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.
Yeee. I started smoking from anxiety and depression.
10 years later, and now im stuck with an addiction I wish I had never started. It stopped doing anything for me quite a few years back. Very occasionally, it helps settle me. But like. It's straight up not even worth it, when I can manage that lot woth literally anything else.
