Why Vaping Is The Better Alternative to Smoking?
Vaping has become extremely popular in the past few years and it looks like it is only going to increase in the coming years. It is not only popular among smokers who are looking to quit the habit but also among non-smokers. If you have been thinking of vaping, it is essential to understand it better.
What is Vaping?
Vaping is consuming ‘vapor’ aka aerosol which is made available by a device like an e-cigarette or other similar devices. The device is termed an e-cigarette as it does not produce smoke from tobacco but vapor. The growth of vaping increased due to the popularity of e-cigarettes which was introduced in the year 2007. Apart from e-cigs, vape pens and MODS are also popular devices for vaping. While the E-cigs resembles the usual cigarettes, the vape pens look like fountain pens.
A vaping device has a battery, a mouthpiece, a cartridge where the e-liquid is filled, and a heating component that produces the vapor. This heating component is run by the battery. When the device is switched on, the battery heats the heating component which in turn converts the liquid into a vapor.
This vapor is what the vaper use to get similar effects as that of smoking a cigarette. According to the experts at RedVape.com, e-liquids can be chosen to resemble the flavors of your regular cigarette. These contain propylene glycol or liquid from vegetable glycerin with nicotine, flavors and few other chemicals. Instead of nicotine, there are many devices that use vape THC which has marijuana effects.
What are the Benefits of Vaping?
Vaping is believed to have bypassed the side effects of smoking and has become a healthier and more beneficial alternative. Some of the benefits of vaping are:
Affordable: The cost of cigarettes depends on the country you live in but most of the countries tax tobacco products very heavily. But when you switch to vaping, there is a product in every price range whatever the budget may be. Over the past few years vaping has become extremely popular and there are many products from disposable to sophisticated ones. Once the initial investment for the device is made, only the e-liquid needs to be purchased which once brought lasts for many months.
It is better for health than smoking: A prestigious organization called the Royal College of Physicians which has more than 35,000 doctors from all over the world, has suggested that vaping is 95% safer than smoking. They have conducted extensive research on it and come up with this stat. Since vaping does not involve combustion, and there is no ash or tar associated it is found that switching to vaping is better. When a user switches to vaping they also get the benefits of enjoying a smoke-free experience. That helps in better skin health, lung health, oral hygiene and boosts the sense of taste and smell which was reduced due to smoking cigarettes.
Controls over intake of nicotine: Nicotine intake can be controlled by the vaper as the e-juice comes in varying strengths of nicotine. There are many juices that are nicotine-free to some which have high content. If a smoker is trying to quit smoking, they can start with high nicotine juices and gradually reduce to lower levels before completely quitting.
Variety of flavors: There is an endless choice of flavors when it comes to e-juices. So you can switch to any flavor if you are bored with the ones you’ve been already using. Moreover, you can mix the flavors to find combination flavors of your choice so there is no limit to the choices. Some of the popular e-liquid flavors are those that have beverages, fruits, desserts, tobacco, foods, and menthol.
Convenience: As there is no health impact on passive smokers, vaping is more socially acceptable in many public places than smoking. When you don’t have to go outside the office or in a public place for smoking it makes for a huge advantage. Also, the vaping devices are designed in such a way that you can take one or two puffs taking in the desired nicotine amount rather than having to burn the whole cigarette.
No bad odor: Traditional tobacco smokers have a distinct bad odor that is present even when they are not smoking which is quite repelling. The same is not true with vaping. There is no smell that lingers forever and the e-juices last as long as the vaping is being done.
