SMOKING OR VAPING?

Vaping has been growing in popularity since 2009 within the uk, we’ve seen It progress from small thin pens that mimic the look of cigarettes to large devices powered by multiple batteries. Now, you could be forgiven for wanting advice on what exactly is vaping? Or even how to vape?

As we all know vaping has become the favourite, preferred and most highly recommended tool for quitting smoking by the NHS. PHE (Public Health England) have recently completed studies that even recommend vaping areas within hospitals (see the report here).

The main reason for this is not driven by investment from the “vaping industry” but rather the opposite. Many health organisations (the FDA, AIHW) have expressed reservations or even extreme doubt over the safety of vaping, but whenever this occurs there also appears to be a close connection to and interest from pro-tobacco lobbyists. The NHS are in full support of electronic cigarettes as they receive no funding from the tobacco industry, well none to speak of that will cause them to drive more people towards smoking. Quite a dark subject,



CIGARETTES VS E-CIGARETTES

A recent study at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland found that the cancer danger of vaping is almost as low as for nicotine replacement therapies such as patches and gum — less than one percent. “This study should put to rest any doubt within the tobacco control movement about whether vaping greatly reduces health risk compared to smoking,” wrote Boston University’s Dr. Michael Siegel.

There has been no research to date showing any provable cardiovascular danger from vaping.

There is no evidence that vaping causes or worsens asthma. But even better, a study by Dr. Riccardo Polosa found that vape mods uk shows signs of harm reversal in asthma sufferers — even if they just reduce their smoking.

With the absence of Tar and of Carbon Monoxide we can draw a safe conclusion that vaping carries vastly fewer health risks than traditional tobacco combustion.


THE ADVANTAGES OF VAPING

Now that we have the health facts out of the way, let’s talk about the main differences from the perspective of the experience of using an electronic cigarette vs smoking.

Improved flavour

Firstly there’s the improved flavour and lack of nasty smell. At first, most vape mods uk won't think that there is much smell difference and that they are just tolerating the flavours as a means to an end. That the taste doesn’t matter. If smoking tasted so bad for years why should a few months of another taster change anything? After a few weeks this, however, tends to change.
