Even my own friends and family are among those repeating badly researched news snippets, convinced these articles are telling them the truth. To be fair, if it wasn\u2019t my job to be privy to extensive research on the topic, I could well be among those believing that vaping is dangerous. It\u2019s therefore understandable that so many people find it hard to believe that vaping is safer than smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Correcting Misinformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), four in ten people in Great Britain believe that vaping is as harmful or even more harmful than smoking<a id=\"_ednref2\" href=\"#_edn2\">[ii]<\/a>. Perhaps surprisingly, according to our recent customer survey, almost 6% of customers who responded don\u2019t believe vaping is safer than smoking.<a id=\"_ednref3\" href=\"#_edn3\">[iii]<\/a> I\u2019m surprised that customers who believe vaping to be on par with smoking would still choose to vape despite their concerns! I sincerely hope I can allay these concerns in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my role at Totally Wicked, I\u2019ve spent years surrounded by experts in all aspects of vaping. In addition, I am nothing but thorough in my own research. Within this article, I\u2019ll lay out the actual facts as to why vaping is safer than smoking. I\u2019ll also address the question of, \u201cAre vapes safe?\u201d, and what current research reveals in order to answer this question. It\u2019s my hope that this researched, credible information will alleviate any concerns you have about ditching that unhealthy smoking habit by switching to vaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"button-clear wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk\/vaped\/scary-vaping-facts-the-truth-revealed\/\"><strong>You May Also Like: Scary Vaping &#8220;Facts&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Health Risks of Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The stats regarding health issues caused by smoking are extremely concerning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smoking causes 70% of cases of lung cancer in the UK<a href=\"#_edn4\" id=\"_ednref4\">[iv]<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7 million people die each year across the globe due to direct tobacco use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1.2 million non-smokers die each year globally from exposure to second-hand smoke<a href=\"#_edn5\" id=\"_ednref5\">[v]<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tobacco kills up to half its users who don\u2019t quit<a href=\"#_edn6\" id=\"_ednref6\">[vi]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, vaping is significantly safer than smoking, and Cancer Research UK emphasises that, <strong>\u201cThere is no good evidence that vaping causes cancer\u201d<\/strong>.

After all, I\u2019m employed by a vaping company and am a vaper myself and so it could be said that I\u2019m biased. Yet, when an institution as credible and laudable as the NHS is telling you that vaping is safer than smoking, surely, it\u2019s time to accept the truth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why vaping is safer than smoking according to the NHS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The NHS points out that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cE-cigarettes do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful elements in tobacco smoke<a href=\"#_edn8\" id=\"_ednref8\"><strong>[viii]<\/strong><\/a>\u2026Nicotine vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking. It&#8217;s also one of the most effective tools for quitting smoking.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn9\" id=\"_ednref9\"><strong>[ix]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>These statements could, and should, be enough to reassure you that vaping is a safer alternative to smoking and is an effective quit smoking tool. But, if you need further assurances from the NHS, it also states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re roughly twice as likely to quit smoking if you use a nicotine vape compared with other nicotine replacement products, like patches or gum\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, for the NHS to publicise and promote the efficacy of vapes compared with other nicotine replacement products (NRPs) is quite something. Why? Because the topic of vapes is extremely controversial, whereas nicotine patches and gum aren\u2019t met with such hostility.&nbsp; In fact, although you can\u2019t get vapes on prescription in the way you can be prescribed some other quit smoking aids, many adult smokers can still get vapes for free via your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/better-health\/quit-smoking\/find-your-local-stop-smoking-service\/\">local stop smoking services<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about nicotine in vapes and e-liquids?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people focus on the inclusion of nicotine in vapes. Although nicotine is an addictive substance, it\u2019s the thousands of other chemicals produced from cigarettes that tend to cause health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp; NHS inform site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201c Nicotine is a very addictive substance, but it isn\u2019t harmful. It\u2019s the other ingredients and chemicals like carbon monoxide and tar in tobacco that\u2019ll cause serious damage to your health.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn10\" id=\"_ednref10\"><strong>[x]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s worth bearing in mind that nicotine replacement therapy products have been around much longer than vapes. Such treatments which, as the name suggests, contain nicotine, yet have not faced as much vitriol as vapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"button-clear wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk\/e-liquids\/guides\/whats-in-your-e-liquid\"><strong>You May Also Like: What&#8217;s in Your E-liquid?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The UK Government Supports Vaping as a Quit Smoking Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Included in the launch of the Government\u2019s Smoke-Free England by 2030<a href=\"#_edn11\" id=\"_ednref11\">[xi]<\/a> ambitions, is the Swap to Stop campaign.

Would they do so if research didn\u2019t show how effective vaping is and if it wasn\u2019t a much safer alternative to smoking?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research Into the Safety of Vaping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve undoubtedly heard it said that we don\u2019t know enough about vaping to be fully aware of its effects which is why you are probably asking, is vaping safer than smoking?. It\u2019s also been said that there isn\u2019t yet enough research to definitively state that vaping is safe. This view is based on the fact that when compared with smoking, vaping is relatively new. However, this doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t any research available at all. In fact, multiple studies have been conducted worldwide and research is still ongoing. So, what does this research reveal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vaping research from Cancer Research UK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The charity, Cancer Research UK, has many interesting things to say about research into the effects of vaping<a href=\"#_edn13\" id=\"_ednref13\">[xiii]<\/a>. They focus in particular on reasons for some of the more negative publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#f2f2f2\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Key points include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The concentrations of e-cig vapour used in tests are often much higher than the vapour people would be realistically exposed to. Therefore, the results are not completely accurate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reports can often be misleading. For example, in 2019 in the US there was an outbreak of EVALI, an illness attributed to vaping. It transpired the illness was caused by illegal cannabis vapes containing contaminants not found in legal vapes, and never in nicotine vapes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Although results are not conclusive on the topic of whether or not vapes are safe for very long term use, there is plenty of research available to analyse on short and medium term use. What are the real chances that something very much safer than smoking in the medium term would turn out to be very much different in the long term?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After much analysis of available research, Cancer research joins the NHS, and the UK Government in recommending that people who smoke should consider using vapes as a way to quit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The British Heart Foundation\u2019s research on vaping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The British Heart Foundation (BHF) funded a study conducted by the University of Dundee in 2019<a href=\"#_edn14\" id=\"_ednref14\">[xiv]<\/a>. This study suggests that<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cVaping may be less harmful to your blood vessels that smoking cigarettes\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The BHF goes on to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWithin just one month of switching tobacco for electronic cigarettes, measures of blood vessel health, including&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;and stiffness of their arteries, had started to improve.&nbsp;\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Foundation caveats these findings by saying what we already know, that vaping hasn\u2019t been around long enough to declare them completely safe. They also state that e-cigarettes shouldn\u2019t be used by adults who haven\u2019t previously smoked \u2013 a statement with which we completely agree. Yet, while taking these observations into account, the fact that this study shows such a marked improvement in blood vessel health is something that shouldn\u2019t be ignored. Furthermore, the BHF agrees that vaping is a \u201cuseful tool to help people stop smoking completely\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Sum it All Up\u2026.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Current research leaves no doubt that the use of legally produced vapes is safer than smoking traditional tobacco products. And it isn\u2019t just the one source that declares this to be true. As this article has shown, multiple reputable institutions and organisations promote the use of vapes as a safer alternative to cigarettes. So, no need to just take my word for it (I promise I won\u2019t be offended that you don\u2019t!) when there\u2019s plenty of research available that supports the statement, vaping is safer than smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" id=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> https:\/\/digital.nhs.uk\/data-and-information\/publications\/statistical\/statistics-on-public-health\/2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref2\" id=\"_edn2\">[ii]<\/a> https:\/\/ash.org.uk\/media-centre\/news\/press-releases\/four-in-ten-smokers-wrongly-believe-that-vaping-is-as-or-more-harmful-as-smoking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref3\" id=\"_edn3\">[iii]<\/a> Survey of 223 respondents conducted in 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref4\" id=\"_edn4\">[iv]<\/a> https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/common-health-questions\/lifestyle\/what-are-the-health-risks-of-smoking\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref5\" id=\"_edn5\">[v]<\/a> https:\/\/ash.org.uk\/resources\/view\/facts-at-a-glance#:~:text=Tobacco%20kills%20up%20to%20half,exposed%20to%20second%2Dhand%20smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref6\" id=\"_edn6\">[vi]<\/a> https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/tobacco<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref7\" id=\"_edn7\">[vii]<\/a> https:\/\/news.cancerresearchuk.org\/2021\/04\/26\/e-cigarettes-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref8\" id=\"_edn8\">[viii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/quit-smoking\/using-e-cigarettes-to-stop-smoking\/#:~:text=E%2Dcigarettes%20do%20not%20produce,at%20a%20much%20lower%20level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_edn9\" href=\"#_ednref9\">[ix]<\/a>https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/better-health\/quit-smoking\/vaping-to-quit-smoking\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref10\" id=\"_edn10\">[x]<\/a> https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/healthy-living\/stopping-smoking\/when-you-stop\/myths-around-stopping-smoking\/#:~:text=Myth%3A%20&#8217;Nicotine%20is%20harmful&#8217;,help%20you%20to%20stop%20smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref11\" id=\"_edn11\">[xi]<\/a> https:\/\/commonslibrary.parliament.uk\/research-briefings\/cbp-9655\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref12\" id=\"_edn12\">[xii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/the-khan-review-making-smoking-obsolete\/making-smoking-obsolete-summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref13\" id=\"_edn13\">[xiii]<\/a> https:\/\/news.cancerresearchuk.org\/2021\/04\/26\/e-cigarettes-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref14\" id=\"_edn14\">[xiv]<\/a> https:\/\/www.bhf.org.uk\/informationsupport\/heart-matters-magazine\/news\/e-cigarettes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Vaping Better than Smoking?
