Vaping can make you feel like you can't breathe due to irritation of the airways from the chemicals in e-liquids. This can lead to bronchoconstriction, where the muscles around your airways tighten. Ingredients like propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin may also cause allergic reactions or sensitivity. If you experience breathing difficulties, it's crucial to stop vaping and consult a healthcare professional promptly.
