So you’ve been toying with the idea for a while now, or you’ve tried, and it didn’t work out the first time round - let’s quit smoking for good this time! Quitting smoking is a big decision and the effects are life changing, for the better. The decision to quit is very personal and can also be engulfed by lots of mixed emotions and plenty of questions. We help you on your Stoptober journey by sharing how switching to vaping can be the best way to quit completely.
Why Switch From Smoking to Vaping?
You’ve seen lots of people vaping and probably heard lots of mixed reviews about it too! The long and short of it is that vaping is 95% healthier than smoking, according to Public Health England (PHE). Likewise, studies have found that quitting cold turkey is not effective for quitting smoking and that out of all nicotine replacement options, vaping is by far the most effective choice. Out of 100 people trying to quit smoking cold turkey, only about three will stay smoke-free for longer than six months. That’s why switching to vaping is so useful for successfully quitting smoking. By replacing your nicotine intake for a tobacco-free alternative, like vaping, you can sate your cravings without ingesting the harmful chemicals in cigarettes. Our nzo starter kit is a great choice for new and experienced vapers alike.
Make The Switch This Stoptober
Now is as good a time as ever to take that first step to quitting the cigarettes, during Stoptober; a month-long stop smoking campaign that runs throughout October. The Stoptober campaign is essentially a 28-day smoke-free challenge; as the NHS states that if you can make 28 days smoke-free, you’re five times more likely to quit for good! Ready to stop smoking?
