A Beginner’s Guide To Using Vaping To Wean Yourself Off Smoking

As countries around the world continue their fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s arguably never been a better time in living memory to quit tobacco-based cigarettes.

This is especially so as recent research by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that smokers could be at greater risk than non-smokers of developing grave symptoms of COVID-19. Indeed, the WHO has reminded smokers that the deterioration the habit causes to lung function could have a knock-on effect on the rest of the body in its battle against illness.

But what could possibly help you to quit smoking for good? Well, vaping could be one solution, providing a ‘bridge’ to ditching the habit that could help to make the transition feel much gentler.

Where to start on your smoking-quitting journey

The addictive nature of tobacco is attributable to the plant’s nicotine content. The nicotine chemical in tobacco is absorbed as quickly as the latter is smoked, fostering a strong addiction. For this reason, you should aim to relinquish nicotine’s hold on you only gradually.

Once you’ve got a vaping device in your possession, you might therefore choose a high-nicotine product with which to start vaping. Your long-term aim should be to slowly transition down the rung of nicotine strengths, helping to ease yourself into a tobacco-free life.

This is why, here at £1 Vape, we allow people to shop for tobacco e-liquids of varying nicotine strengths. We urge you to read the product description carefully before you settle on a particular e-liquid.

When should you switch to a lower-strength e-liquid?

The short answer to this is, once your body has adapted itself to the strength you habitually use. That will only be a matter of time, but you should avoid adhering to hard-and-fast rules like “change down a level after a month”. Attempting that leap before you are personally ready could too easily agitate you.

The objective here is to make incremental changes until you feel ready to go for long stretches of time without the tobacco upon which you used to heavily rely. Don't worry if those “long stretches” remain, say, just two hours at a time. It’s a journey, not a race.

Daunting though the task might initially sound, you could eventually find yourself primed to entirely free yourself from your dependence on tobacco.

We therefore urge you to peruse our online store here at £1 Vape, where your key to a zero-tobacco life could be waiting for you when you shop for tobacco e-liquids from our extensive range. And for an extra sweetener, don’t forget that we also deliver for free when you spend more than £20!
