Tobacco Vapes and Transitioning Away From Combustible Cigarettes
Make no mistake about it: deciding to quit smoking combustible cigarettes is a BIG decision! While it’s a pretty easy choice to make at the surface level, following through with …
For years, public health experts have discussed and warned of the dangers associated with traditional, combustible cigarettes. They have links to deadly diseases, like cancer, heart disease, stroke, and more, they can destroy a user’s teeth and gums, and they can even cause life-threatening conditions in loved ones who do not smoke through secondhand smoke. Additionally, they’re expensive and (thankfully) now hold negative social stigmas.
So, you know you should stop smoking – but how? The answer is simpler than you might think. Vaping!
In 2021, a medical review found that people who switch to e-cigarettes and seek expert face-to-face support are twice as likely to succeed in smoking cessation as those who use other nicotine replacement products, like patches or gum.
E-Cigarettes are a device that allows users to inhale nicotine in a vapor form, rather than smoking a combustible cigarette that contains other chemicals and toxins. They operate using e-liquid, which is a combination of nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavoring. One reason they’re so effective in smoking cessation is because users can adjust the nicotine levels of e-liquid as needed and only smoke when they feel the urge.
Vaping is far more affordable than traditional cigarettes, meaning that switching is not only good for your health, it’s good for your wallet! Vape devices and e-liquid are also highly regulated for safety and quality, so users can be sure the products they’re using are safe and free from harmful additives.
