Summit: Quit Vaping

SAVINGS GUIDE

How much money could you save by quitting vaping?

The most useful answer starts with your own spending. A simple estimate can turn an invisible expense into progress you can see.

There is no single cost that represents everyone’s vaping. Device type, refill frequency, local prices, and buying habits all matter. Your recent spending is a better starting point than a national average.

1. Find a realistic purchase amount

Look at a recent receipt, bank transaction, or the price you usually pay. Include the items that are part of the same habit—devices, pods, cartridges, or e-liquid—without adding unrelated purchases.

2. Choose the frequency that matches your routine

Estimate how often you make that purchase: every few days, weekly, or monthly. If your spending varies, use a normal recent month rather than your highest or lowest one.

3. Convert it into a daily estimate

Divide the purchase amount by the number of days it usually covers. That daily figure can then be multiplied by about 30 for a monthly estimate and 365 for a yearly estimate.

4. Treat the result as an estimate

Prices and habits change, so the total is not a promise or financial projection. It is a personal reference point—a way to make repeated spending easier to notice.

5. Give the savings a purpose

Progress can feel more concrete when it points somewhere. You might set aside part of the estimated savings for a bill, a small reward, an experience, or an emergency cushion. Choose something that makes the change visible to you.

6. Track quit-to-date progress

Once you have a daily estimate, multiply it by your vape-free days. The number does not define the value of quitting, but it can become another sign that repeated small decisions are adding up.

A simple example

If a $24 purchase normally lasts six days, the estimate is $4 per day—about $120 per 30-day month and $1,460 per year.
