There\u2019s no doubt in the vast majority of medical opinion: vaping is a far safer habit than smoking cigarettes<\/a>. But, there is evidence to suggest that using e-cigs or vaping devices can increase your addiction to nicotine. While this in itself isn\u2019t a health issue – as far as we know – it would be nice to say goodbye to nicotine altogether, right? <\/strong><\/p>\n

That said, using electronic cigarettes can be an excellent first way of kicking the nicotine habit completely. We\u2019re going to show you exactly what to do in this short guide. Read on to find out more, and feel free to adapt the plan to suit your needs. Let\u2019s take a closer look. <\/span><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your first step is to find out more about vaping and e-cigarette products. There are many different options out there. You can consider e-cigs that look like the real thing, or pipe-like contraptions that resemble lightsabers. Go online and find vaping forums – and pop in and say hello. There is a wealth of experience and knowledge on message boards, and you will get an answer to most of your questions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Order the products<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can pop into your local vaping shop and buy equipment from there, of course. But, it\u2019s often cheaper to buy from online suppliers. Plus, many of them have discount codes that you can use for a first purchase. Order them in, make sure you have enough to last a month or so, and you will be ready for the next step. Ensure that you have enough juices, too. Many suppliers – <\/span>https:\/\/flavourfactory-eliquid.co.uk<\/span><\/a>, for example – offer packages. A couple of these will last you a while. Go for an e-liquid strength that matches your cigarette brand. An 18 mg liquid, for instance, will be just the job for someone who rolls their own without filters. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quit smoking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you have your vaping or e-cig gear, quit smoking straight away. The statistics – <\/span>http:\/\/scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org\/<\/span><\/a> – are harsh reading if you don\u2019t stop smoking. You will find that vaping isn\u2019t the same, but give it a few days and you will get used to the new feelings and effects. There will be temptations, and you might slip up. But, try not to let that bother you. Just focus on transferring your nicotine addiction from real cigarettes to the electronic version. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be wary<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the problems with vaping and e-cigarettes is that you can use them at any time. Try to avoid this, or your devices will become part of your every waking moment. Stick to some sort of schedule – have a vape after a cup of tea, for example. Being aware will help you from forming an even greater nicotine habit that is harder to kick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cut down your strength<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you have got used to vaping and don\u2019t smoke at all, you can start thinking about dropping the nicotine levels. For example, let\u2019s say you are vaping with 18mg e-liquids; you could drop it down to 15 mg. Then you could go to 12 mg, and so on. It won\u2019t be easy to adjust straight away, but you will eventually. Once you get down to nicotine-free juice, it will take a couple of weeks or so for the addiction to subside. At this point, you can concentrate on quitting the vape, too.<\/span><\/p>\n
