Is this a side effect or allergy?

I know vaping drys me out for sure! Drink more water, as for itchy eyes I haven't experienced this.

One thing to keep in mind is that nicotine makes up only about 95% of the alkaloids found in tobacco, with the other 5% being small, but still significant quantities of other alkaloids. Some of those can suppress allergies, suppress certain digestive conditions and suppress acne.

My allergies did indeed come back with a vengeance and I spent the entire month of May eating Benadryl like tic-tacs. I also got a case of the quit zits.

The good news is that with proper diet, exercise and hydration, most of these things go away on their own. That said, I am dreading the fall allergy season...
