To say that my life improves after finally being vape-free is an understatement. Here are some 10 things that happened after quitting vaping.
1. Improved Lung Function
One of the most noticeable changes was the improvement in my lung function. Within just a few weeks of quitting, I could breathe more easily, and my lung capacity seemed to increase. This enhanced respiratory function significantly contributed to my overall well-being.
2. Increased Energy Levels
Vaping had left me feeling drained and lethargic. After quitting, my energy levels soared. I found myself more motivated to engage in physical activities and wasn't as winded doing simple things like going up stairs.
3. Better Sense of Taste and Smell
Vaping had dulled my senses of taste and smell. But after quitting, I was pleasantly surprised to find that these senses gradually improved.
4. Improved Skin Health
Vaping had taken a toll on my skin, leaving it dry and prone to breakouts. After quitting, my skin started to clear up, and it regained its natural glow.
5. Enhanced Cardiovascular Health
My heart rate and blood pressure gradually normalized after quitting vaping, reducing my risk of future cardiovascular problems.
6. Financial Savings
Vaping is so expensive. Quitting not only improved my health but also saved me a considerable amount of money in the long run.
7. Belief in myself
I had tried quitting in the past and it didnt work. Part of me felt like a failure and I felt shame that I couldnt just stop. While I finally was able to gradually quit, there was a huge sense of pride and accomplishment that I was able to do it.
8. Better Sleep Quality
Vaping had disrupted my sleep patterns, making it challenging to get a good night's rest. Quitting vaping led to improved sleep quality and more restful nights, leaving me feeling refreshed each morning.
9. Strengthened Relationships
My decision to quit vaping positively impacted my relationships, especially with my parents who were worried about my health.
10. Feeling of Empowerment
Perhaps the most significant change was the restoration of my sense of control over my life. Quitting vaping allowed me to break free from addiction and regain mastery over my choices and health.
If you're considering quitting vaping or have already taken that step, remember that the benefits far outweigh the challenges. Seek support from loved ones or healthcare professionals, and embrace the positive changes that lie ahead on your journey to a vape-free life.
