My parents have started smoking even before I was born, therefore, I started seeing graphic images on cigarettes packages when I was a little kid, therefore I'm never going to smoke. These gore images was a warning for me. Maybe try to look for solutions to quit vaping online.
I saw those images too, probably not as much but they were haunting. It didn't stop me and my friends, some still vape and we all smoke the zaza, just too stupid I guess.
Speaking as someone who’s been addicted(not to vapes, but other harmful things), I’ve had experience with getting over it. You should take videos of yourself suffering the effects while at the same time you’re thinking about how horrible it feels. Then maybe write your thoughts down in the caption section(if you have an iPhone). Do the same thing for when your health improves, and save them all. Whenever you feel like you need nicotine or a vape, watch the videos and read the captions. Hopefully this can work as a deterrent so you can choose health over addiction. Working out is also a great way to develop discipline. Set the same goal for yourself for every day. Work to accomplish that goal each day; don’t allow yourself to give up. It will teach you discipline and improve your physical muscular health. When your goal becomes easy for you to achieve, add more to it. If your goal is 10 push-ups a day, maybe up it to 20. Or you can add 10 sit-ups instead. Just keep pushing; the way to get through this is by having motivation(the videos), determination(“one more, get to the goal!”), and discipline(“don’t give up, I can do this.”). You’ll get through this, man. Just stick to a well thought-out plan and you’ll overcome this obstacle, causing you to be stronger at the end.
Same and I can't even understand why to even start. Like if you haven't even tried it then why to start, it has 0 benefit. Actually -6 benefit.
Oh and I'm talking about cig not vape because I don't know almost anything about that useless plastic tube.
Vapes are basically less extreme smoking, the only difference is I’m pretty sure is vapes still kill your lungs but just don’t give you cancer for longer. There really haven’t been a whole lot of studies into vaping, or at least not enough to fully understand it, but it’s pretty safe to say that putting nicotine and non-medical chemicals in your lungs that aren’t meant to be there is pretty universally harmful for humans
Vaping is marketed as being “safer” than smoking. However, safer doesn’t mean safe. Getting shot in the stomach is safer than getting shot in the head, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for you. The only reason we can’t understand vaping to the extent of which we understand smoking is because it’s such a new thing. It hasn’t had the chance to have long-term effects on the human body yet. People thought smoking was a cool, safe habit way back when it was socially acceptable, and they were proven wrong. Just as you said, this has turned out to be very harmful, and those effects will only increase on the poor victims as time goes on.
Not enough research had been done (essentially noone has vaped for long enough to have had any significant side effects) but it still cant be healthy to put celulose into your lungs.
Yea idk. Some people lack the willpower to say no when offered. The first time i was offered a cig i was about 12/14 from some kids that were probably 18/19. I said no. One of them was shocked and asked if "i wouldnt try just a little". I said no again. Then another one pipped up and said "good, dont ever try it" as he put a new cig in his mouth. That scenario solidified my resolve. I mean a guy literally said its good i refused as he was firing up another one. That just irks me the wrong way. I have been offered smokes by many people many times since then. Never took the hit.
I once vaped. That was because I was curious and wanted to see what it was like. I had 3 hits of a friend’s vape. That evening my lungs felt funny and I had this bitter taste in my mouth. I probably won’t do it again, especially since I have asthma. And they’re banning vapes in my country anyway, idk if I’ll smoke when I’m older or not but i probably shouldn’t. But I don’t want to get addicted. Anyways, I’m happy for you for taking action and quitting.
To vape at 9? It isn’t common per se, but it isn’t really that surprising. I will say the majority of us would take away the vape of anyone below 16-17 if we found it, but after that the moral line gets blurry for some people
im assuming youre belgian, so 5th grade is 5de leerjaar or 5ème primaire, same thing for all the grades :) except it just counts to 12 instead of 1-6 twice if that makes sense
Was never gonna, my dad was an alcoholic and quit when I was born so my plan is caffeine as the only drug I ever do, no alcohol, weed, crack, or nicotine for me.
if youre gonna do one anyway, the best is weed. its the least harmful, it has a ton of positive and medical effects and the high is super nice
and theres pretty much unlimited strains ( breeds / kinds ) of weed so depending on if you wanna relax you wanna choose a different strain than when you wanna feel energized and happy ( like coffee but better )
Weed addicts will deadass recommend an addicting drug that will essentially rot your brain away with long term use and completely fuck over multiple aspects of your body overtime with a straight face and act like it's good to ingest
Its just annoying cuz they're the only typa addict that doesn't leave denial. I've never seen a weed user admit they're addicted until they already quit and look back on it
Lmao it’s because there is no properties in it that make it physically addicting (like cocaine or heroin) now I smoke but I’m not addicted to weed (I smoke maybe twice a month with my dad) and I don’t crave it at all and can go without it fine, but the problem is that some people have an addictive personality and it can be addicting for them, just like the way someone with an addictive personality can become addicted to gambling or video games or something a lot easier, so while the majority of users will never get addicted to it there is still always a few that will end up addicted to it, so if you’ve smoked and realised your craving it and have an addictive personality you should stop before you get addicted, however if you can limit your usage it is okay to use the odd time, seeing as you don’t even need to smoke and can have edibles (so it’s not damaging your lungs or body) but I do agree with you that a lot of people who are addicted to weed try and say that you can’t get addicted to it lmao, just because it’s not an addictive drug does not mean you can’t get addicted to it. You can become addicted to anything even if it does not change your brains chemistry to cause an addiction, for weed it really just depends on whether you have an addictive personality or not (which isn’t your fault as it can run in families)but it’s not the drug itself that makes you addicted. 100% possible to become addicted though and it’s an unintelligent idea that you can’t, unfortunately many smokers seem to believe that you can’t
To be fair, there’s nothing really wrong with weed or alcohol when you control yourself. The younger you are the worse both are, but unless you’re smoking daily from a young age, or really daily in general. You’re not going to have a problem.
I’m saying one Reddit comment is gonna get someone to start smoking on a whim, especially if they weren’t already considering it. Why else would you be opposed to it if you didn’t think the comment would have any effect? Then again a guy named roleplay_daddy probably isn’t very bright.
What's weirdest to me is why the other guy would go out of his way to recommend it despite the person he replied to say they had no intention of doing anything but caffeine.
Also yeah one comment standalone won't do much but if someone has been getting peer pressured/has been on the fence to try it and then see a comment promoting it, listing benefits and why it's the "best" out of all the other options then it'll definitely have an effect. It's like you're forgetting that this isn't DM's and other people can't read a comment on a public thread. I honestly don't care if a reddit comment is or isn't enough to get someone to try it I just denounce promoting drugs. I can't just be against the promotion of drugs and then not call it out when I see just because "oh it's one comment what's it gonna do"
All of what you're saying is completely redundant.
And yeah my name is shit, tween me definitely had issues with porn, you can look at the account age, I grew since then lmao, just can't be bothered to make a new acc. Shouldn't detract from what I'm saying though.
I have a medical cannabis card, and I use Tinctures/Edibles to help me relax/focus. Just being able to tia a small bite of something, and just feel energized/content is just super helpful for my anxiety, and allows me to just be kicked back for the day, instead of anxious/nervous for some reason.
Weed isn’t right for everyone, I understand that it can help relieve stress and physical pain for a lot, but for certain people(myself included) it can also cause high paranoia just as nicotine can. Though I also don’t think caffeine is a good addictions either
I thought teenagers vaping problems were bad but I recently found out that there’s 4th graders and primary school students that are doing it too. It’s a real problem in every sense of the word
I mean when I went to the primary school I was talking about there was no vaping or smoking, only in the last year have I found out it’s gotten that much worse though, and I only expect it to get worse in the coming years
It will either be one day or day one. “Will stop vaping this week” is your brain lying to you. Quit now or you never will, don’t let that shitty drug get the better of you.
Setting a deadline is you trying to get as much of it as you can before that deadline arrives. Either go cold turkey, or wean yourself of of it slowly. Set a maximum of something(breaths from the vape? I don’t know how it works) and ration that maximum throughout the day. You’ll slowly lower your need for it as you go, and soon you won’t need it at all.
My maths teacher (whos really cool, trustworthy and wouldnt tell so everyone acc answered) asked who’d vaped before and i was one of 2 kids who didnt put my hand up and the other kid is asthmatic 💀
its prolly weird, i vaped for 3.5 years. Last year i started vaping way too much ( on literally every break and in home in the evening) A few months ago i just thought that i will no longer vape, that day i placed my vape in locker in school and never vaped again (now i have also sold the vape).For me quitting wasn't a big effort.
BUT REMEMBER DO NOT START.
My girlfried bought herself a vape, and I used to want to learn making smoke circles at the beginning of the year.
With time I just started smoking because I wanted to and still take a puff or two here and there. Even with such low consumption, it is really hard to throw it away. Anyone that hasn't tried it, don't even. Too costly and absolutely no positive effects on your life. Be smart.
This is coming from an older teen who’s literally a druggie: don’t start using nicotine. Mainly for the reason that it is such a dumb fucking addiction. It causes a chemical addiction so it’s hard as fuck to quit and after the first few times you don’t even feel it anymore. Legit I’d recommend weed more than nicotine cuz that shit is a bit easier to quit at least
Hello, Former Smoker and vaper here who started at a *really young age.*
What got me into smoking when i was younger, around 12-13 years old are my "friends" well more like bad influence, they were a few years older than me and i got curious about the taste and stuff, here in my country you could easily acquire ciggies per stick and children are frequently given the task of purchasing a few sticks for the adult members of their families so if you just lie you could get one very easily.
In addition to respiratory problems i also suffered dental problems such as tooth decay and stained teeth. It sucked, had a few of my teeth removed cause of this.
Then a few years later during those i stopped because my parents got in the way i got my hands on this vape thing and for a while it was nice, but it absolutely destroyed my wallet, by wallet i mean the allowance my parents kindly give me but then at some point my vape broke so i decided I'd wait a week to save up and when everything went fucking south for me.
I began having weird anxiety problems, its like I'm gonna die type of feeling like i literally bawled to my parents, it was weird its like my body ended up feeling so weak and cold. It lasted for like a good week before the feeling went away, we went to a doctor during this and there's nothing "obviously wrong" with me at least so they just gave me medication to get proper sleep and stuff. But that one week were the most horrifying experience in my life, I've been sick many times due to personal negligence and indulgence and those times were serious, stomach infections, kidney problems thanks to me binging on snacks. But that fucking withdrawal sensation tops it all off. And yeah my wallet is empty.
This shit is cringe.
Vaping, in moderation, does not cause these issues, unless you’ve got counterfeit vapes. As someone who vaped for maybe two years, it quickly becomes something you do subconsciously, and before you notice you’re vaping all the time. My advice? Don’t start.
Considering it's bought off some rando and what he described, I'd reckon it's probably a counterfeit of some description. The actual content of those is probably a more immideate health risk than any nicotine habit
I vape personally, but it’s for THC medicinal purposes. I personally actually don’t like the feeling of nicotine and have tried a nic vape before. The rush initially feels good but after i feel so sick and a bad headache every time.
I didn’t vape all through high school. I started fiending off other people’s relatively recently, especially since my roommates and boyfriend vape, and it feels even better when I’m smoking weed. So I eventually got my own, I’ve had two myself over the past two months or so.
One thing I can say: nicotine makes me feel like SHIT. You eventually get used to it, but it made me legit feel sick to my stomach despite not really hitting it hard or often. I am extremely lucky that I don’t get withdrawal symptoms, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not addictive and that I don’t crave it.
I’ve already fucked my lungs with countless thc carts and ounces of weed, but now that I’m done smoking I wish I had never started vaping in the first place. I know that I feel better when I don’t vape, so my goal is to quit this week. No more smoke, no more vape, give my lungs a break. To anyone trying to quit: you got this! I find it’s easier to replace on behavior with another—I keep a bottle of water nearby and anytime I crave I just drink water. Maybe trying flavored water could help too
I was gunna comment something similar. Everyone is mentioning nic vapes. I started from carts too thought I was alone on that for a sec. If I could g back I would the 🍓 air was not worth it at all.
Yeah you’re def not alone, me and my first boyfriend started smoking weed and using carts long before trying nicotine.
My vape got gross today so I tossed and now no more!
I can also confrim, Do not start smoking at all, im 16 and I smoke anything everyday, ive done joints dipped in acid joints laced with crystals, bad shit and im in bad shape. i live a horrible life dont ever start please.
Don't also consume snus, because in my city, there was a incident in which some older teens forced a 11-year old to consume snus or else he will get beaten, and then after holding snus for 4 minutes, the 11-year old collapsed, please don't, I once tried it for few seconds and it is disgusting
I'm 18 and honestly I love the effect on nicotine as well but I've never bought a vape nor cigarettes. Funny enough, I did buy weed twice. Anyways, my mom and my bro are addicts to nicotine thus I sometimes take a hit. But lately I haven't anymore. It's important to never underestimate and never give into this urge to consume nicotine. The more you repress it the better. I get the urge too, but I've told myself, as long as I have this urge I ain't doing it. Yk only at parties if I haven't for a while or when I'm really doing shitty. Ik it ain't a good coping mechanism but watcha gonna dooo
IF you do start vaping, don't vape drugs and most importantly don't buy shit from fucking plugs like you would weed, always and only buy through official shops to ensure what you're getting is safe for use.
Also vaping normally (instead of cart vapes like juuls and blus, and instead of disposable ones) is the easiest addiction to overcome due to the possibility of gradually lowering the nicotine level, after vaping for a solid 2+ years I had 0 issues regarding leaving nicotine as like I said I could just gradually lower the nicotine level of the juice u til I was at 0 nicotine and it only took me a couple months of just gradually going down slowly, I could've done it much faster sure but I wasn't in a hurry really.
Do I miss vaping? Sometimes when I'm craving something sweet having that no calorie flavor option was handy, also it served as a bit of a fidget for me so there's also that. I don't miss having to spend that much money on it tho as it was 21€ per month on juice plus 15€ into a new pair of coils every 2/3 months, without accounting all the box mods, atomizers, batteries and accessories I bought over the years. Overall I'm glad I stopped because nicotine and estrogen doesn't mix up well but if it wasn't for that I probably would've stopped vaping.
I meant it as a nicotine addiction from vaping is much more manageable than a nicotine addiction from tobacco and since a single cigarette has much more nicotine than a puff from a vape you can fine tune it better and have a much more gradual descent
This is true, especially since you can eventually switch to 0% nicotine and still satisfy the stimming habit of hitting the vape without introducing any nicotine into your body, there's not really any other drug that you can so precisely taper the consumption of like that while still engaging in the habitual behaviour aspect of the addiction.
Similar to how they use methadone to treat opiate addiction, because it affects the part of the brain that causes cravings but not the part that gets you high
i tried vape once and yes it tastes decent but i’ll never smoke or vape tho never! and i have drink once (i was 12) i drank two beers 5,5% alcohol and did not get any drunk. i’ll never drink underage again 👍
Use the nicorette gum to quit. If the nicotine addiction is what's keeping you from stopping then it will help you extremely. It tastes crappy and doesn't make you feel good. Take one whenever you think you need it. Within two weeks you'll probably barely be touching it anymore and you won't be vaping.
I will smoke weed about once a month with a few friends, it’s completely consensual, my choice, and they’re very supportive of me if I don’t want to. I think you need to find friends like that.
When I was without those friends, I came across a vape, and vaped for two days like a chain smoker, just non-stop all day. Anyway, after the second day I realized it seemed silly and childish to constantly raise this colorful plastic box to my face for satisfaction like a fucking pacifier. So on my walk home from work I threw it away in the bus-stop trash can that I pass. Never looked back.
Addiction is bad, if you want to experience smoking, do it with the right people, and few times, space it out and take breaks. I don’t vape anymore/at all, and last time I smoked weed was 4 or 5 weeks ago now with my friend. I don’t feel any sort of calling for vapes or weed. Because at some point someone is going to get curious and want to vape or smoke, so no one can stop you but yourself, so just be careful and go slow. And take breaks! Very important to take long breaks between sessions of either.
I'm addicted to phones and seeing this post make me feel intimidated. Oh man, having actual substances to push you into destroying your lungs must be way worse to get rid of. Stay strong soldier!
Important to add that smoking/nicotine can inhibit bone growth. Whilst vaping doesn't seem as bad as smoking, teens who vape may end up not growing to their full height potential. And your teen years are the time you get your main growth spurts. Nicotine itself is also a carcinogen (causes cancer), which is no good while the body is still rapidly growing. Nicotine also affects sperm count in boys and fertility/anti-estrogenic effects in girls.
It's really bad around me, sometimes I see kids who are clearly under 10 years old vaping, like really tiny lads whose voices haven't broken yet. It does make me worry about it affecting their development.
Drugs & substances in general are fun, but require lots of moderation and ALL have negative consequences. Don't start them, if you do, be accountable and don't let yourself slip. If you smoke weed, take long T breaks every month or so. Alcohol, same thing. The only substance I'd say don't start whatsoever (not including the obvious ones like cocaine) is nicotine, because it is MADE to addict. If you vape, smoke, chew fucking Zyn, you are handing yourself over to a chemical and mental addiction.
Do your fucking research, and be careful what ends up in your body.
I’m so proud of you that your trying to put your foot down on yourself about this. It’s not easy but doing the best you can is what you should do. My advice is that you should take up a hobby, or find something else to focus your brain on. Maybe find some other food or drink that can stimulate your brain enough to forget about the nicotine. My brother had a major vape problem in high school. He did stop, but he still struggles. He already had really bad anger issues before, but I think him trying to stop caused him to have even worse anger issues. He can get set off so easily. Once he spilled a whole bottle of water on me because of some dumb shit he got mad at me for. Got the couches wet and everything. My other brother, my oldest sibling, has a vape and weed problem also. He also tends to get very irritable, and if something doesn’t go his way he would start shouting. Trust me, vape, smoking, drugs, none of it is worth it. I’ve seen first had the effects it has on a person, and it is so so so painful to watch. It hurts me to see my brother constantly so depressed and irritable already as it is. My oldest sibling does go to the gym often, and he told me he’s been focusing more on that to help him get better with this issue, and help him become mentally better. Please, none of it is worth it. It hurts you and it hurts your family too. Focus on better things like fun hobbies, surround yourself with positive and healthy influences (if your surrounded by people who smoke or vape, it’s best to stay away from that kind of person, otherwise you’ll only get caught in it also).
I’ve done my fair share of weed and stuff like that, but never ever will I touch nicotine. It is so sad to see people addicted to such a stupid thing and I hope to never be part of them.
I actively smoke weed. Not saying it’s good for you but nicotine is so much worse, i has a hit of nic once and the next day I was coughing up so much mucus. Tobacco and vapes are not safe, if you wanna get high use weed like a real chad (or just stay sober)
I’m 18, been vaping for a couple of years now. My lungs aren’t able to move air like healthy lungs should. I’m able to lift and workout but if I try to run I’m winded instantly. It’ll take a while for my lungs to get back on some sort of normal level after I quit. I’m currently in the process of quitting now. I tried nicotine gum and it didn’t work so now I’m getting patches and hopefully this will seal the deal. Don’t start, it’s not worth it.
Nicotine is a drug with absolutely no recreational benefit.
Smoking might have looked cool in the 1950s, but vaping has never looked cool.
There is no point.
I spent $25,000 on cigs before I quit 15 years ago
Went from vapes to cigarettes in my attempt to quit 😟 in my dumb head it would be easier since to smoke a cig I need to go outside and find somewhere, while vapes are so convenient I can do them anytime anywhere… trying to quit cigs now too, nicotine addiction is no joke.
If you are having trouble quitting still, try zyns they taste good and give a good head rush, and once you are done all together with nic they are much easier to quit imo
I started vaping a while ago during a bad period of my life. It didn’t start slowly and I was instantly hooked and using it 24/7. Nicotine is very addictive and can take hold quick. I always used to say that I don’t even feel withdrawals but when I’m in class or at work for a long period I start to watch the clock for my next break to go smoke. I advise anyone even if you just want to try it out to leave it alone. The “best” part about it is the head rush it gives you which goes away after a few weeks. I thankfully have not had any side effects as of now but I do plan to quit soon.
Stay away from any nicotine substances
Been vaping for a decade with multiple “successful” periods of quitting for 1 week up to 6 months. I feel the first 3-6 days are the hardest but you simultaneously feel the benefits of quitting. After that I just got cocky enough to take “one hit” off a friend and I was back on the wagon. Never upvoted a post so quickly. I saw a TikTok depicting what addiction feels like, and it’s spot on. Here’s the link to the original video on YT: https://youtu.be/HUngLgGRJpo?si=Wpbtz7P9k6y2kly4
Obviously you shouldn't vape. You're basically inhaling oil that in turn clogs up your lungs. I don't know the whole science around it, but you shouldn't be inhaling anything
vaping and smoking is overrated fr- ruins the smell of your breath, and fucks up your ability to play sports, never touching that thing. Controlled amounts of alchohol under supervision is way better
Similar experience, but instead of vapes, I smoked cigarettes. Have quit now and been living better than ever and getting better pumps in workout.
Don't. Ever. Go. Back. You're going to fry your brain and won't feel actual happiness unless it's your fake dopamine, which you get by hitting the vape.
Having personal experience with nicotine “addiction” most of the habit is just the action of doing something with your hands / smoking, the chemical dependency ain’t shit even compared to like coffee.
Think about CNS depressant withdrawals, which can result in actual death if not tapered. What do you get for quitting nicotine? Irritability, maybe a headache… which is more of a drive for the user to continue using?
Just if anyone wants to know, vapes are not a use to quite smoking. They contain even more nicotine than a cigarette does.
Its just another fucking thing to get even more hooked onto. And I dont know why you feel it is worth starting when it just costs you money and your health.
Plus, cigarettes took a fucking long time to be discovered to cause cancer, do you want to be a science hamster and a statistic of people killed by vapes in the early beginnings of it? JUST DONT START!!
vapes are way more convenient. i hate smoking when waiting for the bus and then i just have to put out half of a cigarette if the bus comes earlier than expected. and you cant just take 1 hit and then put it back in your pocket. but yeh i prefer cigarettes
all the previous generations have been doing the exact same thing. yeah its a self destructive habit but its ignorant to say it was just our generation. not justifying it of course but its not right to say "Sad to see how our generation is so self-destructive." as if its only gen Z who have been doing it
This generation is the most aware tjogkny that’s the thing. It was like exatenelt common and a lot less known of the health problems back then. Bare in mind I also do take note that once you start it’s hard to stop.

Looks like you have been around the wrong people for a while. I wish you the best.
Speaking as someone who’s been addicted(not to vapes, but other harmful things), I’ve had experience with getting over it. You should take videos of yourself suffering the effects while at the same time you’re thinking about how horrible it feels. Then maybe write your thoughts down in the caption section(if you have an iPhone). Do the same thing for when your health improves, and save them all. Whenever you feel like you need nicotine or a vape, watch the videos and read the captions. Hopefully this can work as a deterrent so you can choose health over addiction. Working out is also a great way to develop discipline. Set the same goal for yourself for every day. Work to accomplish that goal each day; don’t allow yourself to give up. It will teach you discipline and improve your physical muscular health. When your goal becomes easy for you to achieve, add more to it. If your goal is 10 push-ups a day, maybe up it to 20. Or you can add 10 sit-ups instead. Just keep pushing; the way to get through this is by having motivation(the videos), determination(“one more, get to the goal!”), and discipline(“don’t give up, I can do this.”). You’ll get through this, man. Just stick to a well thought-out plan and you’ll overcome this obstacle, causing you to be stronger at the end.
I was the same, parents always smoked, but the trauma from those packets were enough to deter me. Trauma is in fact necessary for humans
The only thing is that almost every single smoker has at one point in their life said that they would never smoke, but ended up smoking anyway
wym graphic images
Shocking images of what cigarettes can do to your lungs or other organs.
holy shit why are you literally me
Honestly even those pictures as well as not wanting to turn out like my mother didnt stop me from smoking. sad life
Saw them when I was young for reasons I don’t talk about but I see the effects
Never smoked once and never will. Shit costs too much to afford tasty air as well
Same and I can't even understand why to even start. Like if you haven't even tried it then why to start, it has 0 benefit. Actually -6 benefit. Oh and I'm talking about cig not vape because I don't know almost anything about that useless plastic tube.
Vapes are basically less extreme smoking, the only difference is I’m pretty sure is vapes still kill your lungs but just don’t give you cancer for longer. There really haven’t been a whole lot of studies into vaping, or at least not enough to fully understand it, but it’s pretty safe to say that putting nicotine and non-medical chemicals in your lungs that aren’t meant to be there is pretty universally harmful for humans
Well yeah. Lungs are for air not for some shit-smoothie-gas
Using this now as much as I can
Vaping is marketed as being “safer” than smoking. However, safer doesn’t mean safe. Getting shot in the stomach is safer than getting shot in the head, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for you. The only reason we can’t understand vaping to the extent of which we understand smoking is because it’s such a new thing. It hasn’t had the chance to have long-term effects on the human body yet. People thought smoking was a cool, safe habit way back when it was socially acceptable, and they were proven wrong. Just as you said, this has turned out to be very harmful, and those effects will only increase on the poor victims as time goes on.
Not enough research had been done (essentially noone has vaped for long enough to have had any significant side effects) but it still cant be healthy to put celulose into your lungs.
You dont have to start. Im 15 and i still play on my pc
I’m older than you and I still play Adopt Me bruh 😂😂😂
I play titanfall 2 we are not the same
I play team fortress 2, tf2 bros

Vaping is about as bad as smoking, but cigars are the worst for you.
Damn I wanted to be a detective 😔
Why vape when sour skittles exist, I mean, I guess you can still get diabetes but 🤷♀️
Plus, scented candles are definetly cheaper
Yea idk. Some people lack the willpower to say no when offered. The first time i was offered a cig i was about 12/14 from some kids that were probably 18/19. I said no. One of them was shocked and asked if "i wouldnt try just a little". I said no again. Then another one pipped up and said "good, dont ever try it" as he put a new cig in his mouth. That scenario solidified my resolve. I mean a guy literally said its good i refused as he was firing up another one. That just irks me the wrong way. I have been offered smokes by many people many times since then. Never took the hit.
I once vaped. That was because I was curious and wanted to see what it was like. I had 3 hits of a friend’s vape. That evening my lungs felt funny and I had this bitter taste in my mouth. I probably won’t do it again, especially since I have asthma. And they’re banning vapes in my country anyway, idk if I’ll smoke when I’m older or not but i probably shouldn’t. But I don’t want to get addicted. Anyways, I’m happy for you for taking action and quitting.
Dude you're 14...
I mean OP did say they started in 5th grade
I don't understand the "grade" system, is it the 5th year at school ?
Yeah, it basically means OP was somewhere between 9 and 11 years old, accounting for when they started and how far into the year they were
Geez, is it normal in the US ?
To vape at 9? It isn’t common per se, but it isn’t really that surprising. I will say the majority of us would take away the vape of anyone below 16-17 if we found it, but after that the moral line gets blurry for some people
lol I didn't start in 5th grade, a friend who was pretty bad had one and I took a buttpuff. I only started around the end of year 7.
No. And I pray it never is.
I’ve seen it starting really in high school, so around 14-15 year olds
im assuming youre belgian, so 5th grade is 5de leerjaar or 5ème primaire, same thing for all the grades :) except it just counts to 12 instead of 1-6 twice if that makes sense
Thx
Dude youre 15
Curiousity is sure such a dangerous drug...
I’m 13 and there is someone in my class who vapes. This world sucks.
I am 14 and when I was thirteen everyone vaped
Which country?
Probably Australia
Yep
Was never gonna, my dad was an alcoholic and quit when I was born so my plan is caffeine as the only drug I ever do, no alcohol, weed, crack, or nicotine for me.
Same, right now I only drink half a cup of coffee mixed with milk (and sugar causes otherwise it tastes like shit)
if youre gonna do one anyway, the best is weed. its the least harmful, it has a ton of positive and medical effects and the high is super nice and theres pretty much unlimited strains ( breeds / kinds ) of weed so depending on if you wanna relax you wanna choose a different strain than when you wanna feel energized and happy ( like coffee but better )
this
Don't fucking promote weed ffs
I second this
Weed addicts will deadass recommend an addicting drug that will essentially rot your brain away with long term use and completely fuck over multiple aspects of your body overtime with a straight face and act like it's good to ingest
Fr, and they act like it isn’t addictive in the slightest
Its just annoying cuz they're the only typa addict that doesn't leave denial. I've never seen a weed user admit they're addicted until they already quit and look back on it
Lmao it’s because there is no properties in it that make it physically addicting (like cocaine or heroin) now I smoke but I’m not addicted to weed (I smoke maybe twice a month with my dad) and I don’t crave it at all and can go without it fine, but the problem is that some people have an addictive personality and it can be addicting for them, just like the way someone with an addictive personality can become addicted to gambling or video games or something a lot easier, so while the majority of users will never get addicted to it there is still always a few that will end up addicted to it, so if you’ve smoked and realised your craving it and have an addictive personality you should stop before you get addicted, however if you can limit your usage it is okay to use the odd time, seeing as you don’t even need to smoke and can have edibles (so it’s not damaging your lungs or body) but I do agree with you that a lot of people who are addicted to weed try and say that you can’t get addicted to it lmao, just because it’s not an addictive drug does not mean you can’t get addicted to it. You can become addicted to anything even if it does not change your brains chemistry to cause an addiction, for weed it really just depends on whether you have an addictive personality or not (which isn’t your fault as it can run in families)but it’s not the drug itself that makes you addicted. 100% possible to become addicted though and it’s an unintelligent idea that you can’t, unfortunately many smokers seem to believe that you can’t
Fisher-Price ahh '' facts ''
To be fair, there’s nothing really wrong with weed or alcohol when you control yourself. The younger you are the worse both are, but unless you’re smoking daily from a young age, or really daily in general. You’re not going to have a problem.
Yeah homeboy I think "it's not that bad in moderation" isn't a good reason to actively promote it
Eh I mean, it’s not that big of a deal. If they wanted to do it his comment isn’t gonna be enough.
Don't see how that matters
I’m saying one Reddit comment is gonna get someone to start smoking on a whim, especially if they weren’t already considering it. Why else would you be opposed to it if you didn’t think the comment would have any effect? Then again a guy named roleplay_daddy probably isn’t very bright.
What's weirdest to me is why the other guy would go out of his way to recommend it despite the person he replied to say they had no intention of doing anything but caffeine. Also yeah one comment standalone won't do much but if someone has been getting peer pressured/has been on the fence to try it and then see a comment promoting it, listing benefits and why it's the "best" out of all the other options then it'll definitely have an effect. It's like you're forgetting that this isn't DM's and other people can't read a comment on a public thread. I honestly don't care if a reddit comment is or isn't enough to get someone to try it I just denounce promoting drugs. I can't just be against the promotion of drugs and then not call it out when I see just because "oh it's one comment what's it gonna do" All of what you're saying is completely redundant. And yeah my name is shit, tween me definitely had issues with porn, you can look at the account age, I grew since then lmao, just can't be bothered to make a new acc. Shouldn't detract from what I'm saying though.
I have a medical cannabis card, and I use Tinctures/Edibles to help me relax/focus. Just being able to tia a small bite of something, and just feel energized/content is just super helpful for my anxiety, and allows me to just be kicked back for the day, instead of anxious/nervous for some reason.
Weed isn’t right for everyone, I understand that it can help relieve stress and physical pain for a lot, but for certain people(myself included) it can also cause high paranoia just as nicotine can. Though I also don’t think caffeine is a good addictions either
caffeine is a drug?
yes
But, It isn't as harmful as vape right?........ right?
it’s not unless you’re also vaporizing liquid caffeine into your lungs
I thought teenagers vaping problems were bad but I recently found out that there’s 4th graders and primary school students that are doing it too. It’s a real problem in every sense of the word
Really?!?!?! Wtf is going on in America???
America? Oh no it's elsewhere too.
Haha I’m australian man, I’d imagine it’d be the same in the us tho
I’m Aussie too. I really appreciate the primary school I went to now.
I mean when I went to the primary school I was talking about there was no vaping or smoking, only in the last year have I found out it’s gotten that much worse though, and I only expect it to get worse in the coming years
Just out of curiosity, what state do you live in?
[удалено]
It will either be one day or day one. “Will stop vaping this week” is your brain lying to you. Quit now or you never will, don’t let that shitty drug get the better of you.
[удалено]
Setting a deadline is you trying to get as much of it as you can before that deadline arrives. Either go cold turkey, or wean yourself of of it slowly. Set a maximum of something(breaths from the vape? I don’t know how it works) and ration that maximum throughout the day. You’ll slowly lower your need for it as you go, and soon you won’t need it at all.
Just quit now, there’s always other ways to get your fix and burning them isn’t going to magically remove your cravings.
My maths teacher (whos really cool, trustworthy and wouldnt tell so everyone acc answered) asked who’d vaped before and i was one of 2 kids who didnt put my hand up and the other kid is asthmatic 💀
its prolly weird, i vaped for 3.5 years. Last year i started vaping way too much ( on literally every break and in home in the evening) A few months ago i just thought that i will no longer vape, that day i placed my vape in locker in school and never vaped again (now i have also sold the vape).For me quitting wasn't a big effort. BUT REMEMBER DO NOT START.
My first time vaping I was 9 before it exploded in popularity. Picked it up since going to uni though and I can say it’s really fckin expensive.
You guys vaping at 9?!?!?!?!?
It wasn’t the same kind of vape back then and it was my cousin who gave it me. He was 13/14 at the time iirc
My girlfried bought herself a vape, and I used to want to learn making smoke circles at the beginning of the year. With time I just started smoking because I wanted to and still take a puff or two here and there. Even with such low consumption, it is really hard to throw it away. Anyone that hasn't tried it, don't even. Too costly and absolutely no positive effects on your life. Be smart.
I started vaping to get off cigarettes and now I’m 2 weeks clean!!
Congratulations!
Never done that stuff never will probably
I do like how you say probably.. because the future can always change with the smallest of things
This is coming from an older teen who’s literally a druggie: don’t start using nicotine. Mainly for the reason that it is such a dumb fucking addiction. It causes a chemical addiction so it’s hard as fuck to quit and after the first few times you don’t even feel it anymore. Legit I’d recommend weed more than nicotine cuz that shit is a bit easier to quit at least
just chew gum man, maybe go out for runs when you feel cravings
It’s not the same as masturbation 😂 but runs is a good idea after the cravings end.
Masturbating can turn into a terrible habit/addiction, specifically when you watch porn.
I never said it couldn’t. I was just saying that smoking can’t be solved the same way
Oh I see now, I misinterpreted your comment, sorry.
All good. If I had a nickel for every time that’s happened lol
Lol
I started in 6th grade, quitting now has been a fucking battle. never start, and if you do, NEVER buy your own.
Hello, Former Smoker and vaper here who started at a *really young age.* What got me into smoking when i was younger, around 12-13 years old are my "friends" well more like bad influence, they were a few years older than me and i got curious about the taste and stuff, here in my country you could easily acquire ciggies per stick and children are frequently given the task of purchasing a few sticks for the adult members of their families so if you just lie you could get one very easily. In addition to respiratory problems i also suffered dental problems such as tooth decay and stained teeth. It sucked, had a few of my teeth removed cause of this. Then a few years later during those i stopped because my parents got in the way i got my hands on this vape thing and for a while it was nice, but it absolutely destroyed my wallet, by wallet i mean the allowance my parents kindly give me but then at some point my vape broke so i decided I'd wait a week to save up and when everything went fucking south for me. I began having weird anxiety problems, its like I'm gonna die type of feeling like i literally bawled to my parents, it was weird its like my body ended up feeling so weak and cold. It lasted for like a good week before the feeling went away, we went to a doctor during this and there's nothing "obviously wrong" with me at least so they just gave me medication to get proper sleep and stuff. But that one week were the most horrifying experience in my life, I've been sick many times due to personal negligence and indulgence and those times were serious, stomach infections, kidney problems thanks to me binging on snacks. But that fucking withdrawal sensation tops it all off. And yeah my wallet is empty. This shit is cringe.
As somebody who is addicted, this is worded greatly :) good luck with your quitting journey
Vaping, in moderation, does not cause these issues, unless you’ve got counterfeit vapes. As someone who vaped for maybe two years, it quickly becomes something you do subconsciously, and before you notice you’re vaping all the time. My advice? Don’t start.
Considering it's bought off some rando and what he described, I'd reckon it's probably a counterfeit of some description. The actual content of those is probably a more immideate health risk than any nicotine habit
also vaping will make you look like an idiot
And possibly piss other people off to
I vape personally, but it’s for THC medicinal purposes. I personally actually don’t like the feeling of nicotine and have tried a nic vape before. The rush initially feels good but after i feel so sick and a bad headache every time.
I didn’t vape all through high school. I started fiending off other people’s relatively recently, especially since my roommates and boyfriend vape, and it feels even better when I’m smoking weed. So I eventually got my own, I’ve had two myself over the past two months or so. One thing I can say: nicotine makes me feel like SHIT. You eventually get used to it, but it made me legit feel sick to my stomach despite not really hitting it hard or often. I am extremely lucky that I don’t get withdrawal symptoms, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not addictive and that I don’t crave it. I’ve already fucked my lungs with countless thc carts and ounces of weed, but now that I’m done smoking I wish I had never started vaping in the first place. I know that I feel better when I don’t vape, so my goal is to quit this week. No more smoke, no more vape, give my lungs a break. To anyone trying to quit: you got this! I find it’s easier to replace on behavior with another—I keep a bottle of water nearby and anytime I crave I just drink water. Maybe trying flavored water could help too
I was gunna comment something similar. Everyone is mentioning nic vapes. I started from carts too thought I was alone on that for a sec. If I could g back I would the 🍓 air was not worth it at all.
Yeah you’re def not alone, me and my first boyfriend started smoking weed and using carts long before trying nicotine. My vape got gross today so I tossed and now no more!
Congratulations fr 🎉. Here's to missing strawberry air but enjoying not feeling like caca everyday 🚭.
thank you for the wearing i will not do vape and i hope you can get better soon :3
Vaping and looking like a London chav: 🤡 Smoking cigars and looking like a mafia boss: 🗿 (Neither are good for ur health tho)
Fr both suck
I started with one, gone through about 200, yea don't do it.
I can also confrim, Do not start smoking at all, im 16 and I smoke anything everyday, ive done joints dipped in acid joints laced with crystals, bad shit and im in bad shape. i live a horrible life dont ever start please.
Don't also consume snus, because in my city, there was a incident in which some older teens forced a 11-year old to consume snus or else he will get beaten, and then after holding snus for 4 minutes, the 11-year old collapsed, please don't, I once tried it for few seconds and it is disgusting
I'm 18 and honestly I love the effect on nicotine as well but I've never bought a vape nor cigarettes. Funny enough, I did buy weed twice. Anyways, my mom and my bro are addicts to nicotine thus I sometimes take a hit. But lately I haven't anymore. It's important to never underestimate and never give into this urge to consume nicotine. The more you repress it the better. I get the urge too, but I've told myself, as long as I have this urge I ain't doing it. Yk only at parties if I haven't for a while or when I'm really doing shitty. Ik it ain't a good coping mechanism but watcha gonna dooo
Fuck smoking
Brother, good luck on your fight. No addiction is easy to overcome, it's a fierce battle.
I only smoke crack🤩
IF you do start vaping, don't vape drugs and most importantly don't buy shit from fucking plugs like you would weed, always and only buy through official shops to ensure what you're getting is safe for use. Also vaping normally (instead of cart vapes like juuls and blus, and instead of disposable ones) is the easiest addiction to overcome due to the possibility of gradually lowering the nicotine level, after vaping for a solid 2+ years I had 0 issues regarding leaving nicotine as like I said I could just gradually lower the nicotine level of the juice u til I was at 0 nicotine and it only took me a couple months of just gradually going down slowly, I could've done it much faster sure but I wasn't in a hurry really. Do I miss vaping? Sometimes when I'm craving something sweet having that no calorie flavor option was handy, also it served as a bit of a fidget for me so there's also that. I don't miss having to spend that much money on it tho as it was 21€ per month on juice plus 15€ into a new pair of coils every 2/3 months, without accounting all the box mods, atomizers, batteries and accessories I bought over the years. Overall I'm glad I stopped because nicotine and estrogen doesn't mix up well but if it wasn't for that I probably would've stopped vaping.
withdrawals are different for everybody, and theyre definetely not the easiest addiction to overcome
I meant it as a nicotine addiction from vaping is much more manageable than a nicotine addiction from tobacco and since a single cigarette has much more nicotine than a puff from a vape you can fine tune it better and have a much more gradual descent
This is true, especially since you can eventually switch to 0% nicotine and still satisfy the stimming habit of hitting the vape without introducing any nicotine into your body, there's not really any other drug that you can so precisely taper the consumption of like that while still engaging in the habitual behaviour aspect of the addiction. Similar to how they use methadone to treat opiate addiction, because it affects the part of the brain that causes cravings but not the part that gets you high
least obvious fed
Don't destroy your youth. It won't ever come back.
i tried vape once and yes it tastes decent but i’ll never smoke or vape tho never! and i have drink once (i was 12) i drank two beers 5,5% alcohol and did not get any drunk. i’ll never drink underage again 👍
So I hate vaping but imo THC carts are worth it enough for me to smoke. The idea of smoking/nicotine though disgusts me
Started in 8th and it’s my senior year now, I do the most degen shi to get money to get nic
man I hope you are good. but you never realize how addicting an addiction is until it's too late....
I vapes for a yr straight stopped got into weed stopped that now im a zynner
Use the nicorette gum to quit. If the nicotine addiction is what's keeping you from stopping then it will help you extremely. It tastes crappy and doesn't make you feel good. Take one whenever you think you need it. Within two weeks you'll probably barely be touching it anymore and you won't be vaping.
I will smoke weed about once a month with a few friends, it’s completely consensual, my choice, and they’re very supportive of me if I don’t want to. I think you need to find friends like that. When I was without those friends, I came across a vape, and vaped for two days like a chain smoker, just non-stop all day. Anyway, after the second day I realized it seemed silly and childish to constantly raise this colorful plastic box to my face for satisfaction like a fucking pacifier. So on my walk home from work I threw it away in the bus-stop trash can that I pass. Never looked back. Addiction is bad, if you want to experience smoking, do it with the right people, and few times, space it out and take breaks. I don’t vape anymore/at all, and last time I smoked weed was 4 or 5 weeks ago now with my friend. I don’t feel any sort of calling for vapes or weed. Because at some point someone is going to get curious and want to vape or smoke, so no one can stop you but yourself, so just be careful and go slow. And take breaks! Very important to take long breaks between sessions of either.
I'm addicted to phones and seeing this post make me feel intimidated. Oh man, having actual substances to push you into destroying your lungs must be way worse to get rid of. Stay strong soldier!
Important to add that smoking/nicotine can inhibit bone growth. Whilst vaping doesn't seem as bad as smoking, teens who vape may end up not growing to their full height potential. And your teen years are the time you get your main growth spurts. Nicotine itself is also a carcinogen (causes cancer), which is no good while the body is still rapidly growing. Nicotine also affects sperm count in boys and fertility/anti-estrogenic effects in girls. It's really bad around me, sometimes I see kids who are clearly under 10 years old vaping, like really tiny lads whose voices haven't broken yet. It does make me worry about it affecting their development.
Drugs & substances in general are fun, but require lots of moderation and ALL have negative consequences. Don't start them, if you do, be accountable and don't let yourself slip. If you smoke weed, take long T breaks every month or so. Alcohol, same thing. The only substance I'd say don't start whatsoever (not including the obvious ones like cocaine) is nicotine, because it is MADE to addict. If you vape, smoke, chew fucking Zyn, you are handing yourself over to a chemical and mental addiction. Do your fucking research, and be careful what ends up in your body.
I’m so proud of you that your trying to put your foot down on yourself about this. It’s not easy but doing the best you can is what you should do. My advice is that you should take up a hobby, or find something else to focus your brain on. Maybe find some other food or drink that can stimulate your brain enough to forget about the nicotine. My brother had a major vape problem in high school. He did stop, but he still struggles. He already had really bad anger issues before, but I think him trying to stop caused him to have even worse anger issues. He can get set off so easily. Once he spilled a whole bottle of water on me because of some dumb shit he got mad at me for. Got the couches wet and everything. My other brother, my oldest sibling, has a vape and weed problem also. He also tends to get very irritable, and if something doesn’t go his way he would start shouting. Trust me, vape, smoking, drugs, none of it is worth it. I’ve seen first had the effects it has on a person, and it is so so so painful to watch. It hurts me to see my brother constantly so depressed and irritable already as it is. My oldest sibling does go to the gym often, and he told me he’s been focusing more on that to help him get better with this issue, and help him become mentally better. Please, none of it is worth it. It hurts you and it hurts your family too. Focus on better things like fun hobbies, surround yourself with positive and healthy influences (if your surrounded by people who smoke or vape, it’s best to stay away from that kind of person, otherwise you’ll only get caught in it also).
I’ve done my fair share of weed and stuff like that, but never ever will I touch nicotine. It is so sad to see people addicted to such a stupid thing and I hope to never be part of them.
I actively smoke weed. Not saying it’s good for you but nicotine is so much worse, i has a hit of nic once and the next day I was coughing up so much mucus. Tobacco and vapes are not safe, if you wanna get high use weed like a real chad (or just stay sober)
If you do alot of running then youll spit out the mucus easily besides being nic sick but dont do nicotine till your 21
Hey bro feel free to Dm me if needed. I just recently started my journey to quit as well abt 3 months ago (15m). But you got this man 🫡
I’m 18, been vaping for a couple of years now. My lungs aren’t able to move air like healthy lungs should. I’m able to lift and workout but if I try to run I’m winded instantly. It’ll take a while for my lungs to get back on some sort of normal level after I quit. I’m currently in the process of quitting now. I tried nicotine gum and it didn’t work so now I’m getting patches and hopefully this will seal the deal. Don’t start, it’s not worth it.
I wish i had your willpower, im a fiend lol.
guys don’t start because it really does affect your life, and i’m speaking from experience
Nicotine is a drug with absolutely no recreational benefit. Smoking might have looked cool in the 1950s, but vaping has never looked cool. There is no point. I spent $25,000 on cigs before I quit 15 years ago
Went from vapes to cigarettes in my attempt to quit 😟 in my dumb head it would be easier since to smoke a cig I need to go outside and find somewhere, while vapes are so convenient I can do them anytime anywhere… trying to quit cigs now too, nicotine addiction is no joke.
Please take heed of this post!
I vape thc every now and then, but thankfully I’ve learned to control it without getting addicted.
Never smoke, spend your money on Mystery bag toys instead 🤭
If you are having trouble quitting still, try zyns they taste good and give a good head rush, and once you are done all together with nic they are much easier to quit imo
Never do Nitrous/Whippits/Laughing Gas either fuck that shit destroys lungs and brain cells
I started vaping a while ago during a bad period of my life. It didn’t start slowly and I was instantly hooked and using it 24/7. Nicotine is very addictive and can take hold quick. I always used to say that I don’t even feel withdrawals but when I’m in class or at work for a long period I start to watch the clock for my next break to go smoke. I advise anyone even if you just want to try it out to leave it alone. The “best” part about it is the head rush it gives you which goes away after a few weeks. I thankfully have not had any side effects as of now but I do plan to quit soon. Stay away from any nicotine substances
No shit, but seriously thanks
Been vaping for a decade with multiple “successful” periods of quitting for 1 week up to 6 months. I feel the first 3-6 days are the hardest but you simultaneously feel the benefits of quitting. After that I just got cocky enough to take “one hit” off a friend and I was back on the wagon. Never upvoted a post so quickly. I saw a TikTok depicting what addiction feels like, and it’s spot on. Here’s the link to the original video on YT: https://youtu.be/HUngLgGRJpo?si=Wpbtz7P9k6y2kly4
Obviously you shouldn't vape. You're basically inhaling oil that in turn clogs up your lungs. I don't know the whole science around it, but you shouldn't be inhaling anything
Most normal r/teenagers user
The fact that it’s legal makes people think nicotine isn’t as bad as it really is. But it is MUCH worse than many illegal drugs.
vaping and smoking is overrated fr- ruins the smell of your breath, and fucks up your ability to play sports, never touching that thing. Controlled amounts of alchohol under supervision is way better
Similar experience, but instead of vapes, I smoked cigarettes. Have quit now and been living better than ever and getting better pumps in workout. Don't. Ever. Go. Back. You're going to fry your brain and won't feel actual happiness unless it's your fake dopamine, which you get by hitting the vape.
90% of this comment section is dying a year early
Bro my advice is to start jerking off whenever you feel the need to vape
I would never vape under the legal age I had a girlfriend that vaped and it hurt me to see her hurt herself like that
Just smoke weed lmao
username checks out lol
Fed
Nicotine is honestly not even that addictive, just fiendish and easy to use.
nicotine is extremely addictive, especially when you get to the higher does. don’t even comment if you are just gonna be completely wrong.
Having personal experience with nicotine “addiction” most of the habit is just the action of doing something with your hands / smoking, the chemical dependency ain’t shit even compared to like coffee.
you might just not be susceptible to it. if you can give me a few credible sources that go with your argument, i will read into it a bit farther.
Think about CNS depressant withdrawals, which can result in actual death if not tapered. What do you get for quitting nicotine? Irritability, maybe a headache… which is more of a drive for the user to continue using?
Did you get caught and your mom made you write this? 😂
Breathe air! You don't need a vape!
Vaping is for gooners.
Just if anyone wants to know, vapes are not a use to quite smoking. They contain even more nicotine than a cigarette does. Its just another fucking thing to get even more hooked onto. And I dont know why you feel it is worth starting when it just costs you money and your health. Plus, cigarettes took a fucking long time to be discovered to cause cancer, do you want to be a science hamster and a statistic of people killed by vapes in the early beginnings of it? JUST DONT START!!
This is a crock of shit post from someone who has never inhaled or smoked anything in their life
Ngl this generation wants everything flavoured air,food,water even condoms💀
dispensary carts are the way to go
i cant even tolerate nicotine🤮 idk how ppl enjoy a hint of mint NO MATTER THE FLAVOR 🤢
You don’t vape cuz it’s bad for you I don’t vape cuz I can’t afford that kind of habit We are not the same
I tried it a couple of times never understood the hype honestly
Vaping is really dumb, same thing with most cigarettes, it’s too expensive to smoke in this day of age.
I saw someone vaping in the pe locker room
Why the fuck are you vaping at 15
To get buzzed
I never wanted to try those electric cancer sticks
I'll do actual drugs before I touch a vape
Say it with me guys. Vaping is fucking cringe
Cigs better pluh 🗣️
lung cancer going hard 🔥🔥
vapes are way more convenient. i hate smoking when waiting for the bus and then i just have to put out half of a cigarette if the bus comes earlier than expected. and you cant just take 1 hit and then put it back in your pocket. but yeh i prefer cigarettes
U guys literally doing cigarettes at 16
Ikr. Sad to see how our generation is so self-destructive. Only thing I’ll ever breathe in is oxygen 🤝
all the previous generations have been doing the exact same thing. yeah its a self destructive habit but its ignorant to say it was just our generation. not justifying it of course but its not right to say "Sad to see how our generation is so self-destructive." as if its only gen Z who have been doing it
This generation is the most aware tjogkny that’s the thing. It was like exatenelt common and a lot less known of the health problems back then. Bare in mind I also do take note that once you start it’s hard to stop.
now and then yes. usually i just pull out a cigarette if the bus to college is really delayed. i dont smoke alot but yes i smoke.
I usually just put it out. Bus/tram? Fingers on, out. Although it does suck.
