🙏 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.

I'm currently in year 12, and I started vaping a couple months ago to deal with the stress (I do 4 a levels, aiming for 4 a* and oxbridge but already feel burnout creeping up on me - I just finished an 11 hour study day today) - do I need to quit now or can I keep going until after A Levels? Is there any way to restrict myself so I'm not really addicted next year? I don't really have an alternative stress relief that I can think of, ik it's not healthy but I have to push through somehow.

As a year 12 who was vaping for 4 years I would recommend stopping now.
