Serious question: I start to get really bad stomach aches (to the point of throwing up) if I don't vape a couple times a day. I know 1/2
malaroo
Sounds like a nicotine withdrawl, which probably means you're using waaaay too much. Use less.
shhep
SERIOUS FUCKING ANSWER: Be a fucking grownup and contact a god damn doctor you walnut. It is NOT okay to throw up. It is NOT just addiction.
gutding
I will from now on use walnut for my insults! Thank you dear imgurian for this fine addition to my repertoire!
Nicotine withdrawal should make you pissed and restless, not make you throw up after few hours for fuck's sake. Not even heroin makes you
throw up after half a day of non-using. There is something wrong with you and asking imgur is about as bad idea as they get.
It's an addiction, I just don't know how to kick it and avoid the physical symptoms, what should I do? 2/2
anthaneezy
Start tapering your nicotine. What strength are you at?
abetteridiot
Stomach pain like that has serious potential to NOT be just about addiction. Go see a doctor. Ulcers, inflammation, cancer are all possible.
justJazzin

mollyMcTrunkins73
Yes please see a doctor! Take care of yourself @LuftMeister
DwithanE
If you're serious, you need to detox. Look up some natural detoxification aids, sauna, etc..
causality
He's in withdrawal you moron, not full of toxins he needs to purge. A lack of toxin is what's causing his present symptoms.
You didn't even consider the body's counterbalance mechanisms going into effect, increasing seratonin and dopamine levels, etc..
How does a sauna decrease nicotine levels?
get all of it out, the sooner your withdrawal symptoms will stop. In the future, keep your mouth shut about what you don't understand. 2/2
Actually, you cretinous simpleton, nicotine stays in your body about 1-3 days. The decreasing levels cause withdrawal. The sooner you 1/2

Honestly it's sad how quickly people shit on ecigs and vaping. I had friends who went back to cigarettes so people would stop being dicks.
IchewDeadPPL
I sneakily vape and hold the smoke in my lung long enough so I exhale no smoke. lol I'm so sad, but at least I successfully quit cig.

I quit smoking by vaping. But I also wear shirts that declare my love of D&D, so I've totally stopped caring if anyone thinks I'm cool.

I was gonna say he shouldn't give into peer pressure, but then I realized he's a smoker
SomeCrazyNerd
The problem is cigarette companies are trying to make it uncool so people will keep smoking the less healthy option.
whycantiseeprawns
Cigarette companies are funding and investing in it so that they still have an income when smoking eventually becomes illegal/taboo.
Blu for example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu_eCigs are owned by imperial brands plc.

I stopped for 4 months vaping. Literally got tired of answering questions and people shitting on it everywhere I went. Sucks

piedpiper89
Sounds like you need to stop being a pussy. Or just stop smoking.
Hey look everyone it's one of those assholes I was talking about
Boooohooo. "Other people mock me for my inexcusably dumb life choices so I'll keep making bad ones!" You sound like a tumblr trigglypuff 1/
Sorry for your small penis. I only say that because if your this much of an asshole then you must be trying to compensate for something.
Chattafaukup
Its not the act, it's the culture it nurtures. Same reason weed hasn't been legalized. Too many non smokers hate the culture.
RosegoldEverything
What culture do you think it nurtures?
(1)The one where people do something for attention as much as or more than they do it for personal gain. The "look at me" type. Same people
(2) Who put 420 in their e-name because they think it makes them cool to smoke weed. But for ecigs. Just a douche group.
Fair enough, there definitely are plenty like that. But of course, no need to dismiss all vapers as being like that; nearly all I've met -
2) Marijuana is becoming legalized. See California, Colorado, Maine... tell me how "Weed culture" is impeding this.
What about nationwide legalization for recreational use? We dont have that,and a large reason is people who vote that dont like the culture.
1) Vaping isn't a culture like smoking isn't a culture. Some people take it too far. That's not vaping you hate, it's douchebags.
I never said smoking and ecigs were a culture. Just that they nurtured one that most people find distasteful. Yes that group is douches too.

I can't understand why you're being downvoted
sissichu
Because they're wrong
Well, have you read anythink about long term effects? If you read my other comments you'll see that It improved my life, i'm not against it
Because he clearly smokes cigs and has found every possible reason to justify it and make vapers feel bad
swing and a miss, i smoke cigs when i get drunk, which is not often
I don't think so. I think he's right regarding the long term effects, surely it isn't dangerous in the short term.
Brundlepowl
I hear that a lot! And that's the actual opinion of someone who hasn't read shit about e-cigs (and no, facebook feed articles don't count).
Then link something about long term studies, everywhere there's write that they're safer than tobacco (and that's sure) but what about(1/2)
Long term effects? Obviously no studies were performed yet because it's relatively new. Pls note that my SO smokes, I'm not against it.(2/2)
I was actually replying to the "no evidence it's safer than tobacco" part. 1/2
But simple logic should be enough to know that the long-term effects, if any, would be like a thousand times less dangerous than cigs! 2/2
I agree

I respect people who do it as an alternative to smoking. I'll never understand why other people do it, though.

Also, all of the "gay" jokes around it are fun. But I totally support it in people who are quitting smoking.

People have been smoking shit in stupid ways forever, why is vaping the ONE that gets you in a twist?
I never said it was the only one that got me in a twist! :)

Uh... what? So if someone smoked cigs before, it's ok, if he didn't it's not? People smoke. What, depends on choice. It's all same shit.
IJudgeYourFavourites
I think what he means is that they got from a very bad habbit to a slightly bad habbit, if you didnt smoke you just get a bad habbit.
I don't like bad habits. That's my opinion. I respect yours, though.
I mean you said you'll never understand why vape. Which to me implies you understand why people smoke. That confused me.
Ant4N
Eh, I'd say he wouldn't know why people start smoking either, but then people form an addiction to it
What makes vaping a bad habit? Genuinely curious about your opinion.
Well if it contains nicotine its still bad, otherwise go nuts!

Honestly I feel like I'm more addicted to nicotine now. With Cigarettes I would have one every few hours, vaping gives me nicotine all day.
cyanidkatharsis
That is why I lowered my Mg. I use more than I did when I smoked, but I get less nicotine overall.
MissingRuby
I quit vaping 3 weeks ago now it was a lot easier then cigs, after 5 days I felt like I didn't need it
ImgurPoof
At least vapes don't give you lung cancer.
Have fun with your heart disease if you're only worried about lung cancer...
Yeah but who knows what wierd ass disease they'll find in 50 years. Cigarettes used to be promoted for having Heath benefits
Vape contains nicotine, propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, and flavouring. It's the flavouring that can be harmful if not tested proper
CigaretteMan
It's not nicotine that makes smoking bad though, it's only what makes it addictive
That's bullshit! Nicotine fucks up your heart in the longterm whether you smoke, dip, or vape.
MrSebu
Also wrong. Nicotine by itself is not addictive.
MemusSupremus
It's funny you've been downvoted, because you're right. It was proven that it wasn't the nicotine that kept people addicted to cigarettes(1)
It was the other stuff in the cigarettes, as well as the hand to mouth motion. That's why it's easy to drop nicotine levels in e-cigsquickly
Is that a joke? Of course it is. You can probably find papers of just how addictive pure nicotine is to mice and rats.
depressingcomments
Your body only craves more nicotine for 24 hours (I think, I don't remember exactly) after ingesting it. After that the addiction is not
centered around the nicotine. I smoked for years and I now vape. That being said, I hate both and hope to quit at some point. I'm convinced
