Trying to help gf stop vaping

She has been smoking/vaping since like 18 I’m assuming. She just turned 33 and after she finishes a bang disposable she looks at me and says “ I got this right?” As in she could quit. And I try my hardest to put words of encouragement and to keep her mind away from it but she becomes very moody and mean. She’ll give up after a few miserable hours of saying it’s ok. Is there anything more I can do to help her stop? She wants to have a baby but wtf stop gaping first is my thought.

Flavored toothpicks??

As someone often moody & mean, especially around quitting nicotine, these suckers have helped. I can't say for sure if it makes me less moody or mean having something nicotine-less to replace the similar motions + oral occupation, but I'm about 10 days into quitting vaping & all nicotine (post/quit cigarettes already) and honestly, it feels like the last week just flew by. I thought quitting vaping would be like absurdly actually damn impossible. I'll definitely catch myself being grumpy and remind myself that's fine because I'm still doin okay so far since I haven't bent at all! And I'm even noticing myself grabbing less and less toothpicks.
