Does vaping cause weight gain?

I recently switched to vaping thinking it might be a healthier alternative, but I've noticed I'm gaining weight. Is there a connection? Does vaping cause weight gain, or am I just imagining things?

Generally, vaping doesn't cause weight gain directly. Sometimes people eat a bit more when they try to quit, which is very natural. Don't worry, just focus on keeping yourself healthy.

In my years on this forum, I've seen that weight changes are usually linked to how nicotine affects your metabolism or appetite. Vaping itself won't make you put on weight, but changes in your vaping habits might make you snack more. Keep some healthy fruits nearby if you get cravings.

Actually, nicotine is a stimulant so it usually suppresses appetite slightly, meaning vaping won't directly cause weight gain. However, relying on vaping is terrible for your lung capacity and cardiovascular endurance. Focus on clean eating and cardio to manage your weight naturally.

I was researching this too because a friend of mine started gaining weight after she picked up vaping. But it seems like her sweet vape flavors were just making her crave actual desserts more! Has anyone else experienced their sweet tooth getting worse after vaping?

I freaked out when I put on 3 kgs after starting to vape, thinking the e-liquid had calories or something! But when I spoke to my doctor, he explained it was just my stress levels and lack of physical activity. Once I started walking daily, my weight came back to normal.
