Vaping is a good way to quit smoking as it is the healthier alternative to cigarettes. It’s the best way to get your nicotine kick without all the harmful toxins that come from the burning of tobacco. You get to remain social, spend less, and once you have quit smoking you will feel so much better! Although Vaping is a lot healthier than smoking cigarettes there is not enough long-term research to suggest that it is completely harmless.

Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but there has not been enough research on vaping to determine any long-term side effects. Putting any sort of smoke, vapour, or substance into your lungs is not ideal, but vaping has been proven to have way less harm than a conventional cigarette. E-liquid, the substance which is vaporized by an e-cigarette, only contains 3-4 ingredients, vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, food-grade flavouring, and nicotine (most brands have 0 nicotine options). Cigarettes, on the other hand, contain over 7000 chemicals, most of which are toxic. Just to name a few of the harmful chemicals in cigarettes, tar, formaldehyde, ammonia and so much more, these chemicals not only affect you but the people around you.

E-cigarettes commonly use lithium-ion batteries, the same as your laptop, cell phone, or most other electronic devices with rechargeable batteries. None of these devices pose any risk of exploding as long as they are used safely and as intended. Yes, manufacturing defects or user errors may occur, but the majority of reported cases were due to improper usage or poor maintenance. It is also recommended that you never use damaged batteries, you should always use approved or recommended chargers, store your batteries correctly and safely, replace them regularly and never overcharge them.

There are only 4 chemicals used when making e-liquids.  Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerine (VG), Nicotine (which is optional) or CBD (also optional), and Flavouring. Interestingly enough, all of these ingredients (except for nicotine) can be found in products we use on a daily basis like food, drinks, cosmetics, and medication. Still, we strongly advise that you do not drink e-liquid, but it is absolutely safe for vaping.
