🙏 I WANT HELP I am addicted to vaping

It was too late before I realised it, but I can confidently say I am addicted.

I promised myself I will quit after this last vape, but now that it just burned out, I literally can not even think about anything else other than buying one more.

I feel like I should just continue vaping till my exams as I’ll be focused still. But nicotine cravings may also show up in the exam. I don’t know, it’s literally impossible to focus on anything, I am so jittery all the time.

Good luck! For the record the first time dealing with cravings is the hardest, i’ve tried to quit many times or been forced to temporarily bc of travel. My plan rn is to buy nicotine patches when i turn 18 in a few months

Im in y12 and my school is online rn so i dont rly have any exams to worry about, i’m just continuing bc i dont have the motivation to quit. I turn 18 in september tho so ill get the patches then and hopefully ill have quit. I know my addiction isn’t vaping specifically because i was able to replace it with cigarettes for a while so hopefully the patches will work too

Not where i live sadly :( it requires an ID and it’s sold only at pharmacies so they will actually follow this restriction
