard. Has anyone given up smoking / vaping before and recovered from nicotine addiction and if so what advice do you have.
Also is it best to wait until after A levels finish to give up?

So you intake the equivalent of 48 cigarettes worth of nicotine a day? (I assume at the age of 17/18) the best way to stop is with a combination of medication and specialist care, go to your gp, they will be able to help you.
Well you say you've been trying to quit for months, what have those efforts consisted of? and to blunt, have you done ANYTHING constructive towards quitting beyond a vague statement? (millions say they've been trying to quit things for years without doing a thing)
It takes about a week off nicotine (broadly) to significant reduce the dependence but you have to WANT to do it and show some willpower. Getting the thoughts and habits out of your routine is another longer matter entirely.
Btw demanding strangers not be judgey about your easily judgeable uncontrollable and unaffordable addiction at a young age isn't realistic, you'd kinda need to accept you've screwed up and become the sort of national anti vaping statistic we were warned about.

not useful go away. as if i haven't accepted I screwed up
Hi i totally understand how you feel i was addicted to smoking and later vaping for about 2 years from the age of 14 and I also went through a ridiculous amount of puff bars etc.
In my experience the only way to really be able to quit is by truly wanting to. I thought about quitting for a long time before I actually committed to it and the first few months were very hard. I found that it really helped to focus on the benefits of quitting rather than how much i missed smoking - because i did, and still sometimes do long for a cigarette, or to use a friend’s vape etc.
Whenever I spend money on clothes or books i think about how i wouldn’t have been able to if i was still funding my addiction, and i try to focus on how freeing it is not to get withdrawn when i cant smoke etc because my body is so used to being without nicotine. Its also really great not to worry about lying to the people around me or having them worry about me - and i feel somewhat superior now to everyone else who still thinks its cool to vape, regardless of how ethical this opinion is, it really helps me to stay clean!
Quitting nicotine can make you very upset or cause you to feel unwell, so if you think you will have adverse effects, or be too focused on nicotine rather than revision for example, wait until after exams to quit.
Best of luck, and if you would like more support i can pm you?

I also totally agree that judgement isnt helpful in these situations- and you are clearly showing initiative in wanting to quit which is certainly commendable!
Although it is an individual’s choice to smoke or vape, it is a decision made by many - including members of royalty, politicians and celebrities. In a society where smoking is so commonplace, remember that years ago people were led to believe smoking was actually beneficial to health - it is no wonder that young people and adults alike choose to use such products. They are so easily available and can be used to remedy the stresses of everyday life.
If your choice to vape is a response to personal issues then i would definitely recommend looking into sorting them out as best you can, or finding other coping mechanisms so you dont have to resort to what is clearly a detrimental habit - although not one worthy of judgement!
You arent hurting anyone else but yourself, and should be proud that you are making the right decision for your wellbeing and bank account by quitting !

Well exactly, you haven't accepted it. If you tried checking into a rehab clinic for addictions with such an attitude they would v likely tum you you away. You admit you have an out of control addiction you can't afford... you are literally the example that addiction PSA's get made about. I'm not kidding about, this level of nicotine abuse is significantly worse than most smokers.
Mibbie down the line you'll understand that people challenging you on these things is simply a part of the process of moving towards facing up to and quitting an addiction, rather than just guiltily thinking about it every now and then. You only quit these things when you REALLY want to, all the aids of gum, vapes patches are just crutches.
When looking for a vape with very low nicotine content, you can explore options from various brands that specialize in producing e-liquids with lower nicotine levels. Specifically, "This Is Salt's Brand" offers a range of nicotine salt e-liquids, which typically include options with lower nicotine strengths.
