Mental health support
Some young people vape to fit in. Others use it to deal with stress, anxiety, or pressure. If that’s you, you’re not alone.
How nicotine affects your mood
Nicotine is the addictive chemical in vapes. It can give you a quick boost, helping you feel calm or focused for a short time, but this never lasts. As it leaves your body, you can start to feel more stressed, restless or distracted until you can vape again.
Over time, this cycle can make anxiety or low mood harder to manage.
