But I've ended up smoking more of the e-cigarettes than I smoked actual cigarettes, I don't know if they have less nicotine or if I just like them more; they also don't leave me with that bad taste in my mouth, they feel 'cleaner' and yes, I do it for anxiety (aside from the addiction). Nicotine has always helped with anxiety. I told my pdoc and she understood completely. No doubt she has lots of patients who either smoke cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or vape and it helps with their anxiety.
My pdoc told me: A little nicotine often helps anxiety, calming the brain. A lot of nicotine is apt to cause seizure activity in the brain.

I believe I had smoked to begin with, due to anxiety.
