You can use an electronic cigarette as a tobacco cessation device without any frustration. It will enable you to keep the same gesture and nicotine content as when you were smoking. Many vapers have now completely stopped smoking thanks to the e-cig.

The first thing to know is that you don’t need to stop smoking before you start vaping. The first month for instance, you can try vaping while you’re still smoking. But if you can, stop smoking as soon as possible. Products that are included in tobacco cigarettes will irritate your throat a couple of weeks after you’ve stopped smoking. This means that you will cough even though you’ve switched to vaping. But once your throat has healed, the coughing fits will disappear.

The first step is the choice of the model and most particularly the flavor. You’ll need to find the e-liquid that will suit you best. Everyone’s different so you’ll most probably need to try several juices before finding the one that’s right for you. The main goals for you will be to recreate the « throat hit », this tingling feeling in the throat, and to avoid nicotine withdrawal symptoms. I’m sure you’ll want to avoid feeling anxious, impatient or depressed, so you should definitely spend some time making sure you’re comfortable with your e-liquid. Generally speaking, it’s better to start with a tobacco or menthol flavor because it’s closer to tobacco cigarettes.

If you’re not satisfied, you can try a higher nicotine content or a different flavor. This can totally change your perception of vaping.

You should also favor atomizers with indirect inhaling, because the feelings will be similar to smoking.

What impact on your health?

After a few days, you’ll be able to feel the benefits. You’ll recover your sense of smell and your taste will also come back.

After one month, vaping generally replaces tobacco products. From that point onwards, you can lower the nicotine content but don’t hurry too much. The goal is to stay away from smoking and to avoid frustrations.

And most particularly, plan some back-up material, such as e-liquids bottles and batteries. If your equipment breaks down, you’ll most certainly buy a cigarette pack. And it’s always better if you have two e-cigarettes, just in case something goes wrong.

Vaping means inhaling vapor coming from an electronic cigarette. Smoking means inhaling smoke coming from a burnt tobacco-substance.

Let’s start by simple definitions of both vaping and smoking.

Vaping means inhaling vapor coming from an electronic cigarette. Smoking means inhaling smoke coming from a burnt tobacco-substance.

When compared with smoking, vaping will simply vaporize an e-liquid. These e-liquids are generally made of food components, such as vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol or aromas, which are not harmful for your health. Nicotine, which can be included in the composition of e-liquids, in an addictive product but with an e-cigarette, you’ll be able to choose the nicotine content based on your needs to avoid withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

We actually have on the one side a combustion taking place and on the other side the production of an aerosol generally called vapor. The e-cigarette vapor is made of gas particles that were created after the vaporization of the liquid. For e-liquids with a high propylene glycol content, 95% of these particles disappear in the air in the following minute. There are no carcinogenic components, carbon monoxiyde or solid particles in vapor, contrary to cigarette smoke.

Tobacco products also contain numerous addictive products. Once they are burnt, these products are toxic. Tobacco use led to 100 million deaths in the world. Carcinogenic components lead to tobacco-based cancers. Carbon monoxide and fine particles will increase cardio-vascular risks. And the solid particles of cigarette smoke tend to enter the body, lungs and bronchial tubes, even if you’re not smoking. On the contrary, risks linked to passive vaping are 100 times less important. Electronic cigarettes would thus enable to reduce the risks of major diseases.

Other differences

If you start vaping, you’ll be able to get rid of the cold tobacco smell, the coughing fits, the lack of sense of smell or taste. There is no burning, no tar, no nasty smell, only lightly flavored vapor. And you’ll keep the same gesture. The nicotine content will make tobacco use cessation easier. Vapers will be able to recover in a few weeks (and sometimes even in a few days) their breath, their appetite, their taste. Their complexion will become less grey and chronic respiratory infections will decrease.
