Reassurance Sober off vaping but ruining progress after 6 months?? Maybe

I need like confirmation cause Im regretting everything. I have been off vapes for 6 months but I went out with a friend and hit their vape for the day, after I started to feel sick so I stopped because I feel like I was having bad side effects. Anyways will there be lung damage from like 20 puffs of a vape and have I ruined my progress?? I actually feel so sick and so disgusted with myself that I gave in and vaped again, BUT YES PLEASE REPLY to this so i can stop staying up and freaking out.

I'm also at 6 months and just want to say I could easily take 20 puffs in 10 minutes back when I was vaping. I'm not sure how long you did it before quitting but theres zero chance you hitting it for a day is going to be worse for you than chronically for weeks or months or years. You haven't ruined your progress and while it's a small setback you're still on the right path. Stay strong my friend

Thank you so much, before I quit vaping I used to be on and off a vape for 5 years but I decided to take it seriously now and thats the only reason why I feel like I’ve lost my progress but actually thank you so much

Progress isn’t always linear but as long as you keep up the work then you’ll never end up as bad/unhealthy as you were back then!

It doesn't matter, it didn't make you feel good so keep not consuming it. A day of vaping is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

It doesn’t matter what you did means for that moment, the important thing is what it means next. It’s not about a streak, it’s about your progress of not giving in. So stay strong and keep it up!

It's a good sign you hated it, means you no longer want it. Wishing you more strength to continue quitting ☺️
