Please note that we do not provide a stop vaping service. Please use the following national guidance to support your attempt to stop vaping.
Reduce the nicotine strength in the e-liquid you use
Look at what strength you currently use and reduce it down (i.e. 20mg, 18mg, 12mg, 6mg, 3mg, 0mg).
Everyone is different as to the speed in which they reduce and finally stop vaping. You will find what works best for you and set yourself a goal on how to wean yourself off.
Extend the time between vape usage
Set aside the vape or put it out of reach so that it is not visible. Only go to it when you feel the need but by extending the length of time you go to it will enable you to use it less and less.
Setting rules for yourself about where you do or do not vape
Vape only when you are outside of the house or car, only use it when you have a break at work.
This will not necessarily lead to a reduction in the amount of nicotine vaped, but it will weaken the link between vaping the specific situations and times.
Give yourself something to distract you
Look for different activities to do when you would normally be vaping.
Go for a walk but do not take the vape with you, do some gardening or other activities that keep your hands engaged. Try not to think about vaping.
Remember, only stop using your vape when you feel confident you will not return to smoking. Vaping is not risk free, but it is significantly less harmful than smoking.
Disposing of vapes
Did you know that you can now recycle your used vapes at all Derbyshire County Council household waste recycling centres?
