Give and get support around quitting
I am trying to help my son quit vaping. He has been vaping for a while( probably a year) and he wants to stop but he doesn’t know how . I want to help him in any way possible, and I am looking for plan or a way how he can archive this goal.
Thank you
Eva
This is a great site for anyone that wants to quit nicotine in any form. Preparation, education, and loving support are all provided here. There will be people that will respond shortly to teach him how to navigate this site to get the most out of it. But it can't be done through you. He has to take that 1st step of writing a blog just to introduce himself and state that he needs help.
Here are a few references that I found that may be helpful. Helping your children who vape

Education is the key to s successful quit. Read Read Read.
It takes work and the commitment not to take a puff no matter what is happening.

Although I wrote this for smokers, it applies to vapers also: /blogs/Giulia-blog/2018/03/01/quitting-is-a-skill-that-can-be-learned?sr=search&searchId=54e2859a-61... I don't know how old your son is, and that might make a difference, but humor is always a helpful tool in the process. What sparks him? Does he like challenges? Then this is one of the greatest he can master. What does he find fun? He need to discover the fun part of quitting. The EGO part, the part that makes him feel like a champion. Just passing thoughts here. Is he into electronics? Or computers? Maybe creating an app for quitting? Does he like to draw, is he artistic? The quit plan here is a good one, but he has to get the interest up to follow it. I guess, Mom, that part of your task. Good luck!
