Do people care about health mostly when vaping?

Yes, this entire forum is to help educate people trying to quit smoking by vaping, mostly as an healthier option to smoking.

 

I know some are interested in it for budgetary purposes. In states like New York and Florida, they've put heavy taxes on cigarettes, making them quite the luxury. You can buy a decent kit and enough liquid to last a month for the price a carton of cigarettes. Sometimes it's a combination of health costs and real-life costs.

 

I know a family member who switched due to both the health effects along with the smell. They started as a kid still living in their parents home therefore they had to be cautious when smoking. And anyone who has smoked cigs know how hard it is to get the scent off your clothes.

 

The health concerns for vaping vs analog cigarettes has been had many many times, but the actual RESEARCH points to the same conclusion. Vaping is much safer.

Those are just a few articles. I personally think there is a lot of money being paid to make people think it is more hazardous than cigarettes. Tobacco is a huge industry, but that might just be me being paranoid. Either way, the science says it all.

 

Well, those who prefer vaping over smoking already kind of care about their health

 

I think most people switch to vaping not only for the health benefits, but also because it's much cheaper. It really is worth it. Some people spend loads of money on cigarettes that's hard to reach when vaping.

 

My main reasons for switching to an e-cig were the fact that it's waaay cheaper and it just tastes better. I haven't noticed any improvement on my health, except the fact that my taste buds sure do feel better.

 

I didn't really notice the health benefits for a few weeks, maybe 2 months? Once I stopped coughing up so much when I had to bust a lung and had more jogging stamina, I realized how far I'd come. Now I'm pretty much purged of all that gunk and feel amazing in the lungies

 

Yes, that's the reason why I switched to vaping. I was a smoker before, but I was concerned about my health. Vaping is safer than smoking in so many ways.

 

I personally moved over to vaping due to the fact that I wanted to give up nicotine, but that being said the health benefits ended up being the main point of me leaving cigarettes behind. As much as I'd like to give up all together, I do enjoy vaping, and as of right now there aren't that many health issues associated with it, so I'll just carry on. If a study turns around and says "OK, vaping will kill you just as easily as regular cigarettes," then I'd probably just give up.

But hey, it's not just health - the money vaping saves is insane. I quite smoking cigarettes when it got to 8 a day, and even now it's crazy how much money I'm saving in comparison to that, never mind if I were smoking 15 a day like some people I know.

 

Ehh... There's been some pretty scary stuff in the news recently though about the increase of lung disease in people who vape. I'm still not sold on the entire safety just yet but I'm obviously not going to stop. I think vaping is currently in early stages for us to say too much about how "safe" it is, and people should not fool themselves or assume that it's so much safer. If you have literally 0 nicotine in it then maybe.

 

Thank you for these posts. I think it's important to spread the word about the healthier alternative to smoking which is vaping. Lots of studies have already proven that it's safer and up to now, I have yet to find a study that outlines its negative effects. Although it's safer to avoid both, if you're worried about your health because you're smoking, you can try vaping since it has less of the risks that the former has.

 

I switched to vaping to quit smoking first and foremost but I also love all the interesting flavors I get to try now. Cigarette smoke gives me a headache now.

 

The health factor really matters, because other people can be mean with vapers.

Vaping is a lot more healthier, then simple cigarettes. Of course there is still nicotine in it, but if talking about vaping with other people the health side always comes up. This is one of the things you can use to tell your friends about vaping.

 

I think it's two things, the health benefits and the fact that you can regulate the amount of nicotine you take into your body. There are a lot of people that started vaping in an attempt to quit smoking.

 

I believe a lot of people pick up vaping as a way to get away from the negative effects of cigarettes, but we still don't know all of the negative side effects of vaping either, so I'm not sure if that's actually a good enough reason to switch.

 

Yes. Vaping is healthier so that's the primary reason people are switching to vaping. Smoking has a lot of negative effects on health and I think this was the primary reason why vaping was invented.

 

I am not sure I know of anyone who vapes who does not have some past relationship with tobacco and smoking. I am sure they are out there, I just do not know any, but I also think that it shows the vast majority of the users out there, who yes are concerned about health. It is a better option, and a way to start to get off other forms of smoking, so I would say that is the target market.

 

I can very surely see it was a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. And I do believe that people who switch from cigarettes to vaping is most likely due to self health concerns.

 

I didn't realize how much cigarettes stank until I started vaping. I think once more people stop smoking and start vaping we will get rid of that smell.
