Thank you for taking the time to share that with me! I agree there’s not much research out yet since it is pretty knew so I’m gonna quit before I start developing some form of an addiction. Ty very much for the advice!

You may not like this advice but I’d definitely try and stop vaping before you get too addicted and it negatively affects your health. If you have health anxiety vaping is one of the last things you should do because it will probably end up causing health problems in the long run. Although it is highly unlikely vaping for under two weeks is going to give you lung cancer, I would still quit ASAP.

You do not need to worry since you have not been smoking long at all. It is a really bad habit that I am caught up in so I would recommend that you try your hardest to quit especially if it is stressing you out

i started vaping when i was 16. i’m 20 years old now, and i’m finally not addicted. after years, thousands of dollars in disposable vapes, low lung capacity and an embarrassing addiction, i finally was able to sever my tie from nicotine like 2 months ago. trust me, don’t start. the only reason i started was because everyone else was doing it, and it inadvertently provided me cheap relief from my thoughts. aka, it was a crutch. the disposable vapes like the cuvie plus, puff bars, HDQ’s, pretty much all of them aren’t safe and made in China. most have more than 5% nic and they also have other chemicals that are bad for your health. you’ve only been vaping 2 weeks, so your health is fine, but it would be best if you stopped. personally, i’ll hit one of my friends vapes every once in a blue moon, and only once, and occasionally (once every 3-4 months) i’ll smoke a cigar. the issue is making it a daily habit, and my advice is to stop while you can.

Since you were 16 when you started vaping, how did you dispose of them?

@mentalhealthandselfcare i’d just throw them away in a trash can, usually the one outside under everything so my parents wouldn’t see lol

Just please stay off nicotine. Its terrible for your anxiety and it's awful and inconvenient for your day. It's a nasty habit to kick so don't let it develop. Just throw it away.

I smoked for many years. I got so anxious and irritable every 2-3 hours until I went to smoke. It's so much easier to tackle regular anxiety without nicotine induced anxiety added on . Vaping is still very new and they don't know much of the consequences of it yet but my professors friend son ended up in the ER for severe lung complications from vaping. Others Don't feel effects at all. It's a risky game so just don't play it.

i (22f) am not a full blown stoner whatsoever, but picked up smoking weed years ago and use it pretty regularly now that i’ve been in college for a while. Not the best habit, I know, but it eases my mind so easily and is such a quick fix for my ocd when I feel really panicky. My mom caught me last night and proceeded to have a full conversation with me about it while I was totally stoned. From what i remember, She isn’t mad just really sad and disappointed. She’s made it clear through my whole childhood that weed is a horrible drug, but i just dont agree. I think that when used in moderation, like any other drug, it’s actually super helpful. I leave for partial hospitalization this Monday for my depression and she has been so helpful in getting me to the stage where i actually want help. I just feel so guilty now. A part of me is like okay i’m an adult and i can smoke weed once in a while. I did it in highschool in the house like a few times and no one ever said anything. I did it outside far way from the house, not even close to where It could bother anyone. The reason why she woke up is because I was too loud coming inside and then she came down and smelled me. Another part of me just feels like shit. I’m not an adult right now because i’m in such a mentally shit place and rely on her for so much. I should be respecting her expectations. She just seemed really sad and that’s what’s upsetting me most. It’s definitely a habit that has gotten out of hand in the past, but I don’t really want to stop. That kinda makes me sadder. (it’s not legal where i live but i bought from dispensary in another state)

I'm currently living through a massive health scare with really scary symptoms. I am scared I might have an aneurysm due to my symptoms but despite that the doctor's don't think it's urgent. I have some test scheduled but I will have to wait weeks for some of them. I don't know how to get through this knowing I could die any moment. I live in constant terror ever since those symptoms started. I can't function. Can anyone here please help me with this??? I don't know what to do?
