Psychiatrist explains simple way he helps his patients quit vaping
A psychiatrist shares a simple method for quitting vaping, involving awareness, gradual reduction, and a supplement called N-acetyl cysteine.Summary
The number of vapers in the UK has surpassed smokers, raising health concerns despite vaping being less harmful than traditional cigarettes. Psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen suggests a straightforward approach to quit vaping: recognizing the problem, tracking frequency, gradually reducing usage by five percent daily, and considering N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) supplementation (1200mg twice a day) to reduce cravings. While the NHS acknowledges vaping can aid smoking cessation, it cautions against long-term use due to limited research and advises eventually stopping vaping altogether. Experts also express concerns about the potential for a new 'tobacco epidemic' with vaping, particularly regarding irreversible harm to young people's brains and hearts, citing increased blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
