Samantha Odo’s 18-year-old son has tried a range of strategies to quit vaping but she says the process of finding what works to curb his nicotine addiction “hasn’t been easy”.
“The cravings, the habit – it’s tough,” Odo says. “He’s found that keeping busy, especially with activities he enjoys, helps distract him from the urge to vape. It’s also been crucial for him to surround himself with friends who support his decision. Peer influence is no joke, and having a strong support system makes a world of difference.”
