I personally went slow. I transitioned from cigarettes to vamping but kept camping for a few years. Then I caught a pretty bad cough and could not vape for 3 days. After that, I decided to not pick it up again as I had already not vapped for so long. That said, I had previously tried quitting and held it for half a year but fell in again.
My partner recently stopped too (3 years after I did. She also transitioned to vapping but stuck with it longer than me. She cot help though our doctor who prescribed a course paid by the state (we live in Denmark) who gave her a series of 1:1 meetings with a coach, that kept up with her with weekly meetings, options to call whenever she needed help and they also guided and paid for replacements. They recommended lozenges and skin patches as they are less likely to replace the addiction
I feel like we both had it easy. It is not the case most of the time. The main aspect is that you need to want to quit. If you're quitting for someone else or if you quit because you're told to, it's going to be a lot harder or almost impossible
