Vaping 17/11/2023

Adult smokers looking for an alternative to cigarettes could make the switch for the potential hygiene and convenience that may come with vaping. Of course, these should be substantiated on a product-by-product basis. The best decision any adult smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.

Why Some Adult Users Vape – Variety

There may be some reasons to consider for those legal age adult (18+) users switching from cigarettes to a vape, such as the potential variety of products and devices available. Vapes often come in a range of different designs, shapes, and sizes. From vape mods to pods, disposable e-cigarettes, and more, the expansive selection of options typically accommodate for a lot of preferences amongst legal age adult (18+) smokers. Furthermore, e-liquids usually come in various tastes, allowing an adult vaper to choose a particular one that suits them.

Why Some Adult Users Vape - Convenience

Some vapes, such as mod systems, usually require a complicated setup and thus a wider understanding of vape technology. However, there are some vapes that may be more suitable.

Pod systems usually consist of different components, including the battery and the pod (containing the e-liquid). By attaching these two parts, the device should work as intended. Follow manufacturer guidance on accurate information on how to use your device.

While cigarettes produce smoke, vapes usually do not, and the lack of smoke in vapes may result in certain benefits related to convenience and hygiene. Cigarette smoke contributes to staining on fabrics in an environment where cigarettes are used.

Smoke-Free Alternatives to Cigarettes

For those who would rather switch to a smoke-free alternative, you might be interested in IQOS heated tobacco devices.

Vaping vs Smoking

Unlike cigarettes, which require combustion for the tobacco to burn and smoke to be produced, vapes make use of an e-liquid solution, generally containing nicotine (which can be natural or synthetic/man-made) and flavorings, and the process of vaporization to produce vapor instead of smoke.

What are the Vape Kits for adult smokers?

For adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products, vaping is a smoke-free alternative. Vaping is a different experience from smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes produce smoke because they burn tobacco, but with vapes, the vapor is produced because the e-liquid evaporates when it is heated. Vape kits may make it easier for those adults who want to switch from smoking to vaping. Usually, the kits’ bundle contains all the equipment that you would need when switching from smoking to vaping.
