I just think it's extremely irresponsible to downplay the addictive power of nicotine and it's a theme I see recur frequently on this forum. I have a caffeine addiction as well, and have broken and restarted it multiple times in my life. It simply doesn't compare. If I don't get coffee (I'm a 3-4 cup/day coffee drinker), I'll be cranky but I'll live. When I vaped, my brain was on fire inside of an hour and a half. I couldn't get through a movie. I'd wake up in the middle of the night to vape. That has never happened to me with caffeine. There is no comparison. And I was vaping 3mg/ml liquid for the longest time. I can't imagine what the hit from a Juul or any nicotine salt vape is like in comparison. Everyone is different. But trying to find out if you're a person who can use nicotine without becoming hopelessly addicted is like lighting firecrackers in your hand to see if you're the kind of person who won't lose their fingers when it blows up. It's stupid and it's comments like the one I originally replied to, downplaying the potential for addiction, that helped me talk myself into it in the first place. After I'd had a few hits. I just hate seeing that in a place like this, with an ostensibly educated userbase. Frankly there's also abundant scientific research to back up just how hideously addictive nicotine is. I shouldn't have to supply all my anecdotes but hearing this community discuss how it really isn't so bad makes me so anxious that someone might actually believe it and start to use. I hope if someone is reading this and thinking about starting to vape that it makes them think again. Don't. It's awful. |
