Still smoking cigarettes? It may be time to consider vaping as an alternative. Vaping is more than a fad; British newspaper The Daily Mirror reported in 2015 that half a million people had switched from traditional cigarettes to vaping in the last year alone. What's driving people to make the change? There are several reasons why the appeal of vaping is convincing cigarette smokers to give it a try.
Money
It's all about the bottom line. The cost of cigarettes has been rising steadily for decades. According to The Motley Fool, the average price for a pack of cigarettes, including taxes, was as high as $12.85 in 2014. That adds up to hundreds per month, and thousands every year.

A growing number of A-list celebrities are vaping fans, from Leonardo DiCaprio and Brittany Spears to Norman Reedus and Katy Perry. The uptick in the popularity of vaping is happening at the same time that cigarettes are less popular than ever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that cigarette use has been on the decline for years, and is currently at the lowest level since the survey began in 1965.
Control
One of the biggest benefits of switching to vaping is that you can control your nicotine intake. The average cigarette smoker absorbs about .1 milligram of the drug for each cigarette they smoke. E-liquid is available in a wide range of nicotine levels, from levels above those found in cigarettes to low levels that step all the way down to zero. This allows vapers to choose how much nicotine they want, and to step down their nicotine use if they want to. As a result, vaping is an excellent option for those who want to step down or even stop using nicotine.

First, vaping is bad for the body and one's health. Vaping is the heating of a liquid, or “juice," until it becomes a vapor that is then inhaled. Since vaping has only been around in recent years, there are not many studies about them yet, but what researchers have seen so far does not look good for the future. Researchers say, “And then there's the nicotine. This is the component in cigarettes that smokers get hooked on. Research shows that nicotine may be as addictive as heroin or cocaine” (Lombardi). Many people “stop smoking" with the use of a vape. Little do they know, some of the same components found in cigarettes are also found in a vape. Nicotine, found in both vapes and cigarettes, is proven to be extremely addictive. Research shows that it could be as addictive as cocaine or heroin. For years, researchers have studied the horrendous outcome of nicotine effects on the body.
The use of e-cigarettes has been growing substantially in recent years as a much safer and healthier alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. The use of e-cigarettes is also known as vaping since e-cigarettes work by using water vapor instead of smoke, and they closely emulate the look and feel of smoking without the harmful health effects of tobacco smoke. While many people enjoy the benefits of vaping, there are several myths about vaping that have sprung up recently that are simply not true.
E-cigs are a fantastic way to help people quit smoking, because when switching over the smokers will still be getting the nicotine that they crave without all of the terrible and harmful effects on the body. E-cigs may also trick the mind too, by inhaling the vapor the brain may think it is smoke and be much more satisfied with it than just a nicotine patch. There was study done recently of 657 people with 289 using e-cigs, 295 on nicotine patches, and 73 using placebo e-cigs all trying to quit smoking. After six months, they had the test subjects report back whether or not they were able to quit. The data came back very compelling with 21/289 people quit on e-cigs, 17/295 on nicotine patches quit, and 3/73 were able to quit on placebo e-cigs. They came to a conclusion that e-cigs, with or without nicotine, were moderately effective at helping smokers quit smoking, and with equal to if not better quitting rates than nicotine patches (Bullen et al). It is proven that e-cigarettes/vapes can be a significant and if not the best method to quit
Vaping is a healthier alternative to smoking, though by no means is it good for you. Though you can’t argue with the fact that vaping is better for your health than smoking traditional cigarettes. I will agree on the fact that the nicotine warnings should be placed on all bottles of vape juice and things alike that contain nicotine. This was approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Also, I agree that advertising of devices or products that deal with vapes and e-cigs should be prohibited. Vaping should be for the use of breaking traditional cigarette smoking habits and not displayed to our youth so openly.
