Looking to quit smoking? For years, we have followed the research closely. This time last year a similar study found electronic cigarettes to be up to 95% less harmful than cigarettes.
In the months that followed, the government released updated information regarding the sale of and use of vape devices. Coupled with an aggressive marketing campaign, the government gradually introduced vape devices trialled in hospitals as a Nicotine Replacement technique. The latest research from Oxford University has found “high certainty” evidence which supports the efficacy of vape devices for those who are trying to quit smoking.
In the study, which was funded by Cancer Research UK and published in the Cochrane Library, scientists discovered that nicotine based e-cigarettes have higher quit rates than any other NRT. The report included 78 studies which included 22,000 participants and an additional 22 studies on the last update.
Oxford University report that 22.3% of the world use tobacco, and that as many as half of all tobacco users will die from it.
The review findings indicate that 6 out of 100 ex-smokers quit using NRTs such as patches or nicotine gum. By comparison, as many as 8-12 in every 100 would quit smoking using e-cigarettes.
What does this mean for smokers who want to quit? That vape devices give you a higher chance of quitting tobacco than other Nicotine Replacement Therapies.
If you would like to use a vape device to quit smoking, you should start by familiarising yourself with studies like this. There is a persistent distrust of vape devices in the UK, with headlines of deaths in the USA scaring UK imbibers into continuing to smoke. Every chemical which is linked with lung diseases in vape juice is banned in the UK. The more research you read, the more you realise that vaping is a valid alternative to smoking. You could live longer by making the switch.
To switch to a vape device as an ex-smoker, pick a pod kit. These are easy to use, simple to charge and refill, and often only have one button which controls the vapour. The pod kit has an easy click-in refill system. Learn more about why Pod Kits are so Popular here.
As an ex-smoker, you want to imitate the throat hit you get when you inhale. If you choose too powerful a vape device, the vapour bypasses your throat and goes straight to your lungs. We call this Direct To Lung vaping, or DTL. Ex-smokers don’t want that, so avoid sub ohm devices. Instead, choose a pod kit with a battery power somewhere around 1000mAh. Use the pod kit like you used your cigarette. Press the button to inhale, hold it in you mouth, breathe in the vapour, and breathe it back out. It should hit your throat the right way. We call this MTL, or Mouth To Lung vaping.
