It can be like this even when you are 18
My friend, it seems like your anxiety is nicotine withdrawal. That explains why smoking makes your anxiety go away; you’re getting another hit of nicotine to ease off the withdrawal.
Vaping isn’t harmless. Especially since you’re 18, it will inhibit your brain development and the chemicals in the vape are chronically toxic. Nicotine is extremely addictive. Many people get addicted after just a few goes.
I appreciate your concern, though I’ve picked up vaping because of my anxiety… Now that I think about it, in the long run it could make it worse.
I know that it would be more logical to pay for a session with a therapist instead of wasting money on vapes, but every time I think about it, I come to the conclusion that I don’t want help. But that’s my problem, not this community’s. Wouldn’t want to turn a meme’s comment section into a depressing place.

Seems like you’re already figured this out, but that doesn’t really mean anything. People start drinking alcohol (a depressant) because they’re depressed.
