How to Quit Vaping or Smoking and go Cold Turkey

Let’s be real quitting nicotine is tough. Whether it’s vapes, cigarettes, or both, breaking the habit can feel overwhelming, especially without the right tools.

2.6 million Australians still smoke tobacco daily, with many reporting they want to quit but struggle with cravings and habit loops.

At Breathe O’Clock, we’re not here to judge. We’re here to help and we have helped many beat the habit through replacement therapy.

We’ve designed natural, everyday tools that make it easier to let go of old habits and create better ones one breath at a time.

 

Why Cold Turkey Can Work

(If You Set Yourself Up for Success)

Some people try quitting gradually. Others go cold turkey.

Either way, success often comes down to support. Not just from people — but from routines, habits, and things that keep your hands and mind busy when cravings strike.

Over 50% of daily vapers in Australia are aged 18–29, with most citing stress relief and habit as key reasons.

That’s where our Breathing Necklace and Mullein Gummies come in.

 

The Breathing Necklace: Calm the Urge, One Breath at a Time

This simple tool is designed to help you slow down your breathing when stress or cravings hit.

3 in 4 people who attempt to quit smoking relapse within the first week, often due to triggers, stress, or lack of habit support.

Instead of reaching for a vape or cigarette, breathe out through the necklace slowly. This helps you feel more in control  and can take the edge off.

It’s also:

  • A natural way to create space between thought and action

  • Pocket-sized and discreet

  • A helpful habit tool to use throughout the day  especially during those tricky moments like after meals or when you're bored

It takes the average person 66 days to form a new habit — but the first 21 days are the most critical for rewiring the brain.
