I'm happy I quit vaping in that I don't feel chained to a vape anymore. I would always stress about where my next vape is gonna come from, do I have enough money for another vape? My overall health is just better now that I quit.

About Us

About Us

Vaping is fairly new, at least compared to cigarettes. It’s marketed as a safer alternative to smoking. A way to help people quit. But it’s become an entry point to nicotine addiction for a lot of youth and adults alike. We’re on a mission to help the youth of Summit County stay away from vaping. Whether it be help quitting or help to never start, we’ve got your back!
