Most creative way to beat a craving? My most creative way to beat a craving is to get lost in what I love; because then I forget about everything else. I’ll usually write a song or start a sewing project.

What’s the best way to spend a Saturday? The best way to spend a Saturday is either with good company, or by myself. I love being alone because then I have full control over what I wanna do. I usually wake up; make some coffee, and take it with me while I longboard. Then, I take a shower, make some breakfast and head to goodwill to find fabrics to start a clothing project. After that, I usually have a burst of creativity. I go back and forth between the sewing machine, piano and guitar based on whatever’s going on in my head. After I’ve been productive with that, I call the people I love to see if they want to hangout. 

What do you want people to know about you? I want people to know that I am just a 23 year old girl who’s still figuring it all out. I mean we all are. But above everything else, I want to end the negative stigma surrounding mental health and make it an open topic of conversation. 

Every day, we work alongside researchers who study nicotine addiction and quitting – and help fuel This is Quitting, our text-to-quit vaping program. These are people with years of experience helping people stop smoking or vaping who offer really useful insights into the process. And you know what they say? Quitting nicotine, whether it’s in a cigarette or a JUUL or a Vuse or a Puff Bar, can be really damn tough, but it sucks a lot less if you have the right tools and support. It gets easier as you keep going, so if you’re struggling, you’re not alone or quitting “wrong.”

This is Quitting is now part of EX Program.

After helping more than 750,000 people on their journeys to quit vaping, This is Quitting is now part of EX Program. We're still your go-to guide on your journey to quit.
