Vaping
Health implications of vaping
Vaping is not risk free. People who do not already smoke should not start to vape. Vaping is an option for smokers who want to quit. Anyone who is not trying to quit smoking should not take up vaping. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable illness and premature death in England and quitting smoking is one of the best things a smoker will ever do for their health.
Vapes can be effective tools for adult smokers who are seeking to quit traditional tobacco. Numerous studies have shown that vaping can help individuals reduce or eliminate their dependence on cigarettes. While vaping is often perceived as a safer alternative to traditional smoking, it is essential to recognise potential health risks.
If you smoke, switching completely from cigarettes to vaping can reduce the health risks associated with smoking, especially when combined with stop smoking support. If you do not smoke, and / or are under 18, you should not vape.
