Reducing nicotine addiction by switching to vaping: it's an effective strategy

Many studies, over the years, have proven againstuse of electronic cigarettes including smoking cessation tool, as they looked at e-cigs as a device with which to start vaping (even by minors). Yet, there are many scientists who have refuted these theories with data in hand that show strong evidence reduction in the habit of smoking recorded since the vaping.

In fact, tobacco and electronic cigarettes immediately entered into competition with each other, as smokers who started vaping gradually decreased their consumption of combustion cigarettes, until they completely abandoned them.

1. Vaping: an ally to stop smoking

Vaping, therefore, was not born as a method to push non-smokers, young and old, to start smoking but, rather, it has proven to be a dissuader. Who started with i vaping devices, did not switch to traditional cigarettes, also because theabsence of nicotine which characterizes many vaping liquids does not favor the spread of the smoking habit.

Nicotine, in fact, remains the main cause of the smoking habit, since this molecule present in tobacco is the one that activates the dopamine, the molecule that amplifies the sensation of pleasure. Furthermore, nicotine is able to increase the secretion of neurotransmitters that are activated to regulate mood and behavior.

La addiction to tobacco is, therefore, kept at bay by the fact that in e-cigarettes, even in efbar electronic cigarettes, it is possible to adjust the amount of nicotine to be inserted, for a maximum of 20mg for each ml of liquid.

It is clear that the best way to preserve one's health and, in general, public health, is abstinence from nicotine, with the consequent reduction of the damage it causes to the body. THE alternative products to traditional smoking, such as electronic cigarettes and products based on heated tobacco it seems that they do, in fact, have consequences sanitary decidedly less impactful than tobacco cigarettes.

But since it entered the market, the electronic cigarette has proven to be a valid tool for controlling the spread of tobacco and the habit of smoking, therefore it should be seen as an opportunity to limit the harm of smoking. As already happens in Japan, for example, a country where smoking is a deeply rooted habit, and where in recent years the number of smokers has decreased drastically thanks to the introduction of alternative products to smoking.
