Vaping and ....Spring Break??
Spring break can be a time of great family fun, making memories that can last a lifetime. But making memories means a lot of time spent together, and not much spent alone. If you notice that your youth is exhibiting some of these symptoms, it may be more than just family time overload--it could be a sign that they have been vaping:
--Jittery or has a hard time relaxing
--anxious or "moody"
--depressed or angry
--trying to sneak off alone
--physical complaints like headaches, sweating, cramps or insomnia
Vaping may cause a very swift acting addiction to nicotine, as a vape pen is able to deliver much more concentrated nicotine with every hit. And since your youth is out of their regular routine--and unable to vape--their need for nicotine maybe showing itself in these withdrawal signs. Or it could be something else--the only way to find out is to have a conversation and talk.
Spring Break is also a great time for that too.
