Student Tips for Cravings

Try these ideas for managing your urges to vape. Some may work better than others, so find the ones that work for you.

• Do something else. When a craving hits, stop what you're doing and do something different. Sometimes, just changing your routine helps you shake off a craving.
• Get active. Take a quick walk or go up and down the stairs a few times. Physical activity, even in short bursts, can help boost your energy and beat a craving.
• Stop and breathe. Breathe in slowly through your nose and breathe out slowly through  your mouth. Repeat this 10 times to help you relax until the craving passes.
• Text with or talk to someone. Supportive people in your life can help you stay strong in moments when the urges are tough to handle.
• Play a game on your phone. Keep your phone handy! Games can be a good distraction when you’re having a craving.
