<\/a><\/p>\nAccording to research, you\u2019re five times more likely to quit smoking altogether if you stop for 28 days<\/a>. And if your spouse or partner stops smoking, you\u2019re two thirds more likely to stop yourself. So doing it together really is the best way.<\/p>\n Vape pens are no longer a stranger to the modern workplace, and you\u2019ll see people happily vaping on the streets, but does it really count as giving up if you\u2019re still getting your fix from an e-cigarette?<\/p>\n Simply put, research has shown that vaping is far, far safer than smoking. An expert independent evidence review has concluded that the current best estimate is that the use of e-cigarettes is 95% safer than smoking<\/a>.<\/p>\n In fact, Public Health England recently stated that vapourisers could make a \u2018significant contribution\u2019<\/a> to the \u2018endgame of tobacco\u2019. So if you\u2019re struggling to stop smoking, switching to a vapouriser could mean not only getting yourself off cigarettes but also it could spell the end for big tobacco!<\/p>\n Most e-liquids contain at least some nicotine, that\u2019s true. However, nicotine is pretty misunderstood. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n Nicotine is a naturally-occurring chemical that you can find in places like potatoes and cauliflower<\/a>. But you don\u2019t see us all trying to give up that Sunday roast, right?<\/p>\n Yes, nicotine is addictive, but it\u2019s not the cancer-causing chemical that you find in cigarettes. The effects of nicotine alone are similar to the buzz you might get off of a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n The great thing about vaping is that you can address the cause of your addiction without having to get all of the tar and smoke that actually cause the ill-effects of smoking.<\/p>\n Well, not all e-liquid actually contains nicotine. You can shop by nicotine content<\/a>, and slowly wean yourself off the nicotine if you so wish, so that you\u2019ll end up inhaling the vapour from just the flavourings and the carrier chemicals.<\/p>\n You can read more about e-liquid in last month\u2019s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n The biggest difference between smoking a cigarette and, for example, picking up a blu Pro Kit<\/a>, is combustion. You don\u2019t set anything alight, and so you don\u2019t create smoke. Essentially, you don\u2019t inhale the most harmful chemicals that you\u2019d otherwise be inhaling.<\/p>\n Quitting is hard, which is why 70% of smokers would like to quit \u2014 but can\u2019t. If you\u2019re struggling to give up, or if you just want to try something different, vaping is a healthier, cheaper and more enjoyable alternative to smoking that doesn\u2019t come with harsh nicotine withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n Making your month Swaptober does not mean you\u2019ve failed Stoptober. You\u2019ll have still stopped smoking if you\u2019ve made the jump to e-cigarettes. Get those tastebuds working again<\/a>, improve your fitness, and stop smelling of smoke<\/a>. All this thanks to swapping to e-cigarette. Swaptober is the month to do it, and you\u2019ve still got a few hours left!<\/p>\n Remember, moving to e-cigarettes is not the end of the story if you don\u2019t want it to be. They can be used as a means to move away altogether from sucking anything other than fresh air in the long run. As long as you don\u2019t quit vaping because you\u2019re taking up smoking again, it\u2019s fine by us!<\/p>\n So, November is on our doorstep, and that means you\u2019ve probably heard of Stoptober by now. This October, thousands of people tried to quit smoking for the entire month, and the idea is that this will then help you give up smoking for good. According to research, you\u2019re five times more likely to quit smoking […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Have you thought about vaping?<\/b><\/h3>\n
