Is It Normal for Vape Cravings to Get Worse at Night?
Yes. Vape cravings often feel worse at night because routines slow down and distractions reduce. This allows habit-based urges to surface more clearly, even though nicotine withdrawal has passed.
Understanding why night-time feels harder helps you prepare for evening routines. For a complete overview, see our guide on how to quit vaping.
