One thing you'll notice is that when you hang out with people is that you tend to develop their bad habits

Personally I wouldn’t be friends with those people but that’s just me.

I wouldnt give up on relationships I've had for years just because I stopped vaping. Thats horrible friend behavior

I would simply set higher standards. If someone I knew smoked, vaped, or did drugs then I probably wouldn’t be inclined to build a friendship with them in the first place. But I get that it’s different for you because these friendships are long-standing and/or already established.

If they’re dependent on substances then that makes me suspect they’ll choose that over me if it really comes down to it.

In what scenario are they going to be given a choice between vaping or keeping you as a friend? Plus if you never do those substances you'll know if they ever quit they will still be there because your relationship wasn't founded on doing the same substances

Whether or not someone smokes has no bearing on how they interact with others. Expecting them to be “lowlifes” because of it says more about you than it ever could about them. And nobody’s ever going to be in a situation of “It’s either you quit this vape or you let your friend die right now”. 🤦🏻‍♀️

You just described such a scenario. Your friends presumably know that you’re trying to quit and they continue to partake even whilst you guys are hanging out. In this case, they could choose to be good friends and support you in your journey toward quitting by refraining from vaping when they’re around you. But, instead, they’re a slave to their addictions and cannot abstain from them for long enough to support you as their friend.

You’re right. It does say more about me. It says that I demand more of those who I choose to surround myself with. I’m glad you understand 🙂

Nah, it just says that you don’t care to actually know someone and would rather project your ignorance.
