A friend of mine who is a doctor recommended vaping to me, as he’s aware of my struggles to quit smoking. Is it effective?
Vaping is a way to quit cigarettes by getting nicotine with fewer of the toxins that come from burning tobacco. You get to stay social, spend less, and once you’ve quit smoking you’ll feel better for it. Although vaping’s much less harmful than smoking, it’s not harmless. So you should plan to eventually quit vaping too, but only when you know you won’t go back to smoking.
It can, and has helped millions of people around the world to throw away their cigarettes. The important thing is to go to a regulated vape shop where you know that you’re getting the best and safest devices and eliquid. The staff should be knowledgeable about vaping and be able to give you advice on how to make the switch easily and on how to maintain and use your equipment. They will also be able to point out some of the current international research indicating that vaping is much, much less harmful than continuing to smoke.
