This is weird. Vaping is terrible, but most people who vape know that and are desperate to stop. A lot of people were pressured into it/were around people who did it when young like #6 said. Nicotine is one of the hardest drugs to quit, and you’re not better than anyone struggling with that just because you got lucky or had parents who taught you well enough to never try it when you were young and dumb
my post was mainly about people who vape bc they think it's cool/ make it their whole personality. and frankly i don't know how much i can agree w the whole "i got lucky" narrative. i hit a vape once in middle school, thought it was gross and knew how bad it was for me so i never did it again. that said, i acknowledge that quitting nicotine is HARD, ive watched friends try. this post was a bit of a joke, i didnt expect it to gain so much traction.
That is fair. Everyone’s situation is different. Some people can hit it once/a few times and be disgusted, others have extremely addictive tendencies, especially if struggling mentally and it can quickly form into a coping mechanism. I agree that people who do it to be “cool” are ridiculous. I used to be addicted to it, my mom vaped and I was also essentially bullied/threatened into it. Quitting was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Totally understand where you’re coming from though, sorry
