Give a reason:
- "I don't want to smoke. Besides, it makes you smell bad."
- "I'm not going to smoke/vape. It's bad for you."
- "I promised my sister that I'd never smoke/vape."
- "I'm on the basketball team. I need all the air I can get."
How do you encourage someone to not vape?
Plan ahead
- identify some alternative coping skills.
- tell loved ones and enlist support.
- get rid of vaping products.
- buy gum, hard candies, toothpicks, and other things you can use to help fight the urge to vape.
- talk to a therapist or review online resources.
- practice quitting by doing a “test run” a day or two at a time.
