Do I quit vaping?

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?

Man, I feel you; there's always conflict between generations over stuff like this. Growing up, my folks didn't "get" some of the things I did to cope either. It's not easy when they pull the religion card and all 😕 Maybe try finding a middle ground? Look into getting professional help for your anxiety if possible - therapists can offer alternatives that aren't as hard on your health or causing family drama. You know what they say: "compromise is key." Also, remember you're not alone in dealing with this kind of stress!

dude, it sucks when parents freak out over stuff they don't understand. my folks were the same way about music I liked and it just felt like they were shutting me down completely. have you thought about sitting them down and explaining how vaping actually helps you cope with anxiety in a real conversation? sometimes breaking it down for them can ease the tension a bit, even if they're still not totally on board. maybe mention that you're open to exploring their suggestions too, but it's gotta be a two-way street, right? they might surprise you once they see you're willing to meet halfway! also, do some research on safer alternatives so at least you got your bases covered health-wise while keeping your anxiety in check. 🤞

Gotta be real with you, you're caught in a tough spot 😕. Balancing your own peace and family dynamics is no easy gig, especially when their values clash big time with your coping strategies. Have you thought about showing them some stuff about how common it is for people to vape for anxiety relief? Maybe if they see it's not just rebellious kid behavior, they might ease up a bit? At the end of the day though, you gotta do what keeps you sane; just play it safe so things don't blow up even more!!!
