Almost ten years after we initially published our beginner's guide, vaping has seen substantial transformation. Vape liquids and devices come in a wider range. Most importantly, there are more options for e-liquid and the devices are better and easier to use. The government, a number of charities and organizations, including the NHS Cancer Research and the Royal College of Physicians, have all backed vaping within the past ten years of research.

Never before has it been more advantageous to quit smoking and switch to vaping. This book has all the fundamental information you need to get started, as well as a ton of links to further resources for those who are interested in learning more.

Describe vaping.

When you vape, you heat a liquid into a vapour using an electronic device before inhaling it. Usually, but not always, the liquid contains nicotine. The action, sensation, and nicotine delivery of smoking are all replicated by vaping, but without the tobacco smoke that contributes to smoking-related illnesses.

How does vaping function?

Vape pens have a battery, a coil, and a liquid-holding container called a "tank," "pod," or "cartridge." The coil heats the vape juice when you inhale on the device or click the button, creating a vapour that is subsequently inhaled.

What makes vaping preferable to smoking?

People smoke tobacco for the nicotine and other addictive substances, but they also pass away from the smoke.Scientists claim that nicotine, which is typically included in vapour from vape devices, has a risk profile similar to that of coffee but is much less dangerous than other substances found in tobacco smoke.

Vaping is it safe?

Organizations like Public Health England have determined that vaping is at least 95% less dangerous than smoking cigarettes after conducting several, yearly evaluations of the available data, including longer-term research.

While long-term studies have shown that switching to vaping can correct some smoking ailments, scientists also estimate that vaping carries just 0.5% of the cancer risk of smoking.
