Quitting Vaping: All Facts, No Fiction

Plenty of opinions exist about vaping, but let’s just stick to the facts. Here are some of the ways vaping can impact your physical, mental, and social well-being.

  • Many people vape to relieve anxiety or depression, but the nicotine in vape juice can make these feelings worse.

  • Vapes contain hazardous materials & toxic chemicals that harm nature and wildlife. Most end up in landfills.

  • Research shows young people actually want to quit vaping, they just aren’t talking about it. Start the conversation with a friend.

  • Vaping can harm blood vessels and lungs, causing shortness of breath and increasing heart risks. Long-term effects are still being researched.

  • Nicotine can reduce your attention span and impair your memory, making it difficult to learn and get good grades.

  • Vaping (like smoking) can age your skin, causing fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and chronic dryness.

  • While vaping may feel like it’s calming your nerves, the nicotine withdrawal you feel between puffs can actually make you more stressed.
