Is Vaping a Good Option to Stop Smoking?

You’ve tried a lot of things in an attempt to quit smoking. Going cold-turkey is not really helpful either. Is there any other way to quit smoking? Yes. Vaping.

But does that really work?

Research suggests the effectiveness of vaping as an alternative to quitting smoking. The awesome finding is, those who vape to quit smoking are more likely to quit for a minimum of 6 months 😱😱.

Cochrane.org (British International organization that organizes medical research findings) reviewed 78 studies on vaping and found that:

“For every 100 people using nicotine e-cigarettes to stop smoking, 9 to 14 might successfully stop, compared with only 6 of 100 people using nicotine-replacement therapy, 7 of 100 using e-cigarettes without nicotine, or 4 of 100 people having no support or behavioural support only.”. 

Vaping offers more than just the satisfaction of nicotine hits. It contains less harmful chemicals and is available in a huge assortment of flavors. 

Vape Juice flavors help reduce and quit smoking

If you want to consider transitioning, stock 2 flavors of e-liquids as a start. Based on one study of over 4000 vapers (91,1% of whom are ex-smokers for over a decade), various flavors of e-liquids are one of the important factors to help them quit smoking. Some of them even switch between 2-3 flavors in a day.

There are dozens of vape juice flavors and with many nicotine levels. The fruity one is the favorite of all levels of vapers. If you want to stick to the taste of the familiar tobacco and icy menthol, they are on the shelves as well 😎💨. You can check out our post about how to choose e-liquid if you want to find out more.

Vaping is a relatively safer method to intake nicotine compared to smoking. It is said to be 95% less harmful than smoking. The chemical substances that have been detected in vaping are mainly nicotine, nitrosamines, Propylene Glycol, and Vegetable Glycerin. There is no carbon monoxide, tar, and other harmful substances which are often found in cigarettes. 

How much does vaping cost?

Vaping can cost you a third as much as smoking 🤩. You can get the satisfaction of nicotine longer with one vape device and e-liquid. A starter kit for vaping can cost around $8.99 to $39.99. You just need to refill it or switch to a new pod (a cartridge prefilled with e-liquid). A pod or 1.8ml vape juice is similar to 2-3 packs of cigarettes. For every pack of replacement pod it consists of two pods. Each pack usually costs around $9.99 up to $19.99. Pocket friendly alternative to quit smoking, no? 🥳✨
