Vaping vs smoking: which is worse — and does quitting either work the same?

Both deliver addictive nicotine; the debate over long-term harm misses the point if you're trying to quit. The addiction mechanism — and the craving pattern — is the same: urges spike, peak, and fade within about 60–90 seconds.

That means the quitting skill is identical whether you vape or smoke: get through the short waves without using, and let the cravings get less frequent over time.

StopMe works for both. One button, 60 seconds, the urge passes — no matter which one you're putting down.
