‘You can pay me now or pay me later.’ It’s the inspiration behind our April 3, 2022 RE@LBlog post which focused on a commitment to proactive, preventive education about vaping BEFORE kids start. At RE@L, Inc. we are all about investing UPFRONT in the time and resources necessary for prevention instead of attempting to punish students into submission. It’s why we developed RE@L’s anti-nicotine, anti-vaping, anti-smoking curriculum, 1Up On Vaping™.

But what does one do when the time for prevention has passed and it is time to address the elephant in our personal living room: a nicotine habit with no signs of stopping? How do individuals seek assistance in their journey to quit using nicotine whether it be through combustibles or the vapes or the e-cigarettes? Below are links to websites which include resources that one might consider:

For those who struggle with nicotine addiction, we stand behind you with compassion. We wish for you a wholesome journey of cessation which improves your health and your well-being. In so doing, you can help us join the worthy fight against nicotine addiction now and for generations to come.
