There are very few things in life that are entirely risk-free, and when you decide to smoke or vape you already know about the risks and make an informed decision based on that.
However, many people use vaping as a way to quit cigarettes for good despite there still being some, albeit it lesser risks; that begs the question, why is vaping better than smoking?
Chemical
We know that cigarettes are jam-packed with chemicals, and most of the time that won’t bother a smoker. But when you hear that it’s things like arsenic, ammonia and lead – it might give you reason to stop and think.
When it comes to vaping, you don’t have any of those chemicals in a typical liquid.
Most vaping liquids will have VP and PG, which are food colouring ingredients – and nicotine if you choose to add it.
Flavours
Cigarettes come in two flavours – regular and menthol (although the mint ones aren’t available as they once were). But with vaping you can choose any flavour you like and when I vaped this was a big part of the appeal.
Feel like smoking blueberry pancakes? No problem. Fancy some strawberry cheesecake? Also possible – check with your local Vape Supplies store what they have available.
Ease of use
Early models of vaping machines were often fiddly and felt awkward to use. However, modern vaping devices are easy to use, and some have a vast array of options.
You can buy powerful vape machines that billow big thick smoke clouds or discrete ones that fit in the palm of your hand. It’s up to you what you choose.
Helps reduce smoking
Many smokers want to quit, but when it comes to it – it can be pretty tricky. It’s not just about the chemicals in the cigarette; it is also about the actions.
Sitting with a morning coffee and a cigarette – you need something to occupy your hands. You are heading out with friends who smoke? The temptation can be too much – even with supportive friends.
Vaping can and has helped millions of people reduce how much they smoke or quit entirely.

Less addictive
It is much easier to stop vaping than it is to stop smoking. Many people start with a vape juice with some nicotine and slowly go down until they just have the experience and the flavour.
This means that it becomes easier to simply stop vaping if you feel like it.
If the overall goal is to stop smoking and vaping altogether, then vaping makes it possible to get down to zero nicotine.
No butts
Even if you don’t personally drop cigarette butts, they are still everywhere. Since there are no butts with vaping, they don’t have the same kind of impact on the environment that smoking does.
Compared to the smoke that a cigarette emits, what comes from a vape machine is essentially steam, which isn’t harmful to the environment.
Smoking is a tough habit to kick to the curb, but the more you know about vaping the more you can see why many people have successfully made the switch.
