I’ve always struggled with being a stress eater. Since I was a kid, whenever things got tough, I’d turn to sweets—cakes, donuts, ice cream, you name it.It became my go-to coping mechanism for stress and anxiety. As you can imagine, over the years, this habit took a toll on my health and weight.
A few years ago, I discovered vaping. I wasn’t looking for nicotine or any sort of buzz—I just needed something to help me manage stress without piling on the calories. That’s when I decided to try 0 mg nicotine e-liquids. To my surprise, it worked wonders. Whenever I felt the urge to reach for sugary comfort food, I’d grab my vape instead. Taking a few puffs of a chocolate or honey-flavored vape gave me the same sense of satisfaction, but without the guilt or added weight.
Vaping quickly became my pastime during stressful times—when work was overwhelming, when life threw curveballs, or even when I just needed a break to clear my mind. Instead of binge-eating, I’d take a moment to relax, breathe, and enjoy the flavors without the regret that used to follow.
The change was good. My energy levels improved, and I felt more in control of my habits. I was no longer at the mercy of my cravings, and I could face stressful moments without sabotaging my health.
How about you? When do you find yourself reaching for your vape the most? I’d love to hear your stories and experiences.
