Welcome to Stoptober 2023! Every year during the month of October, the NHS invites smokers to try and give up cigarettes for a month. You’re more likely to quit for good if you can stop for a month and here at Vape Club, we’re looking to help you find a less harmful, cheaper, and effective alternative to cigarettes.
You don’t need us to tell you the damage that cigarettes can do to you and even the people around you. As it stands, smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the world, with over 8,000,000 dying from smoking-related illnesses every single year. Thankfully, vaping offers an alternative that’s backed by health bodies around the world and has proved successful for millions of smokers, globally.
Good question! There have been plenty of scaremongering news stories that are happy to equate vaping to smoking and even pose it as a more dangerous threat, all for the sake of a few column inches. We’re here to tell you that the science doesn’t match these claims and more health organisations than ever are advocating vaping as a less harmful alternative to smoking. Groups backing vaping include the NHS, the Royal College Of Physicians, and the British Heart Foundation.
So, how is vaping different than smoking? It all comes down to the difference between burning tobacco and vapourising e-liquid. Both cigarettes and vapes feature nicotine – this is the addictive element of cigarettes that causes the sensation known as “craving” and the only way to deal with these cravings would be to smoke another cigarette – that used to be the case anyway!
Vape kits use e-liquid that contains nicotine, and this is important because without it you might ditch your vape and head back to the smokes. The difference lies in the fact that vapes do not contain tobacco and no burning takes place, this means no tar and none of the hundreds of harmful chemicals linked to lung cancer, heart disease, and other life-threatening conditions.
To put it simply, a vape makes sure your cravings stay satisfied, without the need to light tobacco on fire and without the diseases and complications associated with it.
A landmark study by the PHE (Public Health England) in 2015 found that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking and further, annual follow-ups have re-confirmed this statistic. One important thing to bear in mind is that vapes of every variety are only recommended for adult smokers looking to quit or cut down on cigarettes. If you’ve never smoked before or are under the age of eighteen, you shouldn’t be using a vape.
Getting started can be as simple as picking up a disposable vape in your preferred flavour and nicotine strength. But, if you’re looking to find out a bit more about what your options are then we recommend you head on over to our Beginner's Guide to Vaping, and lean more about what vaping is and what the best kind is for you. If you’re already clued up and are looking to get started, check out our full range of vape kits.
It seems like you can’t switch on the TV or read a newspaper without someone telling you how much more expensive everything is. This is definitely the case for cigarettes. With the average twenty-pack costing an eye-watering £14, a cheaper alternative is a welcome one!
So, how much can you exactly save by switching to vaping? If only there was some kind of handy calculator that worked out how much you currently spend on cigarettes compared to a vape, per week, month and year. Can you see where we’re going with this? Take a look at our cost-comparison calculator and find out how much you could really save by making the switch.
