It seems as though smokers are still just as misinformed about vaping as everyone else, which is unfortunate – after all they stand the most to gain of anyone. We shouldn't find this surprising, since they are accosted by the same anti-vape propaganda from the network news outlets and newspapers as the rest of us. Here are a few facts about vaping that you won't hear in the news.
#1. Vaping is as dangerous as smoking cigarettes??
That's what we hear from journalists all the time, in the US and in Britain less than half the smokers believe that vaping is safer than smoking, however this number is going down. We hear that vapor is equally as bad as the of burning tobacco.
But is this accurate?
Actually the truth is very different. Last year we heard the findings from the research group “Public Health England” whitch is widely accepted as the most detailed study of vaping that’s ever been done. Their conclusion were pretty decisive – “electronic cigarettes are at least 95% safer than that of a burning cigarette”. That 5% potential risk includes the “supposed danger” of nicotine addiction; however when separated from tobacco, it isn’t actually clear weather or not nicotine is addictive at all.
#2. When you switch from smoking to vaping, you'll save a ton of money
For less than the price of a carton of cigarettes you could be set up with a quality vape mod and tank. Finding your favorite e-liquid flavor is part of the fun, in fact I mix my own strawberry & creme recipe and save even more $$ and this amount of e-liquid will last me literally months. After you find the equipment and flavors that work best, you will save hundreds of dollars in the first few months.
#3. To switch or to quit , this is the question
It's hard to quit smoking. Most smokers have tried it more than once; The simple fact is; most smokers keep smoking because they enjoy it more than there will power to quit.
With vaping it's different. You don’t have to actually stop doing anything – you just do it in a more advanced way. I remember thinking quitting smoking was actually fun, Then came sampling the many different flavors, very fun indeed.
You can however, always read the words of the thousands of vapers who’ve put their switching stories online. Find the real facts about vaping, and once you’ve done that maybe you'll feel better about switching to vape.
