Well Done!
Keep it up – avoid the pressure to vape or smoke.
Have a go‑to response ready when someone offers you a vape or smoke–e.g. “I’m good, thanks”, “’I’m taking a break from it”, “I’m looking after my lungs”
Stick with the non‑vapers when you can–it makes it easier to choose what works for you.
Know your triggers, like coffee, alcohol, certain friends, big emotions or when you feel stressed or bored.
Change the topic or distract yourself if someone is talking about vaping.
Remember: it’s always okay to say no. No reason needed!
