As George Carlin said, young people buy nicotine products because they relieve stress. I was on my way to quitting (cigarettes > vape > much less vape) when the pan hit. I kept vaping cause I allowed myself a comfort. I’m still vaping. I’m in my 40s.
I'm very lucky that nicotine just makes me feel nauseous and sick, it's also really uncomfortable to inhale.
That was my experience with the first two or three cigarettes I had. It went away very quickly. I smoked for seven years and thankfully have now been smoke-free longer than that.
