Vaping/Smoking Ceasefire

How to complete Vaping/Smoking Ceasefire

This is the physical commitment behind quitting: you can't reach for a device that's already in the trash. Clearing out every vape, cigarette, and lighter removes the easy relapse and forces you to ride out cravings instead of feeding them.

1. Gather everything at once: packs, vapes, pods, lighters, ashtrays, plus the stash in the car and coat pocket.
2. Throw it all out or hand it off in one go; do not save one "for later."
3. Tell someone you've done it so quietly backing out carries a social cost.
4. Brace for the first 72 hours, when nicotine cravings peak.
5. Swap the ritual with gum, a short walk, cold water, or something to keep your hands busy.

Tips

• Clear the triggers too: empty the car ashtray and wash smoke-smelling clothes.
• Patches or nicotine gum can separate the chemical craving from the hand-to-mouth habit.
• Stack the money you'd have spent somewhere visible as a running reward.

What counts as done

Every smoking and vaping device you owned is physically gone from your possession.
