According to recent search engine data1<\/a><\/sup>, there are 210 online searches per month asking are vapes vegan? With this number of searches, it\u2019s clear that there are plenty of people out there interested to know if vapes are vegan. Unfortunately, the answer isn\u2019t as simple as you may think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, we\u2019re going to try and make it a whole lot clearer by explaining what\u2019s in your vape and vape liquids. We\u2019ll also divulge if these ingredients or the finished products are tested on animals. That way, you\u2019ll discover what makes a vegan vape and if there are in fact any animal ingredients in vapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re currently a smoker and class yourself as vegan, you\u2019ll also want to take a closer at what animal products may be in cigarettes which would make them unsuitable for vegans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Vegan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veganism is defined by the Vegan Society as,  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201c\u2026A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude-as far as possible and practicable \u2013 all forms of exploitation, and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or any other purpose\u2026\u201d2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, from this definition, published by the society that actually created the term \u201cvegan\u201d, it\u2019s fair to deduce that a vegan would want to avoid any vape or vape product that contained any animal elements or was tested on animals.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Vapes Considered Suitable for Vegans?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Our vape liquids don\u2019t contain any animal products and we also don\u2019t commission any animal testing for our products. However, like many products that vegans may or may not consider to align with their views, there can be historical testing. It\u2019s this testing data from which we draw our current data for some individual components in vapes. This means that animal testing may have been conducted as long as 10 years ago and this is where we take data from, rather than commission current and continuous animal testing. Some vegans may not consider this to be within their values, and others might be satisfied that they can vape guilt-free as the testing is historical. As the Vegan Society states, it would perhaps be up to each vegan to establish if these criteria allow them to \u201cexclude-as far as possible and practicable\u201d any exploitation of animals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Veganism, Vaping and Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The NHS confirms<\/a> that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking. Totally Wicked works in partnership with the NHS and smoking cessation organisations to help smokers stop their unhealthy habit, and to swap from smoking cigarettes to vaping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vegan Society states: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe live in a non-vegan world, and you can do more to help change things for the better if you are in good health.\u201d3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, if you’re vegan and a smoker, the Vegan Society\u2019s stance on prioritising health (alongside discovering what animal ingredients could be in cigarettes) could help you make the switch to vaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
