But the other day I ended up vaping some melon-flavored liquid. When it was empty, I was going crazy for a few hours, I absolutely had to have more. And it didn't even have more nicotine than what I usually vape. It was just the sweet taste that had me wanting more, exactly like back in my college days when I was eating Snickers bars like no tomorrow. Now that was a habit that was tough to break. And most people I see vaping out in the street seem to be vaping those ultra-sweet smelling liquids.
I've seen multiple friends that could give up an addiction: until after a while and then they couldn't.
For many people, addictions are not that addictive until they are.
Be careful generalizing from your own experiences. Try and learn from the mistakes your (often older) peers have been taught the hardest way.
I've seen it with drinking, vaping, smoking, meth, bad partner, gambling; my friends that weren't hooked, could take it or leave it, and then one day they find they are hooked.
Take care.
