OPINION PIECE:
WHY ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES?
Vaping nicotine is a great way to switch from combustible cigarettes, whether you use a disposable, salt nicotine or regular nicotine. As an ex-smoker of 25 years, I have not had a cigarette for over 7 years. At this point in my life, I still vape a very low level of nicotine at 3 mg and sometimes 0 mg of nicotine. It keeps me from picking up a cigarette, because for me the craving for a cigarette never went away.
DISPOSBLES VERSUS MODS
Let’s look at the difference between disposable electronic cigarettes and the bigger mods.
Disposables are:
*Easy to use.
*Vape it. Throw it away.
*New versions of disposables are rechargeable.
*Lots of flavors to choose from.
*Available in 50 mg, sometimes 28 mg and 30 mg.
Mods/Vape Kits:
*Easy to use.
*Reusable.
*Thousands of flavors to choose from.
*You can switch flavors at any given time (because adults love flavors).
HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON TO USE A MOD
You can lower your level of nicotine. Disposables come in 50 mg of nicotine sometimes 28 mg to 30 mg, but mostly 50 mg. There is no pathway to lower your nicotine level. E-Liquid comes in 0 to 24 mg in thousands of flavors. By using a mod that utilizes more power, your body requires less nicotine. Many, many people use a mod to switch from smoking, lower their level of nicotine and QUIT vaping all together.
THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO VAPE
We support all forms of electronic cigarettes that enable people to switch from combustible cigarettes to a less harmful product. BUT, consider using a mod with less nicotine and more options for flavors. There is a clear pathway to lower your level of nicotine, still enjoy vaping, and stay off the cigarettes.
