5 Facts About Vaping

Vaping or e-cigarettes are growing rapidly in the UK. People are quitting traditional smoking and starting to vape. The process of inhaling vapours from an electronic device or e-cigarette is known as vaping. We will discuss some important facts about vaping that every vaper should be aware of.

The presence of nicotine in e-liquids:

Most e-liquids or e-cigarettes contain nicotine. It is noted that most of the disposable vapes have at least 10mg or 20mg of nicotine, which is 1% or 2%. The e-liquid used in these disposable devices contains nicotine salts.

In 10ml or smaller e-liquid bottles, the nicotine content will be 3mg, 12mg and 18mg. In large e-liquid bottles such as 50ml or 100ml, there will be no nicotine due to the TPD restrictions imposed a few years ago. Users can add nicotine shot to these to get the nicotine strength they need.

Vaping products contain other harmful chemicals:

According to studies, vaping products can contain hazardous compounds that may be of concern to the user. Formaldehyde is one of the harmful compounds that stands out; this chemical can be found in detergents and body wash. We are naturally exposed to small amounts of formaldehyde in the air, but if ingested in larger doses, it could be a problem for the user.

Vaping is highly addictive:

Vaping is often promoted as a way to quit smoking and break the addiction. However, this is not the case, as vaping still contains nicotine, the addictive substance used in conventional cigarettes, it is still addictive. Vaping is 95% safer than smoking traditional tobacco products.

Young adults are more likely to vape:

The use of traditional cigarettes by young adults is gradually declining and being replaced by vaping.

E-cigarettes Are Not Safe Just Because They Are Water Vapour:

The misconception widespread around about vaping is that it is harmless because it produces water vapour than smoke. This is incorrect. Although, water vapour is not harmful but the chemical used in the e-liquids would be dangerous to the user’s health.

Benefit of Vaping:

Some of the primary advantages of vaping include:

Vaping does not create the toxic chemicals present in cigarettes.

When you smoke a regular cigarette, harmful substances such as tar and carbon monoxide are produced. Over time, these drugs can have a major negative impact on the user's physical health. Because e-cigarettes do not emit these harmful substances, they offer a safer alternative to cigarettes.

Vaping Is Less Expensive Than Smoking:

Vaping is cheaper than smoking. Currently, a pack of cigarettes costs between £10 and £15 and a pack of 20 cigarettes will last two-thirds of a day for a smoker. E-cigarettes, on the other hand, are much cheaper.

A disposable vape costs about £5 on average, and one of them will last the user about 2/3 days. A refillable vaping device can range in price from £15 to £50. These gadgets have a lengthy lifespan.  E-liquids typically cost between £3 and £15 depending on the type of e-liquid and the vaporization method used.

Vaping Is Safer For Those Around You:

Because vaping does not emit the hazardous chemicals that smoking cigarettes does, it is far safer for others around you than smoking traditional cigarettes.

Vaping Can Assist You in Quitting Smoking:

E-cigarettes are marketed as a smoking halting tool, but more specifically they are considered a safer alternative to smoking.
