    Smokers who switch to vaping, do they care most about health benefits?

    As someone who never smoked more than 2 cigarettes a day, I really was not concerned about the effects of smoking on health, so for me it wasn't an issue at all.

    In my experience, that is correct, I myself switched after 22 years of smoking because I started to feel the effects of cigarettes on my health.

    Most of my mates tell me how much cheaper it is over time. Me and mine are still pretty young so health doesn't figure into it for most of them (young and dumb still. haha).

    So: Economics, mainly.

    At least in my small corner of the globe.

    I have done it for cost and health benefits.
    Health benefits is that my doctor told me if I was to quit by the time I was 21 it would be like I never smoked and I've not long lost someone to lung cancer who smoked like a train so kind of put me off
    Cost wise is that vaping for me is so much cheaper than smoking cigarettes.

    @Jade: When did you start with cigarettes? You sound like you've started quite young.

    I started when I was 12. I'm 19 now and haven't long been stopped but it is a struggle with the people around me still smoking

    The main reason I switched to gaping was because of the cost of buying cigarettes, and the health incentive was just a bonus.

    Really you'd think it should be the other way round, but I did (and still do every now and again) enjoy smoking, it was just the prices I found ridiculous.

    I think most people switch to vaping not only for the health benefits, but also because of the money saving that comes with it. It really is worth it. Some people spend $300 a month when smoking cigarettes, that's hard to reach when vaping.

    I think no matter what your reasons actually are, there's no denying the fact that vaping makes more sense than smoking cigarettes on every level.

    What most people find hardest is initially making that first switch, but it soon becomes clear that when you do that you've made the right decision.

    That is the main reason why I switched. I am a long time smoker and still smoke yulk! I just can't seem to find the right juice.

    I switched mainly for the health benefits. I was starting to get gum disease and I had some pretty painful dentist visits, eventually I had enough! I also was diagnosed with asthma shortly before I switched and I knew I needed to do more to protect my health. My doctors and dentists have been thrilled. Now I appreciate a lot more about vaping - I love the flavors, cost savings, and how much better they smell.

    Well, for me, switching to vapes is certainly something I did for my health. The smoker's cough is relentless especially during cold nights, I can't sleep through the whole night because of it. Then there's that yellowing of the teeth which is not only unhealthy, it's also unattractive. My skin was also quite bad back when I was smoking cigarettes. And my gums! They're super dark and not pinkish at all.

    Someone I know didn't necessarily switched to vaping. He actually isn't a smoker at all! He just got into vaping because of his friends. So in that sense, not all vapers are former smokers.

    I think vaping has less side effects if not any than smoking tobacco cigarettes,. So the answer is yes, they are concerned about their health.

    Well I cared about health before I tasted the bananas foster. Then the fudgey stuff my friend had. Then the Strawberry waffles, the Lock Shock & Barrel, the mango citrus vanilla, etc. Come for the lungs, stay for the chance that some day you can eat a hot mustard pretzel but with your lungs :D

    I think most long term smokers find it hard to quit fully, even with the help of things like vaping, I know I certainly am.

    The way I look at it though is that it's only because of vaping that I've managed to cut down drastically after trying nearly all the other stop smoking paraphernalia that's on the market in the past, so at least now I know I've found something that's helping and eventually I'll hopefully be able to quit fully in the near future.

    I switched for the health effect but also for the smell. I got to a point where I couldn't stand the smell of the cigarette on everything. Now I feel much better on both of these aspects.

    Yea for me the thing that made me switch over to vaping was not only the health benefits, but also the economic benefits. I was spending a ton of money every week buying dip and it was hurting my wallet and the more frequent trips to the dentist were also costing me a bunch out of pocket, so im really glad I made the switch.

    I agree that when it comes to vaping, the main benefits are both cost and health related. Obviously, vaping can be seen as a good way to get off cigarettes and improve your health. It's also nice to put a break on your wallet so you aren't throwing all the money away you were before. The final reason that I switched to vaping was probably the smell.

    I agree with most of the folks on here that by and large, most people vape for the health benefits. There is, as has been mentioned, the economic benefits as well. I think, though, that there is also a social aspect to it. A lot people who smoke regular cigarettes associate with others smokers, so it's nice to know you can still step out with them from time to time without the urge to break your resolve of not smoking.

    I see, that is quite early. Steel your resolve and keep on keepin' on. Maybe someday your steadfastness will inspire some of your friends to quit!
