Vaping is exploding more rapidly in the UK than anywhere else in Europe, with 2.2 million<\/strong><\/a> British vapers using e-cigarettes. At 4.2% of the population, that\u2019s a whole 1.1% higher than France, the country with the second highest ratio of vapers. Vape pens in the UK are everywhere \u2014 in trains, cafes, buses, restaurants \u2014 meaning no longer do you have to come back from public places smelling of tobacco. Products such as the Kangertech<\/strong><\/a> Subvod and the BO One e-cig Starter Kit<\/strong><\/a> ensure that making the transition has never been simpler.<\/p>\n

So, with one smoker switching to vaping<\/strong><\/a> every four minutes, why are they still being considered a gateway into nicotine addiction? The stats simply don\u2019t add up, so it\u2019s time to debunk them in a cloud of vapour.<\/p>\n

Vape Pens in the UK Help Quitters Do Just That<\/h3>\n

The gateway theory<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 the theory that vaping is a gateway for teens to start smoking \u2014 is one that is posited every couple of months and debunked just as regularly. The stats certainly don\u2019t support the theory that e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking. In 2016, a study carried out by Public Health England<\/strong><\/a> found that \u201cnearly all of the 2.6 million e-cigarette users in the U.K. are former or current smokers<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 many of whom are using the device to quit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The huge benefit of vape pens over cigarettes as a way to quit, other than not damaging your lungs, is that you can reduce your nicotine level slowly, while still keeping your hand to mouth habit<\/strong><\/a>. Until you find the brand, e-liquid and nicotine level that works for you, a good place to start is with a starter kit, such as those from Kangertech. If you don\u2019t want to mess around with e-liquid on the go, the BO One Starter Kit<\/strong><\/a> is a handy pod mod system, allowing you to refill with pre-filled pods.<\/p>\n

Vaping is a Gateway\u2026 to Cleaner Lungs<\/h3>\n

Shockingly, only 15% of the public<\/strong><\/a> think that vaping is healthier than smoking \u2014 in harsh contrast to the experts who have discovered that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking tobacco cigarettes.<\/p>\n

A study conducted by Cancer Research UK found that after only six months, ex-smokers who switched to e-cigarettes had considerably lower levels of toxic chemicals and carcinogens in their body than those who still smoked cigarettes. It isn\u2019t enough to cut down and partially replace tobacco, though; a full change is needed if you want to reduce your exposure to toxins. With the UK becoming more health-conscious, is it really any wonder that a UK smoker switches to e-cigs every four minutes?
\nBetter for You, Your Wallet and the Environment
\nNot only are e-cigs drastically better for your health than tobacco products; they\u2019re also better for the health of our planet and the animals living alongside us. E-cigs have gained an ally in PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), which has spent decades campaigning against the use of animals \u2014 mainly mice and beagles \u2014 in testing tobacco products.<\/p>\n

What many smokers also don\u2019t realise is that tobacco is not just damaging them and the animals that cigarettes are tested on, but they\u2019re also causing massive deforestation and destruction. If the health of your own lungs isn\u2019t enough of an incentive to be one of the people who change to e-cigs every four minutes, then the health of our planet and the animals upon it might just do the trick.<\/p>\n

Tobacco is on the way out and, if you haven\u2019t yet changed to picking up a BO One starter kit, or one of the many other kits we supply here at the Electric Tobacconist, then now\u2019s the time.
