What are vaping withdrawal symptoms?
Symptoms mirror nicotine withdrawal: irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, cravings, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Symptoms typically peak within 3 days and improve over 2-4 weeks.
How can I quit vaping?
Successful approaches include setting a quit date, tracking your progress (with apps like Sobrius), identifying triggers, using coping strategies for cravings, considering nicotine replacement therapy, and building a support network.
Is vaping safer than smoking?
While generally considered less harmful than cigarettes, vaping is not safe. E-cigarettes contain harmful chemicals, cause nicotine addiction, and have been linked to serious lung injuries. The safest option is to quit both.
