At first glance, the question might sound silly—but it's actually quite common. When you're regularly vaping flavours like sweet lemon pie or strawberry milkshake, it's natural to wonder: could this habit cause weight gain?
Do Vape Liquids Contribute to Weight Gain?
Simply put, vaping doesn't make you gain weight. The e-liquid contains vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG), which each have around 4 calories per gram—but only if consumed directly, which, of course, is not how vaping works (and definitely not recommended).
Just to be absolutely clear: never drink e-liquid.
If you've recently started vaping and are concerned about weight changes, relax. The more important win is that you've quit smoking—and that's a huge step toward better health.
Why Am I Suddenly Hungrier After Switching to Vaping?
New vapers may question themselves as to why they feel hungry.
Most people who smoke cigarettes enjoy the fact they have a side effect as an appetite suppressant that may facilitate losing weight. Tobacco smoking will raise your blood pressure, increase your heart rate and can detrimentally affect insulin levels.
Well, we can also answer that for you too.
Those who have opted to vaping to quit smoking may find themselves craving a snack. However, this isn't due to vaping. This is due to the fact that smoking can suppress your appetite and therefore you may find yourself feeling hungry when trying to quit.
Another reason you may be feeling a bit peckish is because food tastes better after giving up smoking. If you're like any normal human being, you will inevitably want more of the foods that tickle your taste buds.
In Summary
Vaping doesn't directly lead to weight gain. If you're noticing changes in appetite, it's likely your body is adjusting to life without cigarettes—something worth celebrating.
