More and more cigarette smokers are turning to vaping as a way to quit smoking, and there are so many reasons why vaping makes so much sense.

Not only is using e-cigarettes a healthier choice than regular cigarettes and tobacco products, it's cheaper, comes in a range of flavours, and has a range of benefits socially, medically, and mentally.

Here are 7 reasons why people vape:

1. SAVE MONEY

The cost of cigarettes and tobacco products is progressively becoming more expensive, which makes having a smoking habit very costly.

For those looking for a cheaper alternative, e-cigarettes are a worthy candidate.

While there may be a higher upfront cost associated with buying an e-cigarette device, quality vape starter kits can last years if you treat your vaping device right.

Additionally, there is a wide range of vaping equipment available ranging from affordable to exclusive, depending on your budget.

Overall, compared to traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes work out far cheaper per equivalent nicotine level, even for heavy vapers that previously smoked other tobacco products in large quantities.

2. A HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE TO SMOKING

 

It is a well-known fact that vaping poses less of a health risk than cigarette smoking, and as such, it will come as no surprise that most vapers are ex-smokers that vape as a smoking cessation tool.

After all, nicotine addiction - and the rise of public health issues as a result of people smoking addictive tobacco products - is the foundation that the vaping industry was built upon. 

Of course, we're not saying that vaping is 'healthy', but e-cigarette use is much less harmful than cigarette smoking. 

One benefit of e-cigarettes is that the e-liquids come in varying nicotine concentrations, giving vapers the flexibility to manage their cravings while quitting smoking.

Some countries have seen a decrease in the cigarette smoking population since the introduction of e-cigarettes, as vapes make it easier to quit smoking.

Those who used to smoke nicotine cigarettes now use e-cigarettes to curb withdrawal symptoms and help wean themselves off their nicotine addiction, resulting in e-cigarette sales soaring as other tobacco products are no longer needed when they start vaping.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease (such as heart disease), disability, and death in the United States.

Every day in the USA, 1,600 young people (i.e. high school students) try cigarettes for the first time, often as a result of seeing a family member or friend using cigarettes, which can be very damaging to their developing brains.

Many teens have gone on to form a nicotine addiction and use other forms of tobacco products as a result of this harmful habit.

Thankfully, the attitude of high school students and young people toward cigarettes is changing, and World Health Organization data shows a downward trend of adult smokers worldwide, totalling over 1 billion in 2019.

3. STRESS RELIEF 

Modern-day life can be taxing, and people are always looking for new ways to relieve stress.

From yoga or meditation to reading, we all have an outlet we can turn to after a tough day.

For some, vaping is the answer.

The nicotine contained in e-liquids can induce a sense of relaxation and help reduce anxiety.

However, unlike other tobacco products, not all e-liquids contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and has a huge negative impact on public health.

Many brands offer e-liquid flavours that do not contain nicotine for those that vape for enjoyment.

The simple process of deep inhalation and exhalation associated with using e-cigarettes can help reduce stress, leaving the vaper feeling calm and relaxed.

4. MEDICAL

Marijuana vaporisers are used to manage medical conditions and chronic pain.

Users report that e-cigarettes offer a much smoother taste compared to smoking, delivering a more enjoyable experience.

E-cigarettes can be used as an adjunct treatment for a range of conditions including everything from migraines to Parkinson’s or chemotherapy recovery.

5. SOCIAL VAPING 

 As the vaping industry grows, the choices of hardware and e-liquid flavours continue to evolve, and so does the overall vaping experience.

There are now worldwide conventions and events showcasing the latest vaping innovations, new vaping devices, and electronic cigarette technologies.

Vapers can feel a part of this rapidly expanding community while mingling with like-minded people and making new friends.

This close-knit community has built a strong online presence, pioneered by e-cigarette enthusiasts and advocates from the world over.

Created for beginners and professionals alike, these forums thrive on friendly discussions, news, reviews, and all the latest in the world of e-cigarettes.

You can now find vape shops and bars in many countries, with vapers gathering to share experiences and flaunt their latest collections.

Some e-cigarette brands have even launched branded merchandise, which furthers the sense of belonging for loyal vapers.

6. RANGE OF FLAVOURS

 

 

One major draw for new vapers is the massive range of disposable vapes and flavour options available on the market.

From classic menthol to cookies and cream, and everything in between, there are flavoured e-cigarettes to satisfy every taste bud.

With new tantalising flavours continually being created, flavoured e-cigarettes are far more exciting and varied compared to cigarette smoke.

These delicious flavours, however, can make e-cigarettes seem tempting for young people, so it is important for family members to ensure high school students and underage persons do not get their hands on nicotine vape pens as it can be harmful to their health.

7. A NEW HOBBY

 

“Cloud chasing” is now recognised by the e-cigarette community as a competitive hobby that is growing in popularity in the U.S.

As the name suggests, cloud chasers enjoy the pursuit of creating big clouds, and always chasing the largest, most impressive vapour clouds.

Vapers use powerful equipment with low-resistance coils and specially designed e-liquid bases.

It is an exciting way to use e-cigarettes, and a challenge for the competitive.

It has grown in online presence, with social media accounts and competitions dedicated to the art of creating clouds with e-cigarettes.

With ‘professional vapers’ judging on everything from technique to skill, competitions such as the International Cloud Chasing Championships and the World Series of Vape are hugely popular and an important part of the vaping community.

WHY PEOPLE USE E-CIGARETTES

There are a number of reasons why people use e-cigarettes.

Regardless of the reason, we can confidently say that e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative to tobacco smoking.

The benefits of e-cigarette use over tobacco product use include cost savings, the ability to wean off nicotine, and better health outcomes.

E-cigarettes can also be a great way to relieve stress and explore a range of tantalising flavours.
