7 Reasons Why Ex-Smokers Swear by E-Cigarettes

Do you want to quit smoking? Are you looking for an effective and attainable way to get rid of horrible-smelling and tasting traditional cigarettes? Do you want to know why everyone is ditching smoking for vaping? If you answered yes, then this blog is for you!

Here are seven reasons why ex-smoker-vapers especially feel proud of their harm-reducing choice.

 

1. THE NUMBER OF CHEMICALS

One of the reasons why people consider e-cigarettes less harmful than traditional cigarettes is that they have fewer chemicals. With regular cigarettes, users are exposed to a deadly mix of over 7000 chemicals—many of which are toxic. The collective harm of these chemicals in tobacco cigarettes can be even worse. Whereas, e-cigarette vaping likely involves only four or five ingredients—with one of them just being flavor.

The nicotine level

The nicotine level in e-cigs is lower than traditional cigarettes—which allows users to get used to less and less. You can also find e-cigs that don't even have nicotine at all.

 

2. THE DELIVERY SYSTEM

Vapes and cigarettes both deliver nicotine, but the latter one does so in a more harmful way. Regular cigarettes deliver nicotine by burning tobacco, which results in smoke with a high concentration of harmful toxins.

On the other hand, e-cigarettes deliver nicotine in a less harmful way by heating (not burning) up the e-liquid. The users inhale the nicotine in vapor form, rather than inhaling smoke.

Vapor vs. smoke

Traditional cigarette smoke contains solid particles that make up around 10 percent of the smoke. The solid particles, which are collectively known as tar, stain everything in their path—from teeth to lungs. Whereas, the e-liquid vapor only contains liquid particles which can be decomposed, making it easier for the body to absorb or discharge them. So, if you are a heavy smoker, switching to vapes would result in less harm—if used appropriately.

3. THE SMELL

The e-cigarette vapor can smell like a wide range of different scents and flavors. Its smell is determined by its unique ingredients. Cigarette smoke, on the other hand, smells awful (especially for other people/non-smokers) because it contains tar as well several other chemicals. 

 

The worst part? The awful, unpleasant smell of tobacco cigarettes sticks to your clothes and lingers in your home for hours if not days. Whereas, the smell of e-liquid leaves the area very quickly.

 

4. PRODUCT SAFETY

There is a myth that vaping devices are unsafe because they feature batteries that can catch fire and explode. But the reality is: e-cigarette explosions and fires are rare and avoidable events. Most vape pods feature regular lithium-ion batteries that pose no more of a risk than other similar batteries in laptops and cell phones. The level of fire risk in vaping (as compared to smoking) is lower because e-cigarettes rely on atomization, not combustion. 

The fire risks actually come from faulty or counterfeit products.

 

5. THE COST

Vape products are generally cheaper than cigs because they are taxed at lower rates. And the increasing competition in this relatively newer market is likely to result in even lower prices in future. Moreover, the ratio of puffs per dollar is also higher with a vape. For example, our basic iGetOz disposable pod offers 600 smooth and delicious puffs for just $13.95, way more than what you can expect from a pack of cigs at a similar price.

 

6. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT

Traditional tobacco cigarettes are more harmful to the environment because they emit several air-polluting compounds. In contrast, e-cigs are considered safer for the environment—especially because they don't emit carbon dioxide.

Moreover, tobacco cultivation causes deforestation and soil degradation because it utilizes harmful chemicals. Switching to eco-friendly e-cigs helps us deal with such environmental issues.

 

7. THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE

E-cigs offer the similar experience, satisfaction, and vibes as smoking conventional cigarettes—while causing less harm to the user as well as the bystander. Vaping comes with the added benefit of customization (of flavors, length, and frequency of puffs, and vaporizers) that enhances the overall experience.

Vaping can help you quit smoking and still have a social life!
