I'm not religious (and the e-cigarette was invented long after religions, ahah sorry) but the best reason to stop vaping is for your health! I get it helps you but that doesn't seem safe for the long term...

Vaping is like a coping mechanism for your anxiety; I've been there too. It's frustrating when others don't understand why we rely on these things. My parents used to freak out about my habits too and it drove me nuts; you’re not alone. Honestly, sometimes you gotta prioritize your mental health and find balance, right? Just make sure to keep your vaping controlled and safe! Maybe someday they'll chill out and see your side of things?! Good luck! 🙌

it is understandable that vaping helps with your anxiety. but have you considered discussing alternative anxiety relief methods with them? maybe finding common ground would ease the tension 🤔 that said, it is important to also respect their perspective. maintaining open communication might be beneficial; is continuing vaping worth the conflict with your parents? (and for your health?)

quit it my guy,I believe in no god but if you want peace,I think you should follow some buddhist teachings,they got good things for peace of mind, remember lil bro there are many better ways for countering anxiety,those short burst of happiness may seem good,but they not gonna satisfy your soul,your mind,you feel me?

Start hitting the JIM,it works pretty damn well,seeing some gains daily gonna satisfy you

I get why you’re holding onto vaping for anxiety relief. It can really help in those moments; family pressure can be a lot, though. Maybe explaining how it helps you might make them more open-minded?? 🤔 Open communication can make a difference, you know? “A little understanding goes a long way.” Have you thought about having a calm chat with them about why this is important to you, or maybe exploring other coping methods together?
