In the UK vaping or E-cigarette is increasing rapidly. People are quitting traditional smoking and have started vaping. The process of inhaling vapours produced by an electronic device or e-cigarette is known as vaping. We will discuss some important facts about vaping that every vapor should be aware of.

Nicotine presence in E-liquids:

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

In 10ml or lower e-liquid bottles the level of nicotine will be 3mg, 12mg and 18mg. In large e liquid bottles like 50ml or100ml there will be no nicotine because of the TPD restrictions imposed few years ago. The user can add nicotine shot into these to get the required nicotine strength.

Vapes Contain Other Harmful Chemicals:

According to studies, vaping products can include dangerous compounds, which might be a source of concern for the user. Formaldehyde is one of the harmful compounds that sticks out; this chemical may be found in laundry detergents and body wash products. We are naturally exposed to small levels of Formaldehyde in the air; but, when eaten in larger doses, this might present a problem for the user.

Vaping Is Highly Addictive:

Every so often, to stop smoking and breaking the addiction vaping is promoted as a mean. However, this is not the case, because vaping still contains nicotine, which is the addictive item used in the conventional cigarettes, it is still addicting. Vaping is 95% safer than smoking traditional tobacco products.

Young Adults Are More Likely To Vape:

The usage of conventional cigarettes by young adults is progressively dropping, and this is 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.
