Vaping and nicotine: decide what you are actually trying to change

“Quit smoking” and “quit nicotine” are not always the same goal.

Define the target

If your immediate goal is eliminating combustible tobacco, your plan may differ from a goal of becoming nicotine-free.

Nicotine dependence still matters

Nicotine can produce cravings and withdrawal regardless of the delivery device.

Track the actual pattern

How often and how much you use matters more than assuming a different device automatically means less dependence.

Use the tool: choose a realistic next interval, return and answer honestly. A NO does not erase previous choices. The timer is not a substitute for medical treatment.
