Vaping: What You Need to Know
It seems as if all the celebrities are getting on board the Hollywood vaping trend, and it is becoming more and more of a fashion statement everywhere you look. If you are currently a tobacco smoker and are looking for ways to change your habit, then vaping may be the alternative you were looking for. However, just because it is now a celebrity fashion statement does not mean that it is the right choice for you. If you are considering vaping for the first time, here are a few of the things you need to know.
Vaping does not include tobacco
It i’s the tobacco in traditional cigarettes and cigars that puts a huge health risk on those who smoke, as the tobacco sticks to your teeth and your lungs. When you vape, you will realize there is no tobacco in the product at all. Instead, you will get a fruity or herbal flavor that is not filled with tobacco. Therefore, you don’t have to stress that much about the health issues caused by traditional cigarettes.
Vaping does include nicotine
Before you buy the best vape box you can find, it is important for you to understand that vaping does include nicotine. So while you may be looking to reduce your overall tobacco consumption with vaping, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will not then become addicted to vaping. This is just something you will want to keep in mind as you decide whether or not vaping is the right choice for you.
Vaping is better than cigarettes
When you smoke cigarettes, you are inhaling a variety of chemicals that are not good for your body, including the tobacco. Of these 7,000 chemicals inside a cigarette, a good portion of them are considered toxic. While vaping still has its own health concerns to consider, it is important for you to understand that if you have the choice between vaping and cigarettes, vaping would be the better option for your health. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that e-cigarettes are not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women or adults who do not currently use tobacco products.
Vaping doesn’t leave a smell
If you smoke, chances are that people around you are going to notice. That is because cigarette and cigar smoke leaves a pungent smell that cannot easily be removed from clothing, car materials and more. However, if you decide to vape, there is no smell that lingers behind. Instead, you can vape in your car, on your walk or wherever else you decide, and there will be no scent that wafts along with you.
Vaping is noticeable
Some people think they should vape because it is not as noticeable as smoking, but that is not true. While folks around you may not notice the smell, they will certainly notice the big pen and the large exhaust of smoke that comes from your mouth. If you think you can sneak your vape in the office or even at school, think again, as someone nearby will certainly notice what you are doing.
Vaping is a science
When you smoke a cigarette, you simply take the cigarette out of its pack, light it and be on your way. With vaping, there are cartridges and other tools associated with the vape pen, so it is important for you to have a good understanding of how it works before you indulge. After all, you don’t want to spend the money on it and then have it break.
In addition, these vaping tools are often much bigger than a pack of traditional cigarettes, so if you are looking for something inconspicuous you can keep inside your clutch, vaping is not the right choice. Instead, you will need to have a handy place where you can keep the pen and the cartridges, which means you may always be wearing stuff with big pockets or bringing an oversized purse along for the ride.
Vaping can be affordable
Vaping tends to be more affordable than traditional tobacco products, and this can be beneficial to those on a tight budget. Plus, one cartridge tends to last traditionally longer than a pack of cigarettes, which can help you stretch your dollar even further.
Vaping is not just to quit smoking
While many vaping companies recommend vaping as a way to quit cigarettes, that is not the only reason people could vape. In fact, some people use vapes to inhale essential oils that could help with fatigue, anxiety and other issues.
Vaping is ultimately your decision, but because it could have an impact on your body, it is a good idea for you to talk with your healthcare provider about vaping before you start.
