Someone might choose to vape to…
feel more awake and energized
stimulate their senses
reduce stress and/or fatigue
relax
However, vaping can also…
increase your heart rate
cause restlessness, anxiety, or confusion
stain your teeth
cause headaches or diarrhea
affect your sense of taste and smell
leave you feeling short of breath or nauseous
cause bad breath
lead to insomnia
make you feel dizzy or lightheaded
Tolerance (needing more to achieve the same effect) develops quickly. Nicotine addiction can be very difficult to overcome. Stopping nicotine use from vaping may lead to withdrawal symptoms, including general discomfort, increased appetite, anxiety, constipation, anger, depression, intense nicotine cravings, dizziness, fatigue, high blood pressure, insomnia, irritability, headaches, nausea, nervousness, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, sadness, tremors, and hormonal changes.
Vapes are not the first choice when it comes to giving up smoking, and the substances inside are burnt in exactly the same way as in a cigarette. Furthermore, there are no manufacturing standards. The components of the product are unknown, whether it is the device, the liquid, or the nicotine concentration. The nicotine level does not always match the amount indicated on the label.
If you vape…
Make sure your vape comes from an authorized retailer and avoid counterfeit or illegal products.
Refrain from keeping your vape in your hand all the time to avoid vaping mindlessly.
Follow the laws and regulations related to vaping (e.g,, do not vape indoors where it is prohibited).
Set limits for yourself and be mindful of how much you use.
