Overcoming social pressure

It’s completely understandable to worry about the temptation to smoke/vape, especially if people around you (friends, family, colleagues, etc.) smoke/vape. his indirect pressure can make quitting harder because the temptation may be more present.

Already tried to quit several times

On average, people try to quit smoking/vaping several times before they succeed. If you have already tried and haven’t been able to quit, be easy on yourself. Each one does it their own way. Never give up.
