Break the Habit

🚨 Is va**ng part of your routine?

First thing in the morning? ☕
On your commute to work or college? 🚗
When you’re stressed? 😩
While watching TV? 📺
After a meal? 🍽️

Va**ng can become more than a ni****ne addiction, it can become a habit linked to everyday routines and emotions.

If you’re trying to quit, think about when you reach for your v**e and plan what you’ll do instead.

🚶 Go for a short walk
🥤 Have a drink of water
🫧 Chew gum
📱 Distract yourself
💬 Talk to someone

And remember: a slip doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Learn from what triggered it and keep going.

Your next v**e-free day can start today. 💚🚭

What Happens When You Quit?

🚭 What happens when you stop va**ng?

Quitting va**ng means breaking your body’s dependence on ni****ne. You may notice some withdrawal symptoms along the way.

You may experience:
😣 Irritability
🧠 Difficulty concentrating
😴 Changes in sleep
🍫 Increased appetite
💭 Strong cravings to v**e

These symptoms can be uncomfortable, but are temporary.

The important thing is not to mistake a craving for a need. A craving will pass, even if it feels intense at the time.

💚 If you’re struggling to quit, there is help out there! Call ‘Quit Your Way Service’ on 0800 84 84 84

Ready to Quit?

🚭 Thinking about quitting va**ng?

Whether you’ve been va**ng for a few months or a few years, quitting can feel difficult but you don’t have to do it alone.

Ni****ne is addictive, so cravings and withdrawal are completely normal.

💡 Some things that can help:
• Pick a quit date for stopping
• Identify your triggers
• Keep busy when cravings hit
• Have something else to reach for, like water or sugar-free chewing gum
• Get support rather than trying to do it all yourself

Every v**e-free day is a step in the right direction. 💪

💜 International Overdose Awareness Day 31st August 💜

Overdose Awareness Day is also about reducing stigma and reminding people that help is available.

💊 Naloxone can save a life.
Naloxone is a medicine that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and give someone time to receive emergency medical treatment.

If you or someone you know may be at risk of opioid overdose, speak to your local pharmacy or drug and alcohol service about accessing take-home naloxone.

🚨 If you suspect an overdose, call 999 immediately and follow the emergency operator’s instructions.

🌍 Period Products & Our Planet

Did you know the average menstruating woman uses around 11,000 period products in her lifetime? Most end up in landfill or, when flushed, can make their way into our waterways.

CFINE has distributed over 2,000 reusable period products in the last year.

That could help prevent around 2.2 million single-use products from ending up in landfill or our seas. 🌊💚

Together, we can make a difference.

Reusable options such as washable period pants/towels and menstrual cups are available at Dickies pharmacy, alongside support and advice on using them safely.

Thank you for helping us reduce period waste! 💚
