For as long as I can remember, smoking has been looked upon as a dangerous habit that is sure to bring on many diseases and turn your lungs blacks due to the carcinogens that you are breathing in. In fact the most poignant example of the harm that smoking causes is the television commercial put out by the Center for Disease Control which depicts what looks like an older ex-smoker named Terrie Hall going through her morning routine. She puts in her dentures, puts on her wig, and then a put in her hands free device. Now, we are not talking about Bluetooth, we are talking about a device that is placed onto a hole in her throat that allows her to speak with an electronic sounding voice. As a spokesperson for quitting smoking, it is a powerful and long lasting images of the damage that cigarettes have done to her. She lost her teeth, she lost her hair, and her larynx which is essentially her voice box.
In addition to this, the FDA has made cigarette manufacturers place a warning label on all packages that states that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and may complicate pregnancy. Packaging in other countries on cigarette packs are even more expressive. Black lungs, lost teeth, blindness, and death are some of the gruesome images that are shown on a pack of smokes letting the buyer know that these things may be in store for you if you continue smoking.
So, what is a girl to do if they are already smoking? Well, one thing that a woman can do is to take a look at some smoking cessation tools like vape devices. These devices are paired with e-juice which is a flavored mixture of nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine, and flavorings. The reason why these devices are known to help with smoking cessation is that you can meter the amount of nicotine that is delivered. Nicotine is a highly addictive compound which makes cigarettes really hard to quit. While a cigarette can have 8 to 20 mg of nicotine, you can buy vape juice that is typically 6 mg for an entire bottle but can range all the way down to 0 mg of nicotine.
For people who try to stop smoking, they can use the vape to ratchet down the amount of nicotine. A person could start vaping 12 mg nicotine e-juice and then move down to 6 mg and then to 3 mg and finally to 0 mg. There are countless stories of people who have weened themselves off of nicotine this way or at the very least brought down the usage of this addictive chemical to a controllable minimum. Now, don’t get this type of smoking cessation device mixed up with the usage of a Juul e cigarette. These e cigarette devices utilize pods which you insert into the device and vape the liquid. In each one of the small pods, there is nearly 60 mg of nicotine. So, instead of trying to ratchet down the amount of nicotine consumption, you are in essence vaping even more nicotine.
In short, if you don’t smoke, you should not pick up vaping. But if you are trying to quit smoking, look into vaping as a way to ween yourself off of nicotine. Just focus on the e-liquids where you can control the amount of nicotine you consume.
