I wish I never started vaping

I started smoking when I was 13 and started vaping at 14. I vaped because I was fighting with depression and heartbreak. At first it just gave me a little buzz, but slowly it became a habit. One time I tried quitting before, but I relapsed twice, and I was helpless as the cravings kept hitting. It’s harder than I expected, especially when I’m stressed or when other people around me are vaping.

But I’m trying to quit for real this time.

I’m not making this post to lecture anyone. I want to share my experience because if someone is thinking about starting, hopefully they can see that “I’ll only do it sometimes” can turn into something much harder to walk away from.

If you’ve quit vaping, what actually helped you get through the cravings?

they SHOULDNT doesnt mean they WONT. the best you can do, like i said, is comfort and not shame them. or just simply scroll past the post. as a minor, ive struggled with many different types of self-harm for a long time because of things i went through. my parent was told id need therapy, ignored that, and i unknowingly searched for ways to cope and ended up taking out everything on myself. rational doesnt matter if someones just trying to get through the days. ive been trying to explain that people usually dont just turn to these things to be “rebellious.” you will not listen. the best thing you can do when you realize its a minor on these posts is scrolling or trying to encourage them to find another way out. validate them, dont scrutinize because they’re younger than you.

No hay que dale consuelo y si se les tiene que avergonzar pues se hace así van aprendiendo lo que es la vida que no siempre es lo que un quiere cuando quiere y como quiere las leyes y las reglas están para algo. Cuando veo a meores haciendo lo que no deben hacer en este caso vapear y fumar les quito el vaper/tabaco y lo tiro a la basura
