While your article on e-cigarettes states that “going cold turkey is not recommended when giving up vaping” (No need to rush’: How to give up vaping, 23 June), that’s exactly how most people succeed.
A poll last month on a Reddit “quit vaping” support group asked members what method they had used if they had quit vaping and remained nicotine-free for at least three months. Of the poll’s 172 responses, 50.6% selected “cold turkey (abrupt nicotine cessation)”. Interestingly, just 8.7% selected “gradual nicotine weaning” and 13.4% selected “nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patch, gum, lozenge, spray or inhaler)”.
