Hi everyone!
I'm working on a blog post for E-Cigarette Direct/the Ashtray Blog, aiming to give some advice to people who've tried vaping but didn't take to it, and I'm looking for a bit of input to pin down the most common reasons smokers struggle to switch.
I was wondering if some vapers here with more experience than me on this front would be able to offer some insight (personally I chain-vaped like a lunatic for the first few days and managed to quit first-time). I have a few specific questions, but if there's anything you want to add then obviously feel free!
Did it take you more than one attempt to switch? If so, what was it that made the difference and helped you finally make the transition?
Or if you still smoke and vape, what's the main thing holding you back from switching completely?
Do you know anyone else who struggled to switch or was a dual user at first but quit smoking on a subsequent attempt? What made the difference for them?
How important a factor is support (from other vapers or stop-smoking services) when you're trying to switch?
And lastly - what's your number one piece of advice for someone trying to switch?
Any input you could offer would be very much appreciated!
Cheers!
