- 1How is vaping currently affecting you?
- 2What will happen if you keep vaping?
- 3What will your situation look like if you stop, and you are now a non-vaper?
- 4Is anyone else affected by you vaping?
When answering the questions, there are multiple areas to consider: health, money, relationships, social reasons eg loved ones, friends, in public, and breaking free from addiction.
Don't rush to answer the questions. Have a good think about them before writing the answers down. You may even come up with reasons you hadn't thought of before!
