Expert Answer

Vaping does contain nicotine, so it can be a process for most people. It is best to make a plan for either reducing your vaping gradually or deciding to go cold turkey. Have at least one person you tell who can be a go-to person for you during this process.

Vaping is addictive, and as such has similar side effects as smoking cigarettes. It is considered a health hazard.

Vaping affects your body similar to the way cigarettes do. It contains nicotine which is addictive. It can affect many of your body processes and can lead to respiratory-related illnesses.

Nicotine is addictive so vaping is addictive. The more you vape, the more you will crave it.
