162: Vaping Explained: Why It Hooks You, It’s Effect on Your Brain, and How to Quit


Listen Later

Vaping is everywhere — and it can feel like it’s the cool thing to do. But what’s actually happening in your brain and body when you vape? In this episode, respiratory therapist and certified tobacco educator Jessica Stewart breaks down why vaping is so addictive, how it affects teen mood, focus, and stress, and what to do if you want to quit but don’t know where to start. No shame. No scare tactics. Just real talk about what’s going on and how to take back control.

The episode also covers practical quitting steps — counseling, nicotine replacement options, mindset work — plus how to talk about it, start conversations early, and support teens who want help.

Jessica, a respiratory therapist, certified tobacco educator, a certified life coach and host of a podcast: The Teen Years Toolkit For Moms
