I genuinely picked up vaping with the hopes that I would get skinny for the summer in 2019. I in fact did not get skinny, but I did gain a five-year nicotine addiction :)

This is so real. Also not having the mouth fixation from vaping leads to more boredom eating overall in my experience

It took me thinking about my future self as well to finally quit. My bestie and I quit at the same time which made it easier, but I told myself that I don’t want to identify as a smoker anymore. The amount of inappropriate places I hit a vape in is mind blowing to me.

I’m officially 2 years nicotine free this July!!! I also very much relied on the appetite suppressant effect. However, I’d rather weigh a few more pounds and have glowy skin, bright eyes, and healthy lungs. I definitely still have an oral fixation but I literally never think about nicotine anymore and haven’t in so long

One of the unexpected nice things about quitting was the money saved by NOT buying nicotine all the time.

3 years nicotine free. I started because of a toxic man who just so happened to prefer "petite" women, but he pitched it as something that helps ADHD. It does, but in the same way amputating a leg helps for a mosquito bite.

If it wasn’t for me getting pregnant I really don’t think I would’ve ever quit. Now that it’s been almost 5 months I don’t ever think about and it DOES get better. 🩷

I had the thought someday I'm going to find out I'm pregnant and have to quit. and I'd be miserable with withdrawals ontop of pregnancy. and now I'm working on quitting. slowly but now everytime I reach for it I have that voice in my head telling me to stop. and I've never had that before. for anyone reading this, keep fighting. everyday is different and that's okay

Go a step further than that, what does not being skinny mean for you? What beliefs are you holding that are connected to being skinny?

I really resonate with this. I quit vaping January 3 2026 and my first thought was that I will gain weight. Unfortunately- I did gain about 5 pounds. However, this means I have work to do without the crutch of a vape literally killing me. Thank u for sharing!!!
