Yes, nicotine is a known vasoconstrictor.
That's why when you get surgical procedures you may be advised to go 0 nic for at least a couple days, for the early healing process.

How long ago did you quit smoking?
After you've been vaping a couple year's the feeling of "oh my God I'm going to kill someone if I don't take a drag" goes away..
I just spent the last year and a half without any nicotine at all, and vaping under a ml a week..
You get to where you can take it or leave it unless your under high stress..
For serious stealth vaping, simply putting a drop under your tongue can be all that's needed to get by.
The key is having that little bottle of liquid with you. It has helped me in a couple tough situations.

It's been 9 years for me, and I still vape relatively high nic. And yes, if I haven't vaped in a while, I do get anxious. Maybe not quite as bad as with cigs, but it's still there. We are all different!
I have an underlying anxiety disorder and PTSD and I actually use nic to keep it in check.
Me too on the anxiety disorder.
When people tell me to "just quit all nic" they have no idea what they are asking.
It actually has anti-anxiety properties if you continuosly use it.Me too on the anxiety disorder.
Being in the hospital is not high stress? I was in the hospital for 3 days twice last summer. I've not smoked for 7 years, vaping since. I brought my vapes with me because I have to vape once an hour or I might stab someone with a fork. Drug my IV pole right in to the rest room, closed the door, and vaped.
Um I have gone pretty darn close to two years with out cigarettes and I will say that um, it did bother me, quite a bit. Like, not every second of every day, but certainly enough to start smoking again.
I get that there isn't the "KILL ME SOMEONE OR I WILL KILL YOU!" effect quite as much.
The operative word being quite as much.
Also, like I have head SO many smokers say they have INTENSE cravings from time to time, decades after they have quit. It's discouraging. THOSE CRAVINGS ARE IMPOSSIBLE."
I mean if I got them for alcohol is I would still be drinking is what I'm saying. Or opiates. Oddly enough two very pernicious drugs NO issues. I HAVE NO CLUE.
Perhaps it is that I knew, deep down, cigarettes were my true drug of choice. IDK.
And yeah, I get it, they pass. So does most suffering, but like... IDK. Every brain is different, every brain is good like the Monty Python song.
I'm not saying I would kill myself on an island or a resort like where I could have anything but tobacco. IDK I might. Not immediately. For me, the bad time was when the cravings went AWAY,. I missed fighting them. .I was like, "At least I have one side of the equation."
I get that it's lame to miss your cravings or to cry if you find a lighter in the laundry that would normally bring you joy only then you are like "Meh. A lighter. How nice, for my husband, the smoker," And then you cry,.
Maybe I am weird. Oh well Yoga Time.

I quit vaping for two weeks a few months ago. I only vape 3 mg. That first week was brutal and I was not pleasant to be around.
I left my setup on the over the bed table, and couple of nurses and aids spotted it. They all said I know what that is and you are not allowed to vape in here. I'm cool with it, but not everone else is. I vape, too.
Im too afraid of being admonished and have to put my tail between my legs. What are they gonna do kick me out? Its not illegal in AZ.
