The Pros and Cons of E-Cigarettes

Most people have mixed feelings when it comes to e-cigarettes or vaping in general. While there are benefits to vaping, especially over cigarette use, there are some downsides too. If you are looking to quit smoking and you think that investing in a vape device, you really ought to know more about them first, especially if this is your first foray into vaping.

There are a variety of e-cigarettes to choose from and many different retailers too, but before buying, you should make sure that you fully appreciate the pros and cons they offer.

The Pros

Depending on the vape juice that you buy and your personal preference, vape liquid doesn’t have to contain nicotine, and if it does, you can choose the strength yourself with a view to weaning yourself off nicotine altogether. The British government has embraced e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool, and this is in part due to the customisable nicotine strengths. For example, you can buy e-liquids ranging from 18mg to 3mg, with some completely free of nicotine. Also, because you can wean yourself off slowly, there is less chance of experiencing nicotine withdrawal.

E-cigarettes also do not contain any of the other harmful substances found in cigarettes, such as tobacco, tar or other toxic chemicals that are found in cigarettes. These other substances are known to be incredibly harmful and can contribute to cancer, heart disease and lung problems. And so, the fact that e-cigarettes do not contain them is a huge benefit to many. Because e-cigarettes do not have these ingredients in them, they are a far better option for many who are addicted to nicotine, as some people are unable or unwilling to give up nicotine. Therefore, many are encouraged to try vaping as a better alternative to smoking as it is a good enough mimic without the negative effects.

E-cigarettes are often much more cost-effective than cigarettes too. Packets of cigarettes can range from £9-£11 per pack. However, after the initial purchase of a starter kit or a tank or mod – whatever your preference may be all you need to purchase after that continually is the juice, which lasts far longer and is often rather inexpensive from the offset. So users can save quite a bit of money by switching to vaping, and for those that want to take up the habit, it is not too expensive.

There is also no risk of secondhand smoke from e-cigarettes, only the vapour, and this produces no ashes or unpleasant odours. This means that the air is safer for those around you, including children and pets. This also extends further; most e-cigarette users feel healthier after they switch from cigarettes. They can breathe more easily, and most people begin to lose their ‘smokers cough’ after they switch too.

The Cons

Whilst there are many pros to vaping, there are some cons too. First and foremost, it has not been around long enough for any long-term studies to have taken place. So while it is widely agreed to be far better than smoking, there is a very limited amount of knowledge and information on the long-term effects. There may not be any negative long-term effects, but the truth of the matter is that it is an unknown.

Nicotine is an addictive substance. It can raise blood pressure and restrict blood flow, which is something to bear in mind for anyone who wants to buy e-liquids with added nicotine. However, this is not mandatory as some juices do not contain nicotine, so it is down to personal choice. If you so choose to buy any nicotine product – whatever it may be you do so at your own risk.

Buying an E-Cigarette

If you do decide to take up this habit or make the switch, it is important to buy your vape products from reputable sellers like JM Wholesale Limited. They sell a huge range of high-quality vape products, from the equipment itself to the e-liquids. They also offer devoted and experienced vapers an opportunity to create their own line of white label vape and e-liquids. It can be an incredibly lucrative business to get into if you know your stuff.

That being said, if you do decide to start vaping, then you should do your research before buying. There are many different types of mods and tanks to choose from, all geared towards different needs. For example, some are better suited towards those who want to create huge vape clouds, which are very popular in competitive circles. Whereas some are better for those who want to switch from smoking. There are smaller sleeker designs with their own merits or bigger tanks with different capabilities.

In Conclusion

There are a number of different benefits to vaping over smoking or taking up vaping as a hobby in its own right. However, it is important to be aware of the potential downsides too. It is down to the individual to choose whether the pros outweigh the cons and vice versa
