    Quitting smoking is a difficult process and many people have turned to vaping (electronic cigarettes) as an alternative. However, whether using vaping to quit smoking is the right choice or not is still a controversial topic.

    Many people mistakenly believe that vaping is less harmful than traditional cigarettes. However, this is not entirely true. Although the vapor from a vape may contain fewer harmful chemicals than cigarette smoke, it still poses many health risks. Most e-liquids in vapes contain nicotine - the main addictive substance in cigarettes. Using a vape just replaces another form of nicotine, not helping you get rid of your addiction. In fact, some studies have shown that the amount of nicotine in vape products may be higher or not than stated on the packaging, making users more dependent. Vape vapor contains ultrafine particles, flavoring agents (like diacetyl), and heavy metals (lead, nickel, tin), which can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause serious respiratory diseases like bronchitis, COPD, Geometry Dash and even irreversible lung damage.
