The Day of the Vape: Smokers Making the
Switch to E-cigs | Ichor Liquid
Since vaping blew its way onto the global scene, it's been the subject of endless
controversies, myths, and downright misinformation. While it’s understandable
that people will always be a bit wary of change and new ways of doing things, the
criticisms leveled against vaping and e-cigs, in general, are particularly baseless.
Every four minutes, one smoker in the United Kingdom makes the decision to
switch to vaping, and there’s good reason for that. Let’s see if we can’t clear up
some of the theories and rumors clouding the phenomenon and find our way to the
clear facts.
Helping Smokers Quit, the Painless Way
One of the most persistent claims made by those against vaping is that e-cigs
represent a gateway for young people to get into smoking habits. You’ll hear these
claims pop up every few months or so, like clockwork, and they are always
debunked with ease. The simple fact of the matter is that the numbers just don’t
add up to support this claim. A study carried out by the Public Health Ministry of
England in 2016 brought forth the result that almost all of the 2.6 million e-cig
users in the United Kingdom are either current smokers trying to quit the habit
through vaping or former smokers. The numbers don’t lie.
What makes vaping such an effective aid to smokers in their efforts to rid
themselves of the nicotine habit is the fact that it gives them a chance to gradually
reduce their nicotine habit over time, which is a whole lot easier and has a much
higher success rate than giving it up cold turkey.
Another plus in the e-cig column is that it allows smokers in their quitting process
to dispose of their nicotine dependency while accommodating their hand-to-mouth
habit, which softens the withdrawal shock to the system. This might not seem to be
that big of a deal but it can make all the difference between a successful attempt to
give up cigarettes and a failed one.
Where They’ve Got it Wrong
One statistic illustrates just how misinformed the general public is when it comes
to matters regarding e-cigs. It’s reported that only 15% of the general public
considers vaping to be healthier than cigarette smoking. A report released by the
U.K. based Cancer Research Institute found that former smokers who had made
the switch to vaping tested for much lower carcinogen and toxic chemical levels
after just six months compared to those who continued smoking. A more healthconscious generation is awakening, and it’s little surprise that every four minutes, a
smoker in the U.K. is making the switch to e-cigs.
Clouds of Change are Billowing
Tobacco’s era is coming to a close; that much is becoming obvious. People are
rational enough to know that it doesn’t really help to cut back or switch to milder
cigarettes, the real solution is to completely cut out the toxin and carcinogen-laden
cigarettes that have caused so much untold harm to people. To get a better handle
on our social, economic, and physical well-being, e-cigs are definitely the way for
us to go.
