Vaping to quit other bad habits?

[shawneelynn]

I'm not optimistic, but has anyone used vaping to try and quit another physical habit? Such as chewing finger nails or ice (both of which I do). Like every time you get the urge to bite a nail or eat a piece of ice, or something else, take a hit instead?

I vape for fun (zero nicotine of course, bc I'm not a past smoker) but I wonder if it's worth a try to see if I can benefit something with it.

Comments, opinions, experiences welcome

If it works for you, more power vape on

Why not? if you're vaping 0 nic and it helps you relax I see nothing wrong with that. There are people who vape to curb their urges to snack, for instance.

Hand-to-mouth behavior is an instinctual--even fetuses suck their thumbs in-utero. It's a survival skill and I believe we're all hard-wired for that.

Enjoy!

Chewing nails - yes, but what's wrong with ice?

Well it drops my body temp and it's bad for my teeth, so I hear. And it's a compulsive habit. I get a huge cup of it and everything. If it's there, I've ate it without even noticing I do it. Another thing is coworkers and family members complain about the sound.

I have done this. It is annoying and tedious.

Thanks! That's along the lines of what I was thinking, since all the mentioned activities, including vaping, involves the mouth.

drinking alcoholic beverages... so far so good... 1 yr alcohol-free, 7 months tobacco-free.

I chew ice cubes at work because there's a soda fountain right there. I like my mouth cold for some reason, and I drip menthol a lot.

I know a man who lost a lot of weight by vaping (zero nic), our distributor took some of his favorite food samples (pizza & subs) & created a special blend for him. He's lost over 70 pounds so far, as the flavor of the vape satisfies his urges to eat.

That's pretty cool! I've also wanted to quit drinking sodas (I love the taste) and might try to quit by getting the taste from vaping, but the part I'd surely miss most is the carbonation.

It is definitely helping with my sweet tooth and the terrible munchies i often get in the evenings... Have not been on it long enough to really see any weightloss yet though

 

[Storm100]

Has really helped me to cut back on M&M's, was kinda addicted to them. Still waiting for some weight loss though.

I used vaping to quit smoking, but I've noticed I've also stopped bidding my nails without even trying. I think this is because I bit my nails because I was waiting to go smoke but now I can vape anywhere

I started capping again to quit the analogs, but a happy consequence wad that I also quit biting my nails. I've not smoked not bitten my nails in over a month now. It definitely helps with my hand-to-mouth urges.

Two of my bad old habits (besides smoking) were biting the nails and eating unreal amounts of ice. Stopped biting my nails when I removed the toxic from my relationship at that time....stopped eating the ice once I found out why I was eating it....I was anemic and you crave it? It hurt my teeth also.........since vaping I've lost 26 pounds without trying!

Nice to hear people are losing weight! I haven't (yet), but at least I didn't gain any, which I normally would if I tried to quit smoking.

I'm thinking Iron deficiency or anemia could be my problem, but iron pills make me sick. And there's no breaks in my habit either, I continuously chew it if I can get my hands on it. I've always chewed my nails, whether the situation was bad or good.

I'm glad to hear that it's helped you

Never had a bad habit, never was even a smoker, just casual. But now im vaping like mad: love it.
