Lucid, you’ve helped me change my life for the better. Ages 14 and half of 15 or so i was living my life on repeat. I’d wake up, do the same things, eventually start feeling bored or frustrated or really anything negative and then I’d numb my mind to the pain through porn. It was miserable. I decided I’d devote my life to nofap, i tried every technique, every strategy, every tactic under the sun. I started really living my life, i threw the same old monotonous routine right out the window and well, it worked. My mental state went way up and today, i dont even think about PMO. I know this isn’t a nofap video but haha, i just wanted to say thank you. My advice to guys and gals dealing with addiction would be to simply not give up.
Same here, I get told by so many people about how lucky I am for not smoking. It's gotten to the point where I feel as if it's rare to find someone who doesn't smoke, which is very sad.
Huge problem with vapes is that people compare it to cigarettes: Its cheaper, doesnt taste like ass, you dont smell (your parents wont notice), it doesnt burn out like a cig (you only have to recharge or switch the pod), and people think it cant be very harmful cause there are less chemicals. These reasons lead to more people actually starting to vape.
Yeah i go to a top school in my country and there is so many people who vape which is crazy and they make themselves believe it isn't harmless and it isn't bad in any way because smoking is worse
@@tplpaki how about you do more research although I didn't provide me sources because I forgot the name, but it came from that anti vape site but provide you're sources
Storytime: I recently met up with my cousin who I've looked up to for my whole life. He just graduated HS. I haven't talked to him in person since he was a freshman, I'm 2 grades below him but about a year and a half younger. He was #2 QB on his HS football team and had become super built since I had last seen him. He's got high grades and is going into a great university. I was super excited to meet up with him again cause he's always been someone I've admired and looked up to. We talked about college and school and where he was going, but he said he's gotten involved in local gangs and has been at parties that have gotten dangerous, had sex, drank, smoked, partied. As I was listening to this I felt like I'd been lied to. That this awesome leader is actually an addict on the inside. my family is very religious and they don't know about most of the things he's done. He asked me if I've ever vaped or drank and I said no. (Truthfully I haven't. Nor do I have interest.) In that moment he began looking up to me. He said I'm on a better path than him simply because I stay away from that. It didn't matter to him that the statuses and grades he was getting may have been higher than mine, but it mattered that I had control of myself and he didn't. We're checking up on each other daily and now I'm trying to get him into nofap. Addictions can ruin you no matter your social status or abilities. Thanks for reading.
vaping shouldn't be so accessible. it would probably take me longer to find a chocolate bar then to find a vape in a gas station. even if im in school and i need to use the washroom there's always kids in there vaping and room reeks of watermelon or strawberries or what ever flavor they have.
I am a class 9 student and yesterday me and my friend had a talk about vaping becoming really common . Shocking part was that some other students from our grade do vaping and its conserning . In future itll probably become common for students to bring it to school .
I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, getting a vape helped me quit the cigarettes, and then I was able to slowly wean down off the vape. Been tobacco/nicotine free for 4 years now. So yes, I agree with your points on people who start vaping just because, but it’s also important to acknowledge that it’s a valuable tool for people wanting to get away from cigarettes.
ive been using a lot of these arguments and stuff from your videos to help my girlfriend to not want to do that shit, when we first started dating her only influence was her older brother who was smoking weed and vaping all the time, so she thought that was what she wanted to do, but your videos helped me explain to her why its an awful idea and she is actually fully against it now, currently shes trying to help her older brother quit all that and if it werent for your videos i dont think it would have happened. Thank You!
@@woodsy4458 just sit down and talk to her, if you tell her your reasoning behind it and tell her you arent comfortable with it, at first she might try arguing over it with you, and sometimes you just have to give it time, show that you really care just tell her that you love her and that you want her to do good for herself, put in your input, and dont immediately think that shes not going to come around, time fixes everything, keep bringing it up, and if she really does care about your opinion and does know you love her, she will listen, it worked for me, idk your situation and stuff so if it doesnt work im sorry, but good luck!
Sadly me being almost 18 yrs old ive been vaping since i was abt 12yrs old, ive tried quitting 3 times and i just couldnt and i really think this music sh*t has helped me out a ton all i got to say is find something you really enjoy doing no matter how good/bad you are there is always room to better yourself and trust me if i could go back to me being 12 i woulda stopped myself from getting into it. Drugs are truly not the answer. Learn to love yourself and take care of yourself and let your mind be creative.
bro it's honestly so sad. I've never vaped and I've had at least 200 chances to and at the same time you get looked down on if you don't smoke in some way
yeah. i’m in high school and i had so much opportunities to, but i don’t. it hurts seeing my friends smoke wherever we go. but i am still somehow not “cool” because i don’t smoke, i’m still not gonna do it.
I’ve been vapeing for 3 years and it’s so gross and I wanna quit so bad it’s just so hard and nothing works but it really is hella sad that people get looked down on for not vapeing like your getting looked down on for being healthy and not being dumb it makes no sense to me
@@vim4202 I applaud you for acknowledging its bad bro. I've had so many friends who completely disregard how bad it is, and even one who has quit but still doesn't admit how bad it truly is. I feel bad for people who are automatically judged just because of their addiction because there's those few people like you who want to improve and are genuinely good people

just saying, but compared to smoking, second-hand vaping has little to no harmful effects (except for the nasty smell), so i am personally happy that people choose to vape more than to smoke these days, at least it doesnt make me cough like when a smoker passes by. And talking about "vaping to be popular", i have never actually seen someone being popular in my school because he is "cool" and he vapes.. fun fact: there is a vape shop opening soon right in front of the school.. and this is in Canada, a pretty developed country. Can't imagine how intrusive it is in other countries. best of luck on staying sober!
great take lucid, this goes for all addictions indeed! Love your sharp insights. Everyone knows what you mean but putting it in words is something else
I had this happen with Energy drinks. I am a 23yo Male and as a younger person I swore off alcohol, smoking etc (like every kid does). I ended up trying alcohol at ~16yo and got addicted, I tried my friends energy drinks once at ~21yo and got addicted. But still to this day I have refused smokes and vapes because I know I will get addicted. Its so hard getting over these addictions, as of now, I drink alcohol about once ever 2-3 months. For the people who are addicted to anything, try have it less and less or even substitute it with something weaker until you don't need it at all.
The only way to stop smoking is to stop completely, you can't degrade the level of nicotine and stop smoking like that. You need to stop completely at once.
Would love to see the studies that you referred to. I haven't found a study that shows it's harmful. There was a study that showed it caused "popcorn lung" but they found that it was a particular chemical that is now banned. There was a study that showed that box mods are harmful.. but this was disproven because the study was done on if you took minute long hits which caused the coil/cotton to burn.
Lets set aside the physical dangers and look at it face value, even without any dangers it is a drug that rewards you for doing nothing that people use to cope. This ends up building an addiction, as well as a scary tolerance to it. We know what addiction to any substance does to the brain, especially young people
I have this girl in my school who vapes quite frequently. Heck, she excuses herself mid class to snag a puff in the bathroom. Personally, I couldn't care less about the fact that she vaped (because i didn't know her too well). What really ticked me off is when she started selling vapes to some of my closest friends for around $6 (currency difference might be at play here, I converted the price to USD). At that point, I wanted to give her up to the teachers. It's one thing to vape - but to distribute it to others and spread your addiction? Especially those close to me? Unacceptable. I talked one of my friends out of it, they gave me their vape in school and I disposed of it myself. The other, well, I wasn't there when he bought his vape. You can vape if you want to, I won't stop you. But NEVER try to pressure others into trying ANYTHING similar or vaping itself.
the other day i ran into a few of my friends from grade 6-7. they were innocent, awesome people, and i was excited to see them after such a long time. my joy turned into disappointment after they pulled out vapes. they also told me that almost all of our other classmates had found themselves in the dark pit of drugs and drinking. i left quite sad for them, knowing theyve already given up, and theyre not even out of high school yet. they biggest problem is the fact that its unbelievably easy to get access to vapes and weed, especially in canada (where i live), as there are stores for it everywhere. thank you lucid, you are stating major problems on this planet that arent talked about enough. you are an inspiration.
Sure, he has very good opinions, think about this stuff as well. Of course, this is a total W, but sometimes his opinions are a bit extreme. He is smart though
i completely agree with you bro, but never in my life will i accept something that seems like drugs, cigarettes or a vape, i don’t want to get addicted to something, because it’s hard, porn already has the best of me right now. stay strong lucid 👑
Fr and in the end you’ve wasted your life focusing on that rush from vape or drugs and realize u haven’t done much with your life or spent time with family.
Caffeine. Nicotine, alcohol, medicine, sugar, pain relievers ( paracetamol, ibuprofen), or gaming Being drug free is very hard, if not impossible. I dont say this to discourage you, i wish you the best. You need to be aware of how common drugs are, and what common drugs are. If you are not aware, then its very hard to stay away from them. I am talking from experience because i am quitting this garbage as well.
I’m so many people in my class getting vapes even selling I have never cared because it is not my life it’s there’s but I have a feeling they will regret doing this all you do is inhale and exhale fake air whatever it even is
I'm 14 and addicted I want to stop but I can't it all started before I thought it was cool because someone I knew had one. Then I got my own and I was constantly hitting off of it. I'm ashamed of my self I truly am. I've been caught a few times by my parents and everyday I tell my self I need to stop but when I try it's hard because my body is telling me to get more inside me. I want to stop so bad but I've tried and I can't. If anyone is my age and going through something don't get into stuff like this it will make it worse. Like lucid said you try it once and you know that it helps. But there are many different ways to help it's not just smoking and vaping you gotta work on yourself do things you love to do. Don't be like me and get sucked into this it doesn't go good.
This is a video I can't argue with Lucid on, good job. This video was straight forward, and makes sense, unlike some other videos I've watched of Alex's.
It doesn't make sense at all. His common video theme is to critisize somethign without any arguments whatsoever, assuming that the audience already agrees with him. That's why he can't site any studies on why vaping is supposedly so bad.
I’m ngl I was addicted to vaping for a while, and now I’m finally almost 4 months clean!! The whole time I vaped I felt so ashamed of myself for doing it, what did it for me was when day I forgot my vape when I went to work. And having to go a whole day with vaping literally drove me insane and when I went home I took my vape went on a drive and just chucked out the window and that was the breaking point that helped me quit. The first week was the hardest but what helped me the most was to chew on something at all time and every time I craved it I’d get up go to the gym or do something else and also what I found was that certain hobby could make u crave it for instance when I was playing games I’d usually vape so every time I hopped on my pc I’d immediately get the urge to smoke so whenever I felt that I just didn’t play or when I was sitting or laying down I’d get the urge so I’d just get up wash my face, do something else that required to use my brain for ex mediating(which helped a lot), hand coordination exercises like rotating my left hand clockwise and my right hand counter clockwise. After 2 weeks for me personally I found that dealing with cravings was extremely easier than the first week cravings. Something to note is the withdrawal process is completely different for everybody some people might have a worse withdrawal than other people, for me I had it really bad constant headaches , shivers, throwing up(well almost I despise throwing up with all my might so I refused to throw up). Anyways during the withdrawal phase I just drank a ton of water, also taking Tylenol really helped. Once the withdrawal phase is over it’s just a matter cravings that are way easier to deal with. I still get cravings occasionally but they’ve become essentially nonexistent. And if you ever relapse, don’t worry!! Don’t give up and just keep trying. I hope this really helps someone that is trying quit.
I remember when a friend of mine just got into vaping and tried to peer pressure me into taking a hit, I was firm and said nah b. Alhamdulilah i was able to convince him to throw his away into a pond. Good video bro.
I’m in highschool now dude there’s always a kid vaping and they always ask if I want some and I always say no because I’m better sober I don’t care but sometimes my will power is not enough so I go to God or I search up how bad it is these videos make me stronger as a person thank you Lucid
In late 2018 when I was hanging with friends, I liked the scent of one of their big vape cartridges, so he let me hit it. It was often in good fun when I’d ask him so it was never to numb any pain or anything like that. At the time I was still somewhat getting over a breakup and trying to finish high school however, so those were actually stressors. I never had a real interest in the first place, it just smelled and tasted okay. I think the smell is how they get these teens into it.
I found the perfect channel. Your views match perfectly with mine and since im young, I've been able to learn so that I probably wouldn't have in a normal conversation.
it’s rlly sad. literally all my friends vape and everyone in school does. you will not find a person who doesn’t.. except for a few ppl. they even smoke weed it’s rlly sad it’s gotten like this. only 12-15 and smoking already 🫤..
Around a year ago, I was pressured into vaping. I did it once, And I realized this wasn’t who I was, so I stopped and swore I would never smoke ever again in my life. I’m not proud of myself of it but I’m glad I didn’t go further. This is a secret I’m taking to the grave . Lesson is abandon people who will pressure you to do something you don’t want to do.
Damn you feel guilty about smoking once and are gonna take it to the grave goddamn. Now I’m think back to all the things I did 😆😆😆😆 feeling beyond guilty.
I used to do substances when I was younger. Vaping was my help to quit. It has also helped me tremendously with no fap as it's been almost 4 months since I've stopped. Since I stopped no fap I also stopped using instagram tik tok and snapchat. I feel more focused and dedicated to school, work, self improvement and my ADHD symptoms seem to have been less bad. For the first time in my life I was able to pull a 12 hour long study session without wasting time. But I don't think I would have been able to quit substances and no fap and social media if it wasn't for nicotine. It has sadly been a crutch for me that I am not yet strong enough to remove from my life. Your videos help me get stronger and I hope that one day I will be free from any addictions. Keep doing you big homie, god bless you.
i was a vaper and cart smoker/bud, alcohol all that i never did anything harder but one day i realized i can’t explain what it feels like but my entire mindset changed i started reading the bible more i got back in the gym, im starting to have a plan for my life i know what i wanna do and how im gonna do it, and im working on fixing my mental health problems the real way. side note im not against thc/cbd in anyway whatsoever im fully aware that for some severe mental heath problems like ptsd its used medicals to help that person, moderation is important i could not moderate myself so i had to quit.
I was just at my brother's highschool graduation and some of the seniors were smoking cigars after the graduation. It was outdoors in the football field and they had just gotten their diplomas. The families were trying to reach their children that had graduated but there was this big cloud of smoke coming from the field that was horrible. Now I'm not talking about vapes, I'm talking about thick cigars. They were so addicted that right after the ceremonies ended they had to get a hit regardless of the setting or children that were there.
my roommate used to vape he used to show off like he got a life partner i was so annoyed with it sometimes he would blow smoke in my face one day none of them were in room i grabbed his vape and thrown it straight in the graveyard 💀 he kept finding and never found it again he also couldn't tell his home
Lucid, my guy! You always give amazing advice and you actually want the best for all of us. Thank you so much for the effort and thought you put into your videos, you deserve dopamine for that brother. STAY DETERMINED (and lucid ofc)!! ❤🔥
Thank u for this, it annoys the shit out of me. I'm in high school, practically my entire year vapes, then there's me thinking "why?". It doesn't even look cool, it just looks dumb. Idk why I feel like the only kid in my class who seems to find it stupid. Like u said, it was invented to STOP people from smoking ciggs, not to make them WANT ciggs. I've been offered to try it a couple times, every time I say no to it I get made fun of lol, IT MAKES NO SENSE. Again thanks for this vid, always speaking the truth.
totally agree man. it comes down to doing things that are actually fulfilling in the long term and sticking to those positive habits and activities (exercising, lifting weights, skill based hobbies, sports, meditating, etc). drugs/nicotine only give you a temporary buzz and don't do anything positive for you.
man istg i fuck with this type of videos so much it motivates me to be a better person and inspers me more to stay away from dis kind of shit thank you bro really❤️
I don't know if this makes sense, but I've never done drugs, or vaped, or smoked, or drank alcohol in my life, and I am very resistant to peer pressure, but I still fear one day that something will slip up within me and I will fall down an extremely slippery slope. I don't know what to do to put my mind at ease about that, even though this is only a momentary fear that I have. In reality, I don't worry I will slip up, but when I start thinking about it, that's when it gets scary.
Was in the ER a couple weeks back and after getting discharged I’m waiting in the entrance of the hospital for my ride to pull up and someone’s waiting next to me vaping🤢. I can’t breathe that shit!
I saw this video that showed a way of how to quit. They said use a straw to suck out of it when ever you would use a vape and then do 10 push ups or something simular after a while you don't want to do it again doing the exerices increases your dopamine rush the same as taking a hit
Currently at a theme park on vacation with asthma. There are so many people with vapes sneaking them in as different objects (fake water bottle vapes, etc) is incredible. It doesn’t help when I have to stand in a line for 30 minutes with vape and cigarettes smoke all around me.
You need to find other coping methods, it's definitely hard to quit, I personally quit after doing it for most my life. You can try going to r/quitvaping the community is really helpful and the people there would be happy to help you find any way you can quit. I didn't quit until I had a seizure that was from too much nicotine (no I didn't drink e liquid).
Bro forget about high school bathrooms and look at middle school ones, your lungs start to collapse at the smell of raspberry and vanilla smell in the air
i’ve been smoking carts for like 3 months and i’m an active basketball player. i tell myself that the amount of work i put in on and off the court evens out smoking. but ik it’s not the right thing for my brain.
you’re very knowledgeable about vapes for someone who doesn’t vape. i’ve been vaping since i was 13, im 19 now. the biggest thing for me is the throat feeling you get from it, and just having a vape in my hand. and the motion of putting your vape into your mouth gets addicting. that’s why nicotine patches doesn’t work as good as gum, and why neither of those are great options
This is very similar to another huge problem amongst teenagers wich are these nicotine packets (idk what they're called in english) wich you stuff in your mouth behind your lips to "feel good." But the problem is that when you always use it, you're just maintaining the happines. Making it the norm, therefore it's pointless and you just feel shit without it
Everything you come back to when feeling down becomes an addiction. I feel like most addicts fall into the drug's trap because of life issues they did not want to or could not deal with.
Don’t be okay with mediocrity for yourself

Huge problem with vapes is that people compare it to cigarettes: Its cheaper, doesnt taste like ass, you dont smell (your parents wont notice), it doesnt burn out like a cig (you only have to recharge or switch the pod), and people think it cant be very harmful cause there are less chemicals. These reasons lead to more people actually starting to vape.

Storytime:
I recently met up with my cousin who I've looked up to for my whole life. He just graduated HS. I haven't talked to him in person since he was a freshman, I'm 2 grades below him but about a year and a half younger. He was #2 QB on his HS football team and had become super built since I had last seen him. He's got high grades and is going into a great university. I was super excited to meet up with him again cause he's always been someone I've admired and looked up to. We talked about college and school and where he was going, but he said he's gotten involved in local gangs and has been at parties that have gotten dangerous, had sex, drank, smoked, partied. As I was listening to this I felt like I'd been lied to. That this awesome leader is actually an addict on the inside. my family is very religious and they don't know about most of the things he's done. He asked me if I've ever vaped or drank and I said no. (Truthfully I haven't. Nor do I have interest.) In that moment he began looking up to me. He said I'm on a better path than him simply because I stay away from that. It didn't matter to him that the statuses and grades he was getting may have been higher than mine, but it mattered that I had control of myself and he didn't. We're checking up on each other daily and now I'm trying to get him into nofap. Addictions can ruin you no matter your social status or abilities. Thanks for reading.
Thx for the story
vaping shouldn't be so accessible. it would probably take me longer to find a chocolate bar then to find a vape in a gas station. even if im in school and i need to use the washroom there's always kids in there vaping and room reeks of watermelon or strawberries or what ever flavor they have.

I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, getting a vape helped me quit the cigarettes, and then I was able to slowly wean down off the vape. Been tobacco/nicotine free for 4 years now. So yes, I agree with your points on people who start vaping just because, but it’s also important to acknowledge that it’s a valuable tool for people wanting to get away from cigarettes.
ive been using a lot of these arguments and stuff from your videos to help my girlfriend to not want to do that shit, when we first started dating her only influence was her older brother who was smoking weed and vaping all the time, so she thought that was what she wanted to do, but your videos helped me explain to her why its an awful idea and she is actually fully against it now, currently shes trying to help her older brother quit all that and if it werent for your videos i dont think it would have happened. Thank You!
You got any advice for how to get your girlfriend to stop. My girlfriend is in the same situation.
@@woodsy4458 just sit down and talk to her, if you tell her your reasoning behind it and tell her you arent comfortable with it, at first she might try arguing over it with you, and sometimes you just have to give it time, show that you really care just tell her that you love her and that you want her to do good for herself, put in your input, and dont immediately think that shes not going to come around, time fixes everything, keep bringing it up, and if she really does care about your opinion and does know you love her, she will listen, it worked for me, idk your situation and stuff so if it doesnt work im sorry, but good luck!

Sadly me being almost 18 yrs old ive been vaping since i was abt 12yrs old, ive tried quitting 3 times and i just couldnt and i really think this music sh*t has helped me out a ton all i got to say is find something you really enjoy doing no matter how good/bad you are there is always room to better yourself and trust me if i could go back to me being 12 i woulda stopped myself from getting into it. Drugs are truly not the answer. Learn to love yourself and take care of yourself and let your mind be creative.
bro it's honestly so sad. I've never vaped and I've had at least 200 chances to and at the same time you get looked down on if you don't smoke in some way
yeah. i’m in high school and i had so much opportunities to, but i don’t. it hurts seeing my friends smoke wherever we go. but i am still somehow not “cool” because i don’t smoke, i’m still not gonna do it.
I’ve been vapeing for 3 years and it’s so gross and I wanna quit so bad it’s just so hard and nothing works but it really is hella sad that people get looked down on for not vapeing like your getting looked down on for being healthy and not being dumb it makes no sense to me

Vaping is an absolute tragedy. Not only does it affect the lungs of those that are smoking them, but also those around them. It’s a bunch of inconsiderate idiots, that think they’re better than everyone else and that they’re “edgy” - whilst in reality they’re all insecure. I truly feel bad for them. They’re all young and they’re being exploited by sellers and resellers who know very well what they’re doing, but they’d rather sell that vape for the extra $10 in their pocket, at the cost of several lives. It’s getting so accessible I commonly see 10 year olds walking around the street vaping without a care in the world, as if they’re doing nothing wrong.
That’s only one of it. The other side is the peer pressure. You’re often pressured into being around those who vape if you want popularity, or even smoking the damn vape if you want popularity. Thankfully I’m very stern when it comes to turning down the myriad of offers I have received to Vape but I know other vulnerable and exploitable people can’t say the same.
No one in this situation really has any clue the severity of their actions apart from the greedy businesses that make the things and those who are selling them on to people who are obviously underage. They then take them into the bathrooms and infiltrate the air with a horrendous toxic smell of artificial fruits. It’s sickening. I go into the room where the others vape and it feels like I have it in my lungs for the next half an hour, I feel sick. I seriously don’t get the appeal at all.
I’ll never touch a vape or a cigarette or alcohol or drugs. TEST ME.

just saying, but compared to smoking, second-hand vaping has little to no harmful effects (except for the nasty smell), so i am personally happy that people choose to vape more than to smoke these days, at least it doesnt make me cough like when a smoker passes by. And talking about "vaping to be popular", i have never actually seen someone being popular in my school because he is "cool" and he vapes.. fun fact: there is a vape shop opening soon right in front of the school.. and this is in Canada, a pretty developed country. Can't imagine how intrusive it is in other countries. best of luck on staying sober!

Thank you for this great video man.
great take lucid, this goes for all addictions indeed! Love your sharp insights. Everyone knows what you mean but putting it in words is something else
i will never touch a vape even when i feel bad or depressed
I had this happen with Energy drinks. I am a 23yo Male and as a younger person I swore off alcohol, smoking etc (like every kid does).
I ended up trying alcohol at ~16yo and got addicted, I tried my friends energy drinks once at ~21yo and got addicted. But still to this day I have refused smokes and vapes because I know I will get addicted. Its so hard getting over these addictions, as of now, I drink alcohol about once ever 2-3 months.
For the people who are addicted to anything, try have it less and less or even substitute it with something weaker until you don't need it at all.
Lucid your the definition of a leader
this reminds me of so many friends at my school, i am a non vaper so it hurts to watch them do that.
The only way to stop smoking is to stop completely, you can't degrade the level of nicotine and stop smoking like that. You need to stop completely at once.
And most people don't understand that.
Easier said than done tho
@@fluid318 I never said the opposite.
Props to you for being able to make a entire video without making any cuts
Would love to see the studies that you referred to. I haven't found a study that shows it's harmful. There was a study that showed it caused "popcorn lung" but they found that it was a particular chemical that is now banned. There was a study that showed that box mods are harmful.. but this was disproven because the study was done on if you took minute long hits which caused the coil/cotton to burn.
Lets set aside the physical dangers and look at it face value, even without any dangers it is a drug that rewards you for doing nothing that people use to cope. This ends up building an addiction, as well as a scary tolerance to it. We know what addiction to any substance does to the brain, especially young people
I have a different addiction, but this shed some light. As always thank you Lucid.
I have this girl in my school who vapes quite frequently. Heck, she excuses herself mid class to snag a puff in the bathroom. Personally, I couldn't care less about the fact that she vaped (because i didn't know her too well). What really ticked me off is when she started selling vapes to some of my closest friends for around $6 (currency difference might be at play here, I converted the price to USD). At that point, I wanted to give her up to the teachers. It's one thing to vape - but to distribute it to others and spread your addiction? Especially those close to me? Unacceptable. I talked one of my friends out of it, they gave me their vape in school and I disposed of it myself. The other, well, I wasn't there when he bought his vape.
You can vape if you want to, I won't stop you. But NEVER try to pressure others into trying ANYTHING similar or vaping itself.
Damn bro that’s some rad story lad
I don’t think she put a knife on em bro yo buds bought it cuz they wanted to
but they made the choice to buy it.

Bro listening to you Lucid is such a fresh breath of air because all you do is spit facts.
the other day i ran into a few of my friends from grade 6-7. they were innocent, awesome people, and i was excited to see them after such a long time. my joy turned into disappointment after they pulled out vapes. they also told me that almost all of our other classmates had found themselves in the dark pit of drugs and drinking. i left quite sad for them, knowing theyve already given up, and theyre not even out of high school yet. they biggest problem is the fact that its unbelievably easy to get access to vapes and weed, especially in canada (where i live), as there are stores for it everywhere. thank you lucid, you are stating major problems on this planet that arent talked about enough. you are an inspiration.

Fr and in the end you’ve wasted your life focusing on that rush from vape or drugs and realize u haven’t done much with your life or spent time with family.
Vapes aren't addictive if you use them without nicotine
Caffeine. Nicotine, alcohol, medicine, sugar, pain relievers ( paracetamol, ibuprofen), or gaming
Being drug free is very hard, if not impossible.
I dont say this to discourage you, i wish you the best.
You need to be aware of how common drugs are, and what common drugs are.
If you are not aware, then its very hard to stay away from them.
I am talking from experience because i am quitting this garbage as well.
Im 15 and my school is filled with kids as young as 12 regularly vaping on busses. Its disgusting
you really help me to stop vaping bro I been vapeing since I was 13 now I listen to you I quit bro thx
Sent this to my vaper cousin, thx lucid, this summarised everything I wanted to say and more 💙
I’m so many people in my class getting vapes even selling I have never cared because it is not my life it’s there’s but I have a feeling they will regret doing this all you do is inhale and exhale fake air whatever it even is
I'm 14 and addicted I want to stop but I can't it all started before I thought it was cool because someone I knew had one. Then I got my own and I was constantly hitting off of it. I'm ashamed of my self I truly am. I've been caught a few times by my parents and everyday I tell my self I need to stop but when I try it's hard because my body is telling me to get more inside me. I want to stop so bad but I've tried and I can't.
If anyone is my age and going through something don't get into stuff like this it will make it worse. Like lucid said you try it once and you know that it helps. But there are many different ways to help it's not just smoking and vaping you gotta work on yourself do things you love to do. Don't be like me and get sucked into this it doesn't go good.
I swear, Lucid can be a therapist
This is a video I can't argue with Lucid on, good job. This video was straight forward, and makes sense, unlike some other videos I've watched of Alex's.
It doesn't make sense at all. His common video theme is to critisize somethign without any arguments whatsoever, assuming that the audience already agrees with him. That's why he can't site any studies on why vaping is supposedly so bad.

@@dustlicker3 I don't even vape or smoke. I'm just caring about truth. If you claim that vaping is bad for your health, go ahead and prove it.
Bro i could listen to him talking all day and agree with everything he says
I’m ngl I was addicted to vaping for a while, and now I’m finally almost 4 months clean!! The whole time I vaped I felt so ashamed of myself for doing it, what did it for me was when day I forgot my vape when I went to work. And having to go a whole day with vaping literally drove me insane and when I went home I took my vape went on a drive and just chucked out the window and that was the breaking point that helped me quit. The first week was the hardest but what helped me the most was to chew on something at all time and every time I craved it I’d get up go to the gym or do something else and also what I found was that certain hobby could make u crave it for instance when I was playing games I’d usually vape so every time I hopped on my pc I’d immediately get the urge to smoke so whenever I felt that I just didn’t play or when I was sitting or laying down I’d get the urge so I’d just get up wash my face, do something else that required to use my brain for ex mediating(which helped a lot), hand coordination exercises like rotating my left hand clockwise and my right hand counter clockwise. After 2 weeks for me personally I found that dealing with cravings was extremely easier than the first week cravings. Something to note is the withdrawal process is completely different for everybody some people might have a worse withdrawal than other people, for me I had it really bad constant headaches , shivers, throwing up(well almost I despise throwing up with all my might so I refused to throw up). Anyways during the withdrawal phase I just drank a ton of water, also taking Tylenol really helped. Once the withdrawal phase is over it’s just a matter cravings that are way easier to deal with. I still get cravings occasionally but they’ve become essentially nonexistent. And if you ever relapse, don’t worry!! Don’t give up and just keep trying. I hope this really helps someone that is trying quit.
I remember when a friend of mine just got into vaping and tried to peer pressure me into taking a hit, I was firm and said nah b. Alhamdulilah i was able to convince him to throw his away into a pond. Good video bro.
I got friends that think vaping isn’t a big deal same thing with watching P everyday I hope one day they understand.
Started vaping 2 months ago, just loved the feeling of it. I gotta stop. I just turned 20 and been sober from all types of drugs , and just gave up
I’m in highschool now dude there’s always a kid vaping and they always ask if I want some and I always say no because I’m better sober I don’t care but sometimes my will power is not enough so I go to God or I search up how bad it is these videos make me stronger as a person thank you Lucid
start viewing vaping negatively and look down on it. You dont need that, i was vaping for 5-6 years trust me u dont need it
Stay strong brother
I wish i was u
Honestly the biggest problem about all of these things is that the norm keeps getting younger. The kids keep getting less and less "kid-ish"
iamlucid is one of the best creators on the platform rn
In late 2018 when I was hanging with friends, I liked the scent of one of their big vape cartridges, so he let me hit it. It was often in good fun when I’d ask him so it was never to numb any pain or anything like that. At the time I was still somewhat getting over a breakup and trying to finish high school however, so those were actually stressors. I never had a real interest in the first place, it just smelled and tasted okay. I think the smell is how they get these teens into it.
I found the perfect channel. Your views match perfectly with mine and since im young, I've been able to learn so that I probably wouldn't have in a normal conversation.
I vaped twice only because my friend encouraged me and offered me some so I took it. Luckily I didn't get addicted.
I love you Lucid❤️thank you for these deep asf talks always
it’s rlly sad. literally all my friends vape and everyone in school does. you will not find a person who doesn’t.. except for a few ppl. they even smoke weed it’s rlly sad it’s gotten like this. only 12-15 and smoking already 🫤..
also love the point u made about how ppl hit it when they r stressed instead of dealing with it by mediating and themselves. such a good point 💪
Around a year ago, I was pressured into vaping. I did it once, And I realized this wasn’t who I was, so I stopped and swore I would never smoke ever again in my life.
I’m not proud of myself of it but I’m glad I didn’t go further. This is a secret I’m taking to the grave .
Lesson is abandon people who will pressure you to do something you don’t want to do.
If they "forced" you they r not ur friends... I know one puff might seem bad but it wont do shit just dont restart :) ur clean dud
@@YecrozGaming Thanks brotha
Damn you feel guilty about smoking once and are gonna take it to the grave goddamn. Now I’m think back to all the things I did 😆😆😆😆 feeling beyond guilty.
I used to do substances when I was younger. Vaping was my help to quit. It has also helped me tremendously with no fap as it's been almost 4 months since I've stopped. Since I stopped no fap I also stopped using instagram tik tok and snapchat. I feel more focused and dedicated to school, work, self improvement and my ADHD symptoms seem to have been less bad. For the first time in my life I was able to pull a 12 hour long study session without wasting time.
But I don't think I would have been able to quit substances and no fap and social media if it wasn't for nicotine. It has sadly been a crutch for me that I am not yet strong enough to remove from my life.
Your videos help me get stronger and I hope that one day I will be free from any addictions.
Keep doing you big homie, god bless you.
Thx for changing people for good
i was a vaper and cart smoker/bud, alcohol all that i never did anything harder but one day i realized i can’t explain what it feels like but my entire mindset changed i started reading the bible more i got back in the gym, im starting to have a plan for my life i know what i wanna do and how im gonna do it, and im working on fixing my mental health problems the real way. side note im not against thc/cbd in anyway whatsoever im fully aware that for some severe mental heath problems like ptsd its used medicals to help that person, moderation is important i could not moderate myself so i had to quit.

I was just at my brother's highschool graduation and some of the seniors were smoking cigars after the graduation. It was outdoors in the football field and they had just gotten their diplomas. The families were trying to reach their children that had graduated but there was this big cloud of smoke coming from the field that was horrible. Now I'm not talking about vapes, I'm talking about thick cigars. They were so addicted that right after the ceremonies ended they had to get a hit regardless of the setting or children that were there.
you cant be serious lol, it’s tradition to smoke a cigar when you graduate in most high schools, not about being addicted
Lucid is a prime example of an intelligent and decent human being.
imagine walking down a road and seeing 3 lads tryna act hard but instead they smell of strawberry muffins
In my country(Sinagpore) it is illegal to vape no matter what ur age is. Hope more countries adapt to this
i guess it really goes back to the problem of instant gratification. nobody wants to work for anything so they try to take a shortcut.
my roommate used to vape he used to show off like he got a life partner i was so annoyed with it sometimes he would blow smoke in my face one day none of them were in room i grabbed his vape and thrown it straight in the graveyard 💀 he kept finding and never found it again he also couldn't tell his home
I was wondering if you were gonna cover this topic cause u mentioned it in one of ur previous videos lucid, thanks for this!
Lucid, my guy! You always give amazing advice and you actually want the best for all of us. Thank you so much for the effort and thought you put into your videos, you deserve dopamine for that brother. STAY DETERMINED (and lucid ofc)!! ❤🔥
Thank u for this, it annoys the shit out of me. I'm in high school, practically my entire year vapes, then there's me thinking "why?". It doesn't even look cool, it just looks dumb. Idk why I feel like the only kid in my class who seems to find it stupid. Like u said, it was invented to STOP people from smoking ciggs, not to make them WANT ciggs. I've been offered to try it a couple times, every time I say no to it I get made fun of lol, IT MAKES NO SENSE. Again thanks for this vid, always speaking the truth.
Lucid sometimes I can't take you serious but this video is soo true
totally agree man. it comes down to doing things that are actually fulfilling in the long term and sticking to those positive habits and activities (exercising, lifting weights, skill based hobbies, sports, meditating, etc). drugs/nicotine only give you a temporary buzz and don't do anything positive for you.
man istg i fuck with this type of videos so much it motivates me to be a better person and inspers me more to stay away from dis kind of shit thank you bro really❤️

I don't know if this makes sense, but I've never done drugs, or vaped, or smoked, or drank alcohol in my life, and I am very resistant to peer pressure, but I still fear one day that something will slip up within me and I will fall down an extremely slippery slope. I don't know what to do to put my mind at ease about that, even though this is only a momentary fear that I have. In reality, I don't worry I will slip up, but when I start thinking about it, that's when it gets scary.
You a really smart man akhi🖤🙏🏽
Good point Lucid
Was in the ER a couple weeks back and after getting discharged I’m waiting in the entrance of the hospital for my ride to pull up and someone’s waiting next to me vaping🤢. I can’t breathe that shit!
Dam i can watch this video. Thanks Karla :)
I saw this video that showed a way of how to quit. They said use a straw to suck out of it when ever you would use a vape and then do 10 push ups or something simular after a while you don't want to do it again doing the exerices increases your dopamine rush the same as taking a hit
Currently at a theme park on vacation with asthma. There are so many people with vapes sneaking them in as different objects (fake water bottle vapes, etc) is incredible. It doesn’t help when I have to stand in a line for 30 minutes with vape and cigarettes smoke all around me.
i love you lucid.
What if I already let it be a coping method, ive tried to quit multiple times and always find a way to get back to it, kind of at a loss… :(
You need to find other coping methods, it's definitely hard to quit, I personally quit after doing it for most my life. You can try going to r/quitvaping the community is really helpful and the people there would be happy to help you find any way you can quit. I didn't quit until I had a seizure that was from too much nicotine (no I didn't drink e liquid).
update: been off it for over a week :)
Bro forget about high school bathrooms and look at middle school ones, your lungs start to collapse at the smell of raspberry and vanilla smell in the air
i’ve been smoking carts for like 3 months and i’m an active basketball player. i tell myself that the amount of work i put in on and off the court evens out smoking. but ik it’s not the right thing for my brain.
Thank you for echoing my feelings on vaping
you’re very knowledgeable about vapes for someone who doesn’t vape. i’ve been vaping since i was 13, im 19 now. the biggest thing for me is the throat feeling you get from it, and just having a vape in my hand. and the motion of putting your vape into your mouth gets addicting. that’s why nicotine patches doesn’t work as good as gum, and why neither of those are great options
I love this guy man lucid keep doing this bro
This is very similar to another huge problem amongst teenagers wich are these nicotine packets (idk what they're called in english) wich you stuff in your mouth behind your lips to "feel good." But the problem is that when you always use it, you're just maintaining the happines. Making it the norm, therefore it's pointless and you just feel shit without it
Everything you come back to when feeling down becomes an addiction. I feel like most addicts fall into the drug's trap because of life issues they did not want to or could not deal with.
these vids feel like a bro to bro conversation sometimes
Thank you I needed this
