Breaking Free: What to Expect When Switching from Cigarettes to Vaping
For many, smoking isn’t just a habit—it’s a part of their regime, a coping mechanism, a regular activity, and sometimes, a comfort. If you’ve ever tried to quit smoking, you know how tough it can be. The familiar sensation of lighting up, the pull of nicotine cravings, and the struggle to break away from something that’s been a part of your life for years can feel overwhelming. But deep down, you also know that every cigarette takes its toll and does more harm than good. And now, you’re here, looking for a way out - which is commendable!
That’s why Stoptober matters. Stoptober, the UK’s annual national stop-smoking campaign, has helped over 2 million people quit smoking since it began. Every October, millions of people just like you commit to going 28 days without cigarettes, supported by a community that understands the challenges of quitting. Statistics show that if you make it through those 28 days, you’re five times more likely to quit for good.
This guide will walk you through what to expect as you make the switch from cigarettes to vaping. How can you effectively navigate your Stoptober journey? And most importantly, how can Tidal Vape support you every step of the way?
Why Stoptober is the Perfect Time to Quit?
Stoptober is designed to guide you through the toughest part of quitting—those first 28 days—when your chances of stopping for good are dramatically increased. And once you have taken the plunge and completed the 28 challenging days, there shall be no looking back!
If you’ve been thinking about quitting or have struggled with going cold turkey, now is the perfect time to reflect on your health and make a lasting change. By switching to vaping, you're taking a huge step towards improving your health. Public Health England has reported that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking, making it a safer option for nicotine consumption.
How Vaping Can Ease Your Transition from Smoking?
One of the hardest parts of quitting smoking is breaking the ritualistic aspect of it—holding the cigarette, the hand-to-mouth motion, and the sensation of inhaling. That’s where vaping can help. Vaping maintains the familiar hand-to-mouth action and provides nicotine in a way that feels similar to smoking, helping to curb your cravings.
Here’s how vaping can make the transition smoother:
- Familiarity: The action of vaping mimics smoking, making the switch feel more natural.
- Flavour variety: A wide range of e-liquid flavours can make vaping more enjoyable and help you distance yourself from the taste and smell of tobacco.
- Nicotine control: You can gradually reduce the nicotine levels in your e-liquid over time, eventually working towards a nicotine-free lifestyle if you choose.
Within 24 hours of quitting smoking, your body begins to clear out toxic chemicals. By 72 hours, your lung function will start to improve, and over time, your risk of smoking-related diseases like heart disease and lung cancer significantly decreases. Many vapers report an improved sense of taste and smell, as well as feeling more energised and physically fit—compelling reasons to make the switch.
