I vape. I am not ashamed to say so. I know that some people think it's bad, but I firmly believe that it is better than the alternative. There are numerous occasions that I have attempted to persuade someone to switch over. After all, it has been proven as an effective way to stop smoking cigarettes. That being said, here are the main six reasons as to why I do it.
1. There is no nicotine.
Yes there are juices that have nicotine in them, but mine does not. It's not something I want in my body, so I don't put it there. It is an option for those who need it, but the option of having none is always there.
2. Its cheaper.
This is only if you do so in moderation. It can be expensive if you buy the newest mods or all the cool juices. With the mod I use, a tank of juice will last me about a week. A bottle of my favorite juice is equivalent to about 5 tanks and costs about 18 dollars. That's not bad at all.
3. Its not addictive like cigarettes.
I am not dependent on my vape. I do not need it to function normally. This is one of my favorite things about it. I can put it down and stop at any time, and sometimes I go weeks without using it.
4. I can use it to help persuade people I love to stop smoking.
They try it all the time, and decide to get their own. It is the perfect thing for slowly lowering your nicotine dependency. If it is needed, you can start with a juice at any nicotine level, and work your way down.
5. It tastes good.
The flavors of good juices are amazing. My favorite right now tastes like pixie sticks. Who wouldn't love the taste of a candy without the calories? There are even some that have tobacco flavors, for the people who prefer that. The possibilities are endless.
6. It's healthier.
There are some terrible chemicals in cigarettes. They do terrible things to your lungs, and it is not a good healthy thing to do to your body. I know that there are chemicals in the vape juice that could possibly do harm in the long run, but the fumes off of the cleaning solution I use in my house is probably more of a risk to my health. From what I have been told, it won't make you lose your breath when exercising like smoking cigarettes will.
Some people will never try it because they think it looks stupid, but if I am keeping myself from doing a bad thing I don't care how other people think I look. I recommend this as an option to anyone who smokes and wants to quit, or people like me who just want to try it. There is no harm done in trying to better yourself.
