I also vape it actually helps with my anxiety just try not to chain smoke and you should be fine. I’ve tried quitting a few times but found it made this worse so a while now I try to put my vape down and distract myself so I’m not constantly vaping.

I quit smoking for 8 years because I wanted to have kids and I wasn't going to be part of the reason of causing the birth defects.

I relapsed last fall where I was back to a whole pack a day.the I went 2 months with out my anxiety became so much worse with out. So now I'm like ok I never liked alcohol or weed outve a few times I've tried and I never tried or plan on trying any drugs. I eat healthy I exercise on a regular basis and I realized for me to quit I have to d o it for me because I want to..

Yes nicotine e stimulates things but when I have a cigarette I feel so much c almer and I only allow my self 2 packs a week and I don't smoke in my car or house or around my children.
