Are there any alternatives to vaping?
Vaping is now recognized as an efficient anti-smoking aid. According to the recent data in the UK, it has between 50,000 to 70,000 smokers quit cigarettes in 2017 alone. Public Health England also stands by the research results that state that vaping is 95% less harmful to one’s health than smoking.
However, we acknowledge that vaping may not be for everyone. And for those who have not taken a liking to flavorful clouds, there are other aids in quitting the habit.
Tobacco heating devices
IQOS is probably the most popular tobacco heating system. Heat-not-burn products are different from e-cigarettes because they still use actual tobacco and not flavored e-liquid that is used in e-cigarettes and, in most countries, they are still regulated in the same way as traditional cigarettes. According to the manufacturers, heating and not burning tobacco makes the process safer and significantly reduces the associated health risks.
CBD Oils
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the chemical compounds of the cannabis plant. But, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it is not psychoactive. You can vape CBD containing e-liquids (if you want to stop consuming nicotine, for instance) or take CBD in tinctures. The chemical is known to have a calming and relaxing effect and can be helpful in battling cigarette cravings. The researchers at the University College London have published a paper in the “Addictive Behaviors” journal, which states that the non-psychoactive chemical in cannabis (aka CBD oil), could potentially reduce the number of cigarettes consumed by smokers who wanted to quit.
Nicotine replacement therapy
For those who find it very difficult to give up nicotine, nicotine replacement therapy may be a viable option. In this case, you will be prescribed a special medication to help manage nicotine withdrawal symptoms. These medications will typically contain small amounts of nicotine but none of the other dangerous chemicals emitted when smoking. The small amount of nicotine helps is said to help battle cravings for nicotine and reduce the urge to smoke.
Have you tried any other smoke quitting aids? Which ones have proved the most effective?
