So idk what’s wrong but I get really anxious and worked up over the smallest things, its becoming a problem and its pissing me off. I’ve always despised seeing my classmates vaping and stuff, up until now I’ve been very determined to stay away from this. but recently I’ve started considering it to deal with whatever is going on with me.
For the people who vape, is it really that bad? Is there something else which us also quick, that I can do instead?
For the people who vape, convince me not to start? :/

It is linked to a rare irreversible lung cancer
It has much more nicotine than cigarettes, so you get hooked up for life
vaping might give you temporary relief, but it could make things worse in the long run.
As an ex smoker, turned vaper, and now sometimes both vapes and smokes, DON’T!!
I feel much healthier when I’m only vaping and not smoking, and my lungs feel clear and clean when I only vape.
But it is a lifelong addiction, that you do not want.
I quit smoking three different times. Once for 5 years.
Just don’t start.
its 100% flavored nicotine that you will likely continue to do past your 50s. also very expesnive
Vaping or smoking anything will make you age way faster
I 20000% recommend not starting. Other than the health risks, the phlem is un fucking bearable, you’re clearing your throat or coughing all the time, the high doesn’t last for shit, and delta joints are available now (obviously they pale in comparison to real weed but, better than vaping for sure)
Money. Health. Obnoxious. Your future partner might be very against it. Smells. Addiction. Your car window will have a smokey grease and you constantly need a towel to wipe it down in winter months. Man made chemicals going into your lungs and it’s not just nic. Only people who want you to vape are other vapers. Possibly share herpes or other infectious viruses through sharing vapes.
It’s a shitty coping mechanism that ends up feedback looping itself and making anxiety worse in the long run. It’s expensive and unhealthy and goofy af. I’m in a relapse and it’s embarrassing, I wish someone had told me when I first picked up cigarettes at 12 years old DONT connect those synapses kid, they will never go away. I’ve quit for a year, two years at a time and the cravings don’t fade. It’s a curse and it in no way helps me deal with anything. I watched my mother in law die of COPD and it has to be one of the absolute worst ways to go.
Vaping will cause me to get there just like her, possibly even if I quit right now.
Nicotine pouches are the best solution for my ADHD and restlessness. I vaped for a bit and sometimes I would wake up feeling like I’d been poisoned. Don’t vape
It’s gross. It’s cringe. It’s expensive. It’s unhealthy. It’s not worth it.
Nicotine addiction sucks. And it is very expensive and unhealthy.
I quit smoking 4 years ago and still want one every day. Don’t go down that road.
It will not fix your anxiety at all, it will just add substance abuse and dependency to your list of problems.
In my 40+ years of life, my only two real regrets are ever picking up nicotine and alcohol. Literally pissing and smoking away your money and all you get out of it is long-term health problems and you’re now a slave to chemical dependency.
Do you like your health? Do you like being alive ?
When I see young kids vaping it just makes me cringe. It’s just disgusting and I’m tired of people defending that it’s not
Don’t.
Don’t do it, vaping caused me more problems than smoking did. I’d often be at the doctors very sick and having a lot of infections and respiratory problems. My dad was in intensive care for a while and all we can link it to was he had started vaping to quit smoking cigarettes. He got really pneumonia and respiratory problems.
My niece had a friend that passed away from vaping.
Smoking is one thing I wish I never started when I was 12. I can only imagine the money I wasted on it for almost 28 years.
If you really want to be calmer and in a better mood , you can drink tea. You can even drink mushroom tea. Put a blanket over yourself and drink some hot tea. It’s SO much better than a vape will ever be.
Haven’t seen this one yet so I’ll add: it destroys your tooth enamel & promotes gum erosion. So it will make you more likely to lose teeth sooner & at the very least experience sensitivity to hot and cold
It makes your penis smaller and your man boobs larger
addicting, headaches, stomachaches, $$$, 100% worse, anxiety..
When I was vaping , I was always spitting and I couldn’t breathe. My sleeping patterns were fucked up and I was spending way too much money on this.
I was also always worried about what vaping would do to me. I’m a mom. I cannot do anything because I need to be here for my kids. And there are way better habits to spend money on that keep you sober. instead of buying vapes , I buy snacks or try food or drinks that I’ve never tried before. Think about all you could experience if you could stay sober from smoking.
I just quit vaping. It was making me anxious, I had tightness in my chest all the time. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. One time my pupils were different sizes after vaping. It’s expensive. You set it down and then put your mouth on it. I didn’t want to be addicted to anything if shit hits the fan with my government.
Unless you are smoking now and are having trouble quitting vaping is not a thing intended for you there is no purpose to nicotine. If you are talking about marijuana it is better than smoking but just use edibles it cuts all the issues. I cannot tell if you mean pot or nicotine vaping.
Use this deep breathing technique if you are stressed. Ironically, I used it to help quit vaping. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324417
Yes. It’s that bad. You can’t breathe. Your lips are peeling chapped all the time. Your skin ages so fast, breaks out, and looks/feels like shit. You know how shitty you feel after a hard night partying??? That’s how vaping makes you feel every day… run down and tired and queasy at times. It’s a bare minimum habit of $100 a month… just blowing that money away(pun intended). And it’s harder to quit than cigarettes. So you want to vape in your car? Your house? Well now you have a nice greasy film all over everything and it sucks on your car windows… because it’s frickin vegetable oil. You know what else sticks real nice to vegetable oil? Dirt. Dust. So now it’s glued on.
Should we talk about taking the elevator everywhere and gaining 20lbs just from that? Because you can’t breathe. You sound like a 450 pound person who has chained smoked for 40 years-just walking 30ft down the hallway to your Dr’s appointment.
How about sex? You cool with having that ruined by your lack of breath and your shitty stamina?
But let me tell you… you can’t find anything to replace that puff when it hits your lungs. No candy, no toothpick, nothing will ever satisfy your craving for that puff. Now you’re an addict. For the love of all, DO NOT START VAPING I would literally give almost anything to be able to quit.
Smoking is waaay cooler
Although about the rise and fall of Juul, some great reasons not to vape included. Good watch

As someone who is actively trying to quit, please do yourself a favor and don’t start. I started smoking at 18. At 22, I was told I was born with a heart defect I never knew about. I’m 26 now and JUST NOW forcing myself to actually quit and it is so hard. If I’m being honest with myself, it was a candy flavored crutch I used to limp my way through the day. The more I used it, the more I relied on it. The more I relied on it, the more I used it. I have a stressful job and it was honestly a quick and easy way to get some of the stress off.
If you start, you will inevitably end up quitting one day.. and you’ll end up just like me. Gritting my teeth sitting on the couch thinking about nothing else but that nicotine hit and nothing but sheer willpower keeping me from going to get absolutely anything with nicotine in to curb that addiction.
