My friend, it seems like your anxiety is nicotine withdrawal. That explains why smoking makes your anxiety go away; you're getting another hit of nicotine to ease off the withdrawal.
Vaping isn't harmless. Especially since you're 18, it will inhibit your brain development and the chemicals in the vape are chronically toxic. Nicotine is extremely addictive. Many people get addicted after just a few goes.
There are better ways to manage your anxiety than with nicotine. You’re anxious about your parents finding out because you know they’ll be upset, and they’ll be upset because of the negative impact you’re having on yourself by vaping. Maybe you should consider why they would feel that way.
The only reason vaping or smoking makes you feel less anxious is because withdrawal makes you more anxious
it’s wild to me how willingly people will give themselves over to nicotine addiction
i blame our nonsensical drug laws that rank cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms as “worse” than nicotine and alcohol, even though the latter two are more harmful and much more addictive
i love me some cannabis, i’ll have the occasional mushroom, and i even enjoy a glass of whiskey every now and then, but nicotine scares the absolute hell out of me
Am I seriously being aged out of Lemmy, too?
They make DMT vapes. 🤯
Smoking doesn't make you less anxious or more relaxed, all it does is stop the withdrawal symptoms from smoking.
Im 14 and this is deep.
I mean many people have to find this out themselves but smoking is highly addictive and you'll regret having started for the rest of your life...
My mom found out while I was getting prepped for cancer surgery.. nurse asks if I take marijuana, and I was like "ummm... Yes?"
It's a good thing you answered truthfully. Cannabis affects the way anesthesia works so they may not have given you enough if you had lied and said no.
PSA to anyone getting any sort of anesthetic/anesthesia. Always be truthful about your marijuana use.
My best friend wasn't upfront about Cannabis-use and apparently the anaesthetist really struggled to get him to wake up post-surgery. Scary stuff
Quit before you're truly addicted. If you're still living with your parents you probably haven't truly been hooked like you will be when you live on your own.
The sheltered-ness of kids these days. I used to smoke on my way home from school. I can only imagine that stench in my clothes today.
Kids don't even get lung cancer no more
Recent animal and human tissue studies have shown that vaping is just as likely to cause lung cancer as smoking does, it just has a predilection for a different type of lung cancer.
Can't believe I actually thought I could fool them. French family though, when they found out they just let me smoke at my window lmao.
Garbage-tier children's meme
