With the new year in full swing many people have made quitting smoking their number 1 resolution this year. With that in mind, we've made a simple guide to understand a few of the many different products that are out there which will assist you in your smoke-free journey (yes there's more than just vapes!).
Before we get started we need to have a quick disclaimer:
Disclaimer: While all of these products are MUCH better for you than cigarettes, they aren't 100% risk-free. Nicotine is an addictive chemical so we recommend you carry out proper research or consult your local GP for advice.
With that out of the way, let's get started!
Vaping
Vaping. The most popular way to quit smoking. A small battery rapidly heats a small coil using electricity to vaporise a nicotine liquid to produce water vapour. This vapour is then inhaled for a near cigarette-like feeling and delivery. Used by millions across the country for their ease of use, variety and affordability. You can view all of our vaping products here.
Heated tobacco
Getting a little more niche now. Heated tobacco involves a small stick made with real tobacco and a small amount of flavourless e-liquid. This stick is then heated to a controlled temperature using a special device to vaporise the tobacco instead of burning it. This gives a near authentic tobacco taste and feel but with far lower risks in comparison to combustion. These are better suited for smokers who've tried to quit before using vapes and couldn't get along with them, or smokers who are well-adjusted to cigarettes. You can view our heated tobacco products here.
Nicotine Pouches
The new kid on the block! Nicotine pouches (not to be confused with snus) are small "pillow" like pouches filled with a nicotine solution. This is then placed between your gum and the inside of your cheek for a fast and smokeless nicotine delivery for up to 45 minutes. These are dominant in countries like Sweden and the U.S.A and have gained popularity in the UK in recent years. We'd recommend these if you travel often or if you want/need to quit smoking without inhaling anything. You can find all of our nicotine pouches here.
So now you know a little more about the smoke-free industry! If you need further help you can pop into your local vape shop, speak to your GP or call us for advice. We wish you the very best with your journey to a smoke-free life!
