Vaping, as an alternative to smoking cigarettes, has been steadily increasing in popularity in recent years. Despite huge public health efforts to help people quit smoking and prevent young people starting, smoking cigarettes remains the single greatest cause of ill health and premature death. And even with the restrictions on tobacco advertising and smoking in public places, many young people continue to take up smoking.
However, the vastly reduced number of chemicals present in e-cigarette vapour compared to tobacco smoke means we can be confident that vaping is much less harmful than smoking. So, below we have listed the top benefits of switching to vaping instead of smoking traditional cigarettes.
Vaping Reduces Exposure to Tobacco
Smoking traditional cigarettes exposes smokers and the people around them to the smell of tobacco and many people are repulsed by this. Vaping, however, emits no second-hand smoke and no nasty smells. It is completely smoke free, allowing people to vape in the majority of public places and, most importantly, in the comforts of their own homes without damaging the environment around them with excessive tobacco smoke.
Vaping is also scentless and does not release any smell into the environment. In contrast, traditional cigarettes produce a smell that remains in the smoker’s clothes, skin and furniture for a long time. By vaping you will be eliminating no smell for your e-cigarette and you will also be protecting your body from the classic smoker’s fingers and teeth caused by traditional cigarettes. Vaping does not smell, stain or burn, protecting the smoker from bodily damage. Instead of walking around smelling of tobacco, vapers can walk around smelling of cinnamon buns, vanilla and cotton candy.
Gaining Your Health Back
Vaping is considered a considerably healthier alternative to traditional tobacco cigarette smoking. While traditional cigarette contains thousands of damaging chemicals that wreak havoc on your lungs, vaporizers only use water vapour and the chemicals contained in e-liquids are much healthier than the chemicals found in tobacco. By vaping, you can stop further yellowing of your teeth and fingernails, plus your clothes won’t smell like tobacco anymore. And most importantly, vaping offers a potentially cancer-free nicotine experience.
Environmentally Friendly
Vaping is more environmentally friendly. Just like a reusable water bottle, you can just keep re-filling your vaporizer with your e-liquids and vaping to your heart’s content. Whereas, traditional cigarettes are non-biodegradable, so when you throw them away, you are adding to the world’s waste that will last forever.
E-Liquid Flavours
Vaping offers a wide variety of e-liquids to choose from and users can choose their own flavours and styles. Vaping liquids have different flavours to satisfy different tastes and smokers can choose their favourite or swap and change as and when they want to. You can choose from the classic flavours or the more exotic, making the whole experience of vaping a much more satisfying alternative to tobacco. Here at Smokshop we have one of the largest selections of e-liquids for our customers to choose from.

Safety
Furthermore, vaping is a safe alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes as it reduces the risk of fire. In the UK, an estimated 7.27% of house fires are related to cigarettes and smoking. By vaping, this risk is drastically reduced.
However, there are still risks associated with vaping, as we discussed in our battery safety article /blogs/news/5-essential-battery-safety-tips-for-your-e-cigarette. As with any battery technology, certain steps should be taken to minimise the risk of fires caused by faulty cells or power surges. If you follow the safety precautions and take care of your device, any potential risks should be avoided.
Cost
Vaping represents a significant saving in comparison to traditional cigarettes. Once you have bought your start kit, the ongoing costs of vaping are primarily for e-liquid and replacement coils. In contrast, it is estimated that the average smoker in the UK spends around £2900 each year on cigarettes, even the heaviest of smokers must admit that is a significant expense! If you switch to vaping, you will discover the significant ease on your wallet.
Social
The final benefit of vaping is that it is considered far more social than traditional cigarette smoking. When the smoking ban was initiated across the UK, it has had a huge impact on businesses who have been forced to send smokers outside to stand and smoke in the cold English weather.
Vaping offers these smokers the opportunity to remain inside, continuing the conversation with their friends and enjoying a drink or a nice meal without having to constantly duck outside for a smoke.
As with many things, there are a number of negatives linked with vaping. However, it is recommended that vaping is a safer and healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes.
