One of the alternatives to cigarettes is vaping. Many adult smokers are interested in knowing what the differences are between vaping and smoking.
Vaping vs Smoking
The first and fundamental difference between cigarettes and vaping products is that, unlike cigarettes in which require combustion in order for the tobacco to burn and smoke to be produced, vapes make use of an e-liquid solution, generally containing nicotine and flavourings, and the process of vapourisation to produce vapour instead of smoke.
The factor that arguably poses the greatest risk to one’s health when it comes to smoking cigarettes is burning, and the harmful chemicals and substances that are produced during the process. The high temperatures that are produced during the cigarette combustion are responsible for the generation of most of the harmful chemicals which are detected on high levels in the cigarette smoke. When the tobacco is burnt, more than 6.000 chemical substances are released, around 100 of which have been identified as potential causes of smoking-related diseases.
By heating an e-liquid instead of burning tobacco, vapes present adult smokers with a better alternative to continued cigarette smoking. The absence of combustion is not the only potential difference when comparing vapes vs cigarettes. Unlike cigarettes, vapes may offer more variety. From the different device types such as mod vapes, pod systems and vape pens, to the different batteries and coil types that make a vape unique, there is plenty to consider. In addition, e-liquids come in a wide variety of flavours to suit every taste preference.
For an adult smoker, the number of available choices could make the decision difficult, but with so much variety, there are opportunities to find a device that suits particular preferences. One useful piece of advice to aid your search would be to focus on recognised and reliable brands and devices. It is worth noting that vapes are not risk-free and often provide nicotine, which is addictive. The best decision any adult smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Smoking alternatives are not risk free. They deliver nicotine, which is addictive. They are intended for use by adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use nicotine products and are by no means a cessation method. The best option to reduce the health risks associated with the use of tobacco and nicotine products is to quit their use altogether. However, for those adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, switching completely to vaping or heated tobacco products could be a better choice than continuing to smoke.
