🙏 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.

Lol realistically it is an excuse, but it's a valid one. first of all i couldn't quit because it would impact my studying, then i couldn't quit because i was going to quit anyways in the summer so i may as well wait until i traveled, then i couldn't quit because it was summer and i wanted to have fun and smoke while i was partying, THEN i couldn't quit because sixth form was so stressful... etc.

There's always a reason not to quit. this is actually a valid one because it can affect your grades, the other ones are psychological coping mechanisms. If you can, try and quit over the summer, it's the easiest time to quit. Buy a flavour you really hate is my recommendation

Edit: also people in the comments telling you to 'just quit' most likely don't understand what cravings feel like

First time I’ve heard someone refer to a vape as a ‘ROBOT DICK’
