You're quitting smoking for vaping?
Saying goodbye to your cigarettes isn't easy. Indeed, you're leaving years of habit behind to discover completely new ones. Gone are the packets, the lighters, the unpleasant smells and the toxic products responsible for so many serious diseases. You already know that quitting smoking and getting rid of this addiction is not an easy decision to make, but how about doing it in a pleasant way?
This is what electronic cigarettes have to offer, thanks to their revolutionary operation. You won't be smoking anymore, you'll be vapourising a liquid, and this changes everything! You must have heard about this new tool and how it helps thousands of smokers quit or at least reduce their tobacco consumption. This useful and straightforward device allows you to stop smoking whilst keeping up your smoking habits. More than 7.5 million Europeans have already adopted it as a smoking withdrawal tool, so why not you?
Books, hypnosis, gums, acupuncture, Champix, patches or alternative medicine, many ways of fighting tobacco addiction have appeared over the years, with more or less convincing results. However, the electronic cigarette shows to be 36% effective among former smokers, which is far more than any traditional nicotine substitute.
Therefore, it’s becoming an increasingly important tool in the fight against tobacco. It helps smokers quit their habit, or at least reduce their consumption, and by extension, lowers the risk of them developing serious diseases.
In addition to this, the price of tobacco is ever-increasing, in France at least. Smoking is expensive and this trend isn’t likely to change. By 2020, a packet of cigarettes will reach the symbolic threshold of 10 euros. So, it seems like the perfect time to free yourself from tobacco’s grip, and save a considerable sum in the process. Indeed, a former smoker spends about 5 times less on vaping than he used to do on tobacco, which is definitely food for thought.
Quitting smoking with a vaping device offers many more benefits than just saving you money:
-
Electronic cigarettes are less dangerous than tobacco because there’s no combustion, so no carbon monoxide, no tar, and none of the 4000 toxic substances found in cigarettes, of which 50 at least are proven to be carcinogenic. -
You stop smoking whilst retaining your smoking gestures. -
You can carry on giving your body the nicotine it needs and regulate it at the same time. -
No passive smoking when using e-cigarettes, you look after your health and of those around you, and that’s priceless!
Why smoke when you can vape?
This question is not as recent as it may seem, as a quick look at the past shows us that the electronic cigarette as we know it is the result of a long series of patents and innovations.
Indeed, patents have been filed for various mechanical vaping devices for nearly a hundred years. It was in 1963, though, that Herbert A. Gilbert invented the first electronic device designed to replace the classic tobacco cigarette. Unfortunately, the concept didn't go any further and no prototype was produced.
Forty years later, a Chinese pharmacist named Hon Lik invented the first personal vapouriser to help his father who was battling with lung cancer. The concept proved popular and began being marketed in 2009. And this is how the e-cigarette as we know it today began its tremendous adventure.
This small device uses a battery and a metal coil to vapourise an e-liquid, and it is truly revolutionary. It offers smokers an effective alternative to the scourge that is tobacco, responsible for millions of deaths across the globe every year.
