A calmer way to quit: using breathwork to ease vaping and cravings

Quitting vaping isn't just about willpower. It's about finding new ways to manage cravings, calm your mind, and create healthier rituals that actually work for you.

If you've ever reached for your vape in a moment of stress, you're not alone. For so many people, vaping becomes less about the nicotine and more about the pause it gives you, that inhale, that exhale, that tiny moment to reset.

But here's the good news: you can give yourself the same reset, without the vape.

Why quitting vaping feels so hard

When a craving hits, your body wants two things: relief from stress and something to do with your hands and breath.

That's why vaping becomes such a sticky habit, it's physical, its' rhythmic, and it feels like a quick fix.

The problem? It keeps you trapped in the cycle. Stress>vape>temporary relief>more stress.

Breaking free means finding a healthier way to meet those same needs.

The power of breathwork

Your breathe is one of the most powerful, and underrated, tools you already have.

Slowing your breath tells your nervous system. "You're safe. You can relax"

• Deep breathing reduces stress hormones in minutes.

• It calms the mind and lowers anxiety.

• It gives you back control in the exact moment cravings feel strongest.

And just like vaping, it's something you can do anytime, anywhere.

Where a breathing necklace comes in

Here's the challenge: when cravings strike, it's easy to forget to breathe deeply.

That's where a breathing necklace changes everything.

1. It gives you something physical to reach for, just like you would with a vape.

2. It slows your exhale, guiding your breath into a calming rhythm.

3. It doubles as a piece of jewellery you can wear everyday, so your tool is always with you.

Instead of reaching for a vape, you reach for your necklace.

And in that small shift, you create a new healthier ritual.

A real-life story

One Chalumu customer shared this with us:

" Every time i felt the urge to vape, i picked up my necklace instead. At first it felt strange, but after a few days i noticed the cravings were easier to handle. I was calmer, and proud of myself for choosing differently."

That's the power of a tiny tool. It's not about being perfect. It's about giving yourself a way through the hard moments.

How to use it

Using your necklace is simple:

1. Inhale naturally through your nose.

2. Exhale slowly through the necklace, letting the airflow guide you.

3. Repeat 3-5 times until you feel the cravings and stress soften.

The act of holding the necklace, focusing your breath, and slowing down creates the same pause you once looked for in vaping, but without the trap.

Finding calm beyond the cravings

Quitting isn't easy. But it doesn't have to be a constant fight.

With the right tools, you can calm your body, quiet your cravings, and give yourself a healthier ritual to lean on.
