Vaping can still get you hooked on nicotine

Nicotine rewires your brains causing changes in your mood, anxiety and other personality changes. Nicotine is a drug. So, over time it can also cause mental and physical changes like intense cravings, increased pain sensitivity and thinking about vaping – a lot.

Nicotine can also cause cognitive impairment. This means it can become harder to concentrate, learn and even remember things. And even if you don’t notice any of these changes, others do.

Because nicotine is also a stimulant drug, people who vape may develop insomnia, or other sleeping problems. Lack of sleep can lead to new health issues.

Getting hooked on nicotine starts off slow. What starts off as “subtle” side effects can quickly become serious mental and physical problems. Nicotine can affect the cognitive portion of your brain, making it harder to solve problems, think abstractly, understand complex ideas, and learn quickly.
