@leah7178 Welcome to EX. Glad you found us. No matter the source, nicotine is an addictive chemical so it takes commitment to quit. Often with vaping you're actually getting more nicotine than with smoking. And the fact that you vape almost anywhere doesn't make it any easier.
The same principles to quit smoking will apply to your quit. It's important to educate yourself about nicotine and have a quit plan. Knowledge and preparation have been made quitting possible for many of us. I never did neither in the past and I was never successful. I was planning my quit this time and found the Ex a week before my quit date. I finally learned how to quit and how important support from other quitters can be. Read lots of material on the site. This link is a great place to start.

Believe in yourself that you can do it. Approaching your quit one day at a time helps to alleviate much of the anxiety we experience when we think about quitting.
We're here to support you so reach out anytime you need help, want to share your experience, and to support other quitters.
Join many of us on the Daily Pledge. It's a great way to stay on track with your quit. Looking forward to celebrating with you on the 12th.

Wanting to quit can get you to where you want to be if you take the time to learn about nicotine addiction, plan your quit. Welcome to Ex, keep working toward your goal. Focus on deciding that you are willing to quit, give it all you've got once you do.
You may be right about vaping being more addictive, but when you stopped smoking and replaced it with vaping you didn't really quit nicotine--that's what is really hard to quit. No matter the difficulty of dependency, there is absolutely a way out!
Yes you can one step, one day at a time.
