Can Vaping Help You Quit Smoking Tobacco Cigarettes?
Vaping is one of the newest approaches for fighting nicotine addiction. An estimated 40 million adults in the US smoke tobacco cigarettes, increasing 
their risk of heart attack, stroke, and cancer, and cutting their lives by ten years on average. The pressure to quit has never been greater, with statistics on significant dangers to children and loved ones from secondhand smoke also adding fuel to the flames.
Vaping, or smoking electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes, is a relatively recent phenomenon, and one that has taken the world by storm with its seemingly magic solution to the raft of health problems associated with tobacco, offering an alternative that provides the nicotine without the other harmful substances contained in conventional cigarettes. But can it really help you to quit smoking?
The benefits of vaping
Simply put, vaping is one of the most efficient ways to give up smoking, with success rates higher than with nicotine gum, patches, or going ‘cold turkey.’ Millions of people have managed to cut their unhealthy tobacco cigarette habit by replacing it with e-cigarettes, which still satisfies nicotine cravings and cuts out the difficult withdrawal symptoms associated with many methods of quitting. This method allows you to satisfy the habit of having something in your hand, and inhaling smoke, at regular times through the day, a large factor in the habitual aspect of cigarette addiction.

The disadvantages of e-cigarettes
E-cigarettes are a relatively new invention and haven’t been subjected to the host of tests and research projects that traditional smoking has, but the consensus is that they are much less harmful than tobacco for your body. Due to this lack of clarity from governmental agencies, many corporations are banning e-cigarettes in situations like restaurants and bars, and on flights, making it harder to get a nicotine fix conveniently.
It’s clear, though, that pregnant women, children, and even those people who’ve never had a smoking addiction shouldn’t vape with e-liquids that contain nicotine, as this could form an addiction unnecessarily.
How to use vaping to quit
Start by taking a look around online or going to your local vaping shop, if you have one, to purchase an e-cigarette that suits you. There are hundreds of different models, but choosing a high-quality one that costs a bit more money will pay dividends in the long run, and be better for your health. Start with a nicotine strength that’s appropriate for the number of cigarettes you smoke a day, and over time, slowly reduce the strength of the e-liquid until you’re taking in no nicotine at all.
Once you reduced the intensity of vaping and quantity of e-cigarettes to 3-5 per day, you can easily quit with the help of the team of the Philadelphia Addiction Center.
