BACKGROUND
e-Cigarette use, also known as vaping, has increased dramatically over the past few years, especially among younger demographics. However, researchers have found that a large number of e-cigarette users want to quit. Little is known about the unique aspects of vaping cessation, which is critical to informing the development of relevant resources and interventions for e-cigarette users who want to quit. Social media forums such as Reddit provide opportunities to understand the experiences of behavior change such as quitting vaping from the perspective of end users.
OBJECTIVE
This study aims to examine a quit vaping subreddit to understand how e-cigarette users are experiencing and approaching vaping cessation. Specifically, we examine methods used to approach quitting, reasons for quitting, and barriers and facilitators to quitting.
METHODS
A total of 1228 posts were collected. The posts were inductively coded to generate categories and subcategories using conventional content analysis. Data were analyzed using the NVivo 12 qualitative data analysis software.
RESULTS
Most users reported a preference for approaching quitting through gradual reduction, particularly through the use of their own devices by tapering the nicotine content. Their reasons for quitting were primarily related to experiencing negative physical consequences associated with vaping, especially in relation to their lungs (eg, tight chest), and tired of feeling stuck to the vape because of nicotine addiction. Top barriers to quitting were related to withdrawal symptoms and intensity of addiction. The top facilitators to quitting were related to using distraction techniques (eg, hobby, gaming, and mindfulness exercises), as well as having a positive mindset.
CONCLUSIONS
The findings of this study reveal unique aspects that encompass the process of quitting vaping. These findings have significant implications for both policy and intervention development.
背景
电子烟的使用，也被称为雾化吸 烟，在过去几年中急剧增加，尤其是在年轻人群体中。然而，研究人员发现大量电子烟使用者想要戒烟。对于戒烟过程中的独特方面知之甚少，而这对于为想要戒烟的电子烟使用者开发相关资源和干预措施至关重要。像Reddit这样的社交媒体论坛提供了从终端用户的角度了解行为改变（如戒烟）经历的机会。
目的
本研究旨在调查一个关于戒烟的电子烟相关子版块，以了解电子烟使用者在经历和尝试戒烟时的情况。具体而言，我们研究他们采用的戒烟方法、戒烟原因以及戒烟的障碍和促进因素。
方法
总共收集了1228篇帖子。使用常规内容分析法对这些帖子进行归纳编码，以生成类别和子类别。使用NVivo 12定性数据分析软件对数据进行分析。
结果
大多数用户表示倾向于通过逐渐减少使用量来戒烟，特别是通过自行减少电子烟设备中的尼古丁含量。他们戒烟的主要原因与电子烟带来的负面身体影响有关，尤其是对肺部的影响（如胸部紧绷），以及因尼古丁成瘾而厌倦依赖电子烟。戒烟的主要障碍与戒断症状和成瘾程度有关。戒烟的主要促进因素与采用分散注意力的技巧（如爱好、游戏和正念练习）以及保持积极心态有关。
结论
本研究的结果揭示了电子烟戒烟过程中的独特方面。这些发现对政策制定和干预措施的发展具有重要意义。
