Vapes and other nicotine products can be highly addictive. So your body can become dependent on them quicker than you think.
How can you tell if you or someone you care about have become addicted to nicotine? There are some common signs:
- Your mind keeps going back to it, even when you’re focused on something else.
- You wake up and feel the need to vape or get nicotine immediately.
- If you don’t have it, you feel anxious or moody.
- You use it without thinking about it.
- You can’t stop even when you try.
- You keep using it even when it’s causing problems like getting in trouble or affecting your health.
- You plan around it, like skipping things you like to do if you wouldn’t be able to use it there.
