How vaping can help you quit smoking
Vapes (also known as e-cigarettes) are electronic devices that let you inhale nicotine in an aerosol, or vapour, instead of smoke.
The routines and rituals of smoking can be hard to stop, so vaping can help you gradually let go of these while immediately reducing the health risks of smoking cigarettes.
Evidence shows that vaping is less harmful than smoking. Vaping exposes users to fewer toxins and at lower levels than smoking cigarettes.
However, vaping is not risk-free. Non-smokers and young people under 18 should not take up vaping. You can learn about other stop smoking aids here.
