What Happens when You Switch to Vaping?

More and more people around the world are turning to vape, leaving behind cigarettes in the hope of quitting smoking forever. E-cigarettes have become one of the most common alternatives to smoking for a variety of reasons.

On the one hand, they offer a similar experience to smoking and are great for those who stick to the habit. It also provides a less harmful way to get nicotine to fight nicotine cravings.

Of course, there are other alternatives, such as traditional NRT (nicotine replacement therapy), which include nicotine gum, patches, etc., however, these often do not meet the needs of those who develop the habit of smoking. But there are still some people who are less aware of the benefits of switching to e-cigarettes, and misinformation is one reason. Let's break down the benefits of e-cigarettes, potential side effects, and how to switch.

Many people point out that quitting smoking is not only good for your health, but it can also boost your mental health and well-being. Another thing worth noting is that you will also notice how much you save after quitting smoking. Especially now, when every pound counts, smoking is a very expensive bad habit. Even switching to e-cigarettes, the savings are staggering.

E-cigarettes are often touted as a great smoking cessation tool and for good reason. As mentioned, it provides smokers with a way to get a nicotine hit to fight cigarette cravings and provide a similar experience to smoking. However, one of the most significant benefits is injury reduction.

E-cigarettes are widely believed to pose some harm, mostly to those who have never smoked but are 95% less harmful than smoking. Unfortunately, there are still some people who mistakenly believe that e-cigarettes are as harmful as smoking or even more harmful, mainly due to the misinformation that the media often spreads.

Advice from Public Health England in the UK has consistently supported smokers switching to e-cigarettes as a means of quitting, with 50,000 smokers using e-cigarettes each year to help quit. A recent study by Public Health England noted that e-cigarettes outperformed traditional NRT in helping to quit smoking.

Some of the benefits of e-cigarettes include helping you reduce your expenses. Smoking is a very expensive problem, especially as the price of cigarettes has risen over time. Today, smoking costs around £400 a month (nearly £5,000 a year) and that's just based on average figures.

Heavy smokers may see more money leave their pockets each month. On the other hand, minus the initial cost of vaping equipment, e-cigarettes are about 4 times cheaper, and heavy smokers may spend £80-90 per month. And depending on your e-cigarette, the cost may be lower!

First, e-cigarettes offer smokers a less harmful method of ingesting nicotine. Combined with a pleasing taste, it helps make switching to e-cigarettes easier and makes cigarettes less attractive. E-cigarettes can also lower your nicotine intake by using lower-strength e-liquids, or, if you use short fillers, adding your own nicotine to better control your nicotine levels. With this, you can finally even quit vaping when you're ready.

This is common when first switching to some very common side effects, which are usually mild and easily corrected.

Some people may cough for the first time. This is common because vaping doesn't feel the same as smoking; the vapor itself doesn't feel like inhaling it. It's also possible that you need to change the way you vape (you may be inhaling too hard), or your nicotine strength/type. If you're still coughing after a few days, try inhaling the e-cigarette slowly and for a long time, or switch to Nic salts, which are gentler on the throat.

It's also possible that you've drawn too much. As a smoker, especially a heavy smoker, you may be more inclined to vape than you think because the effects of nicotine can take longer to be felt. This may make you feel dizzy, slightly nauseated, or have a mild headache. If this happens, stop vaping and wait for it to pass, if this happens frequently then you may be using too much nicotine. Lower your strength and seek advice from your GP or healthcare professional if it continues to occur.

Preparation, motivation, and practice are key. Make sure you've planned the e-cigarette you're going to use and purchased everything you need. If you purchased a tank kit that requires maintenance, then you will need a spare coil, battery, and cleaning kit. Disposable e-cigarettes are a great way for those trying to use e-cigarettes without investing too much. These devices are easy to use and maintenance-free, just take them out of the packaging and blow them away.

Whenever you feel a craving hit, remind yourself why you quit smoking and make sure you have your e-cigarette with you. It may take some getting used to it, but making sure you have your vaping ready at all times will help you fight cravings. If you find that the vape doesn't satisfy your craving, then you may need to increase your power.

In general, heavy smokers will benefit the most from 18-20 mg strength e-liquids, especially nicotine salts. This type of E-Liquid helps smokers because it smoothes your throat and delivers nicotine more efficiently, even at high concentrations.

Not everyone can start vaping and quit smoking completely. If you start with dual use (using e-cigarettes and cigarettes) then you are at least starting your quit-smoking journey. By reducing the number of cigarettes you use while vaping, you will one day notice that you are no longer reaching for a cigarette, but instead pumping out your vape. It's not a game, make sure to do what works for you because that's the only way you'll be able to keep going. If you want to buy electronic cigarettes, please contact us.
