Question 5

Chloe vapes flavored nicotine products in her bedroom when she is stressed, spending significant money on new devices. Sometimes she vapes with her peer group at social gatherings for the added excitement of cloud-chasing and social approval. She frequently points out that vaping is "95% safer than smoking" and believes her regular cardiovascular exercise completely shields her from any health risks. If her family expresses concern about her dependence, Chloe dismisses their comments.

Chloe seeks help from an addiction counselor. The counselor focuses on identifying and changing Chloe's biased thinking patterns regarding vaping, while also using pairing techniques to make the sensory experience of vaping feel highly repulsive.

Discuss one or more ways of reducing addiction. Refer to Chloe in your answer.
