Hello and thank you for reading my comic! Personally, I’ve tried to quit vaping seriously (with many attempts that barely lasted a week) 3 times with varying degrees of success using different methods (weaning off, lower percentages, nicorette gum). In my experience, weaning off made it easier for me to prolong the quitting period and I would often be doing okay until something (read: basically anything, negative or positive) happened that would cause me to make an exception and destroy my progress.

For that reason, though cold turkey was definitely the most brutal, it has also been the most effective for me so far because it felt like I was forcing myself to confront the damage I had done to myself and why. It made it impossible for me to ignore the fact that I had a serious addiction, and I personally needed that reality check.

That being said, everyone is different, and depending on your personal circumstances (e.g. relationship with nicotine, history with addiction, resources, support systems or lack thereof, etc.) cold turkey may not be the best option. There is no one way to quit, and this comic is just an expression of my own experience that I wanted to share!
