A Guide To Stop Smoking and Switch to Vaping.

Quitting smoking is one of the most common and hardest for all smokers. There is a good reason for it: it is responsible for over 480,000 deaths each year in the US alone.

The problem is that quitting isn’t easy. The most commonly-used approach is “cold turkey” – just stopping smoking altogether – data has shown that this is the least effective approach. Using patches and gums can help you to improve your chances a little bit.

Vaping is a game-changer. It is both helpful in getting you to quit smoking and having fun doing it. You will enjoy vaping pretty much the same way you enjoy smoking, and in many ways, it’s more enjoyable.

But it’s not easy. The fact is if you want to be successful in quitting, you’ll need some useful advice for getting the right vaping device.

Why Should You Switch to Vaping? Dubai

Before getting into the tips, there are a few very important points to stress.

First, and most important, vaping is much safer than smoking, in fact, at least 95% less harmful according to the Royal College of Physicians. The science isn’t completely settled when it comes to the precise amount of risk reduction, but there is no evidence whatsoever that suggests vaping is even close to being as dangerous as smoking.

Vaping also helps you quit smoking. The fact is backed up by basically every study on the topic: vaping is effective as nicotine replacement therapy. Using an alternative source of nicotine, it’s much easier to stop smoking.

Finally, vaping will save you a lot of money compared to smoking.

7 Tips for helping you make the switch and stop smoking

 

 

1 – Finding the Right vape Device

There are a number of different e-cigarette or vaping devices on the market in Dubai and the UAE. Vaping has expanded immensely since the vaping technology first started. In the beginning, people used to start on little e-cigs that looked pretty much like a standard cigarette, but the technology quickly advanced to vape pens and, later, mods. Previously the option was a mod that is a little complicated.

But pod devices have really changed the game for vapers. The main benefits are that they are portable, easy-to-use and efficient in controlling your cravings in combination with nicotine salt e-liquid. There are many options of pod-style options like Smok or Myle, but these have higher nicotine levels than the standard e-juices.

So while deciding on the best advice, there are several options to consider, and head down to Bawadi Vape store for help, but at present, we think pod-style devices are the best place to start and the most coast efficient.

2 – Make a Plan for Quitting

Deciding on a quit date is an important part of your attempt at quitting smoking. If you don’t set a date and commit to it, so you don’t end up just having “one last smoke” or finishing up your current pack, and you might never even start. Whatever date you choose, make sure that you don’t smoke from this day.

3 – Identify When You Most Need to Smoke

Identifying your “triggers” for smoking is an essential part of quitting smoking, whichever way you decide to quit. Vaping will help you and makes it easier, as when you hit your trigger, just vape in the same way you would smoke to give yourself the nicotine you need. But it’s a mistake to assume that switching over is easy and seamless, so you still need to commit when the urges are most difficult to deal with.

The key is to make your existing smoking behaviour the same as vaping, but vaping will feel different as the nicotine doesn’t hit you as fast. If you manage the difficult situations over the first few days, that will help, but in any case, if you are still struggling, you can change to something as simple as taking a stronger e-liquid can help you get through the cravings.

4 – What is the Right Amount of Nicotine

Finding the right nicotine strength is the most difficult part of buying e-juice for the first time. 

For standard e-liquids or freebase, the go-to advice is to start on 6 mg/ml if you smoke a pack a day, 3 mg/ml if you have less than a pack.

However, if you’re using nicotine salt e-liquids with a pod device, with salt nicotine e-juices they come in 50 mg/ml, and lower levels like 35 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml.

If you’re using a pod device, starting somewhere around 50 mg/ml is good advice, but it is possible that 50 mg/ml will be a little too strong for you, so trying a lower option is a good idea even if you smoke a pack a day. If you are smoking more than one pack a day, it is a good idea to start with 50 mg.

5 – Find a Flavor You Enjoy

One of the biggest benefits of vaping is that it’s actually fun and offer a wide range of e-juice flavours, and finding flavours you enjoy is a big part of the fun. It is a good idea to explore a lot of different flavours when you first start vaping. 

Most smokers want to start with tobacco e-juice, but it’s definitely worth exploring other flavours, especially when you’re starting out. Once you find a non-tobacco flavor you really enjoy, it will help you differentiate the habit of vaping from smoking and actually help you start to enjoy and like vaping more than smoking.

Unfortunately, it is a long process. Most vapers take them some time exploring the options before they find a flavour that’s perfect for them. The best advice is to choose a selection of different flavors you think you’ll enjoy and then settle on the one you like for your next purchase.

6 – Don’t Worry to Vape a Lot at First

Many smokers are afraid that they are “replacing one habit with another” and honestly, that’s true. But the main point is that vaping is a much less harmful, less expensive and generally more pleasant habit. 

The fact that vaping ejuice is generally less efficient in getting nicotine into your blood than smoking. This means that you’ll usually need to vape a lot more than you would have smoked to feel satisfied in the beginning, and especially when you first start. Even if you chain vape in the beginning, it’s worth it if it means you can make the transition away from smoking. You can worry about reducing the amount you vape later, but stopping smoking should be your number one goal at first.

7 – A Slip Up is Ok and Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed

Despite your best efforts, you might slip up every once in a while. The main thing is that if you slip up, remember that you haven’t “failed” in your goal of quitting. Slip-ups are normal. The important thing is to start the next day just as confidently as you started the first one.
