Advice needed please

Okay so I smoke nicotine from vapes once in awhile. I wanna stop but I normally smoke at school to seem normal. Does anyone have any coping skills I can use that isn't vaping. I wanna meet with guidance but I have to make an appointment so it's difficult

Do something that will distract you like reading or listening to music or something
(It’s just what health class taught me so idk)

From what you're saying, quitting cold turkey might not work for you so nicotine patches are a great alternative and they come in different doses and batches so you can gradually decrease your nicotine levels while managing withdrawals. You can also journal side by side about how you feel when you vape vs when you don't. As you continue getting clean, the way you write about yourself, positively atleast from pro-vape to no-vape takes a turn. Or you could always go to behavioural counselling as you suggested. The patches and the journaling was what my best friend did when he didn't want to divulge stuff to a stranger. In any case, hope this helps :)

a few people I know started chewing gum / eating hard candy (like the sugar free werthers) whenever they got the urge to vape! it gave them and their mouth “something to do” instead of picking up their vape :)

When my Dad quit smoking cold turkey, he ate a lot of orange tic tacs. Some of my husband’s family members chewed on tooth picks.
