6 Key Advantages of Vapes Over Traditional Cigarettes

Despite increased awareness of the numerous health hazards associated with traditional cigarettes, statistics show that approximately 40 million adults still smoke in the United States.

According to cancer facts and figures from 2014 and the U.S. Surgeon General's report from 2014, tobacco use is responsible for nearly 1 in 5 deaths in the U.S.; this equates to about 480,000 premature deaths each year. Smoking is also linked to almost all known cancers. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the majority of those still smoking are not choosing to ignore these obvious facts due to willpower.

In addition to the health hazards posed to traditional smokers, the smoke from these cigarettes is also extremely harmful to non-smokers when inhaled. Patches have not proven effective for many, and all creative inhalers have failed the most. The next question is; “Is there a better, less harmful option than traditional cigarettes?”

E-cigarettes come to mind easily. While there is still ongoing debate among health experts about whether e-cigarettes are a perfect substitute for traditional cigarettes, there are still some significant benefits to e-cigarettes compared to traditional cigarettes, especially when it comes to the controversial e-cigarettes.

1. E-cigarettes can actually help break the addiction

Nicotine addiction has proven deadly for years, to the extent that the use of nicotine is still considered a crime in some countries like Australia. More and more people have failed to stop their smoking habits, and among those who have succeeded, many relapse.

Nicotine withdrawal symptoms can often be strong, leading to frequent relapses, but e-cigarettes can soften these symptoms. They literally hit the physical addiction to nicotine while allowing the user to wean themselves off nicotine addiction gradually.

Most smokers willing to make such a transition will seek the highest level of nicotine strength in e-cigarettes they can get their hands on. This method is a way to reduce nicotine intake significantly, affecting the body in a manner similar to quitting smoking abruptly. However, gradually tapering down the nicotine strength will help the body adjust until it no longer needs nicotine to function.

This process can also be followed by reducing the strength of your e-liquid, which can help you wean off your nicotine addiction entirely.

2. You have more freedom

E-cigarettes can be vaped anywhere. This may include restaurants, offices, hotels, or public places unlike traditional cigarettes. You won’t have to avoid “non-smoking areas” or be locked into designated smoking spots. E-cigarettes can be vaped anywhere without the worry of being arrested or complained about, as they only produce vapor and are completely smoke-free.

Most people - especially non-smokers - would agree that the smell from traditional cigarettes is always offensive and irritating. However, with these devices being smoke-free, vapers can enjoy their experience without causing any inconvenience to others.

3. E-cigarettes are more discreet

Not all smokers (for various reasons) choose to let the public - including friends and family - know that they actually smoke.

Unlike traditional cigarettes, which leave an offensive odor on a person’s shirt, hair, or breath, e-cigarettes do not leave any lingering scent after vaping.

This allows vapers to be discreet and maintain their image, avoiding the offensive smell of a cigarette that can be reminiscent of an ashtray.

4. E-cigarettes provide a pleasurable experience without the deadly risks

Cigarettes bring pleasure to users... which has proven deadly in most cases. E-cigarettes offer a different kind of pleasure. E-liquids come in various flavors, including cherry, vanilla, strawberry, and more. These diverse flavors provide vapers with a strong and safer sensation while vaping.

All you need is to make the right choice of e-cigarette and select your preferred e-liquid. When inhaling the vapor, it often feels refreshing and tantalizing, leaving behind the taste of fruits and delicious sweets. Unlike traditional cigarettes, this offers a non-irritating flavor.

5. They offer greater variety without costing so much

E-cigarettes come in various styles and colors. You can browse through these e-cig brands on their respective websites before making a purchase. Some e-cig designs look like mobile phones, pens, and pipes, while others resemble regular cigarettes in color, shape, and size.

Moreover, they do not cost as much. The cost of smoking traditional cigarettes for a month is about twice that of vaping. For example, the cost of e-cig starter kits, including cartomizers and batteries, can range from $20 to $40 depending on how much you vape. However, this is nothing compared to the cost of cigarettes, which can amount to $5 - $7 a day these days.

6. E-cigarettes are environmentally friendly

Fire outbreaks are often caused by cigarettes. Most of the time, when a burning cigarette comes into contact with fabric and flammable materials, they always lead to emergencies and claims of life and property (when actions are delayed).

With e-cigarettes, the threat is eliminated as they produce neither smoke nor require fire. E-cigarettes use batteries, thus significantly reducing the level of loss and pollution caused by traditional cigarettes.

While the goal and ideal aim is to stop smoking and excessive and unhealthy nicotine intake, e-cigarettes are clearly a more ideal choice compared to traditional cigars for individuals and society as a whole. In fact, they can also help wean off traditional carcinogenic substances, which is a great additional benefit.

So I think it’s a good suggestion to say; if you don’t smoke, vape!
