effective means to quit smoking by, when compared to the other nicotine replacement treatments
available such as patches or chewing gum. Unlike the alternatives that had gone before, vaping goes
further to satisfy all of the behavioural aspects that go along with smoking as well which make
quitting harder, such as getting a sensation in the lungs and throat, as well as occupying the hands.
Huge Variety of Flavours
The outlets where cigarettes are most commonly bought, Supermarkets and corner shops usually
only sell cigarettes in tobacco and menthol flavours. While it’s possible to get vaping liquid in these
two flavours, there’s also a whole additional world of other flavours to explore that can better match
the users taste palette. Amongst the most popular are almost any kind of sweet and fruit flavours,
whilst on the more niche side it is possible to get vape juices in the flavours of your favourite coffee
or food. This element of choice is especially useful when starting out trying to quit and you happen
not to like a flavour as there’s always plenty more to choose from, seasoned vapers as well have also
been known to get bored of certain flavours after time so there’s always a way to keep things
interesting.
Less Harmful to Others
Smoking is not only very dangerous to the smoker, but also those in close proximity to them from the
second-hand smoke they often involuntarily breathe in which still contains all of the harmful
chemicals and toxins. The scientific term for this is called ‘Passive Smoking’ and it is often not fully
appreciated that larger amounts of the harmful smoke from smoking is invisible to the human eye,
this is why passive smokers are often found to suffer from coronary disease and or various cancers.
Whereas vapour clouds produced from vaping have been proven not to negatively impact the health
of anyone passively inhaling it, in fact studies have found vapers have above average levels of vitamin
E (a natural antioxidant for protecting cells) in their bodies, which is essential for normal bone and
muscle function. Considering the majority of passive smokers are often those you love and most
treasure being around, this is arguably one of the most important benefits of vaping over smoking
here.
Better for The Environment
Protecting the plant is a very hot topic at the moment, and we already know for a fact that the
smoke produced from burning things is very bad for the atmosphere. Cigarette smoke is no exception
from this and when you consider how many people smoke globally you can really appreciate the true
scale of the damage being done, not to mention as well a high proportion of large fires are caused by
dropped cigarette butts. Any kind of smoke will always contribute to air pollution which is harmful to
not only humans but all living beings, and greenhouse gas effects that cause global warming. In
contrast the steam cloud produced from vaping doesn’t cause any of these issues, so you can vape in
confidence that you’re not damaging the planet.
Easier to Use
Whilst smoking is normally forbidden in most public places, the laws around vaping are often a bit
more relaxed however local laws can still vary a lot in different regions of the world so it is always
worth being clued up on what exactly they are to avoid any awkward moments. Moreover a niche
trend is emerging which started out in London with specialised bars and cafes focused on being a
place where you can vape freely, there’s more and more of these opening all the time so it’s worth
checking where your nearest one is as it could be closer than you think.
Less Costly
Normally things that are better for your health and the environment often end up costing more, yet
vaping is a rare exception to this as it is cheaper than smoking by a long way. Even the most
expensive component the vape pen itself can now picked up for around the same price as a 20 pack
of cigarettes and the liquids are a lot less expensive than anything tobacco containing due to tax
classifications. For instance the average chain smoker who goes through one pack of cigarettes a day
would spend almost £4,000 on them in a year, whereas an e-cigarette user would expect to spend
around £500 for the same amount of nicotine which represents a huge saving.
No Leftover Mess Like Cigarettes
Something else every single vaper can enjoy is that as there’s no smoke, you also don’t get any of
that nasty ash or other remnants that can stain your clothes visibly and worse burn holes in them in
cases. Furthermore you also don’t have to stress about any bad odour surrounding you or being on
your breathe that can make life awkward, especially if you choose a fresh fruity flavour vape that can
give you a more than present aroma.
In Conclusion
Smoking is a tough habit to break free from despite all the obvious drawbacks to yourself and others,
however vaping has come to the rescue and dramatically changed more people’s lives in a way no
other nicotine replacement treatment has done before by replicating all of the physical and habitual
sensations whilst removing the harm. Vaping has already been recognised as more beneficial for
individuals and wider society by the scientific community, so it’s now time for you to do the same
fully confident that there are no negative side effects to worry about. Go have fun with vaping,
knowing there’s no shortage of good reasons why it’s the most popular smoking alternative.
