Vaping has become very popular in the last couple of years. One of the reasons for its success is because people replaced their traditional cigarettes with modern vape devices such as vape pens, vape mods and Suorin Air vaporizer pods. Additionally, with the growing popularity of CBD and its legalization in most countries, many are encouraged to enjoy its benefits through vaping CBD oil.

Regardless of the reason, vaping is now a cool thing to do, so you can see many people vaping in coffee bars or in the park. While vaping CBD oil might not be smart at open spaces, you can vape different flavours without any restrictions, if not stated differently by the law. If you ever wondered why vaping is so popular these days, here are the 7 most common reasons why people turn to vaping.

1.   To Quit Smoking

Most of the people who start vaping do that in order to give up smoking. Some of them want to stop smoking for good, hence stop intoxicating themselves with nicotine for good. With vaping, you can control the levels of nicotine intake and gradually lower its concentration to eventually come to a point of being nicotine-free. Others just wanted to find a healthier alternative to cigarettes.

In fact, taking up vaping to replace smoking makes a lot of sense. Not only because it’s considered as a healthier alternative, but also because it doesn’t bother the so-called passive smokers, in terms of smell and smoke. That’s why vaping is preferred over smoking in public places. As a result, the UK authorities noticed that the number of smokers has decreased whereas the number of vapers has increased according to their annual survey.

2.   It’s Safer than Traditional Cigarettes

Not all people start vaping to quit smoking. Some of them start vaping because they have tried smoking cigarettes and like the sensation. However, if one does care to stay healthy, it should avoid traditional smokes that contain carcinogenic substances. Vapes, on the other hand, don’t contain tar or similar harmful substances.

Taking that into consideration, the health risk of vapes (e-cigarettes) is similar to those of smokeless tobacco. Namely, they have a very low mortality rate compared to traditional cigarettes. And, if you are vaping a nicotine-free e-juice, just for the sensation and the habit, it’s even safer. Due to the advantages of vaping over smoking, the NHS in the UK promotes the use of e-cigarettes to stop smoking.

3.   Due to Medical Reasons

Some of the vapers start vaping due to medical reasons, such as post-chemotherapy discomfort, chronic migraines, constant joint pain, etc. Since all of these can be really stressful and painful, they need to find a way to relieve pain and fatigue. This especially refers to the states in the US and the countries around the world where medicinal marijuana is legal. This marijuana is considered better than using morphine or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

4.   To Save Money

The price of tobacco increased a lot in recent years making a pack of traditional cigarettes quite expensive. While vaping can also be expensive, it doesn’t have to. Namely, there is a wide variety of vape devices and e-juices from affordable to exclusive prices. You can choose the ones that fit within your budget. In that way, even if you vape as much as you smoke, you won’t spend as much money as you are on cigarettes.

5.   To Socialize

Just like when students start smoking for the sake of being accepted by the cool guys who smoke, now they start vaping to be accepted by those who vape. Although vaping to look cool isn’t justified, it’s understandable. The need to fit in and be accepted by society is something we can’t control. That’s why we constantly try to find ways to fit within a group. With the increasing number of vapers, it’s no wonder their friends start vaping too. It’s easier to socialize with people with whom you have something in common.

6.   The E-juice Variety

A lot of people start vaping because they want to try a wide range of e-juice flavours. Having in mind that there are numerous flavours that can suit everyone’s preferences, it’s understandable why people are curious to try them. You can choose from flavours such as menthol, cherry cola, doughnut, cookies, cheesecake, fruity, yogurt, sandwich, and other flavours. There is something for everyone, indeed.

7.   To Relax

Having in mind that we live a stressful life, it’s understandable why people try new ways to relax and unwind after a long day. That’s why they start practicing yoga, read books, or vape. Yes, vaping can also help relax, especially if you take an e-juice with green or black tea flavor. It’s because the process of vaping, the inhale and exhale, induces the “chill feel”.

From all that was discussed, vaping is beneficial to people in many ways. Regardless if you use it to quit smoking, to blend in, or to relax, vaping is always a better choice than smoking. So, it’s no wonder that more and more people turn to vaping to replace cigarettes, start vaping instead of smoking, or just do it for fun.
