A lot, if not most, of people who take an interest in vaping or electronic smoking are smokers. You're probably even one of them, looking for a better alternative to what you know is a mentally, physically and socially destructive habit.

 

Below are the advantages of electronic cigarettes over your traditional smoke:

 

Odorless

 

Smoker or nonsmoker, you know just how horrible the smell of cigarettes is. This is because of the burning tar and all those chemicals - not to mention the tobacco itself. Worse, there are things in these substances that make them stick to your walls, furniture, and even your clothing and your hair. This problem simply ceases to exist when you vape.

 

Cheaper

 

As a smoker, you surely know how expensive your smokes have become these days. This is generally because of inflation or the rising prices, both of tobacco production and distribution, and of course, taxes. With e cigarette, there are no such issues. A starter kit won't be very cheap, but your long-term vaping costs will only be about half of what you would spend on cigarettes. Add to that the fact that e-cigarettes aren't taxed and that their costs are expected to go even lower as the technology becomes more and more mainstream.

 

Safer

 

Because you're literally burning tobacco - even using an open flame to light it - your typical cigarettes are technically a fire hazard. They are even the top cause of fire-related cases in the U.S. and seven other countries. Around ten percent of all deaths related to fire all began with lit cigarettes. Vaping can be done with neither an open flame or a hot cherry.

 

More Socially Acceptable

 

Through the years, smoking has earned itself a rather nasty reputation for a whole lot of reasons, from the smell to the high costs to the ill effects. This is why people are not allowed to smoke in different places and situations. Vapers, however, don't have to deal with such restrictions. As mentioned, there are a handful of places where e-cigarettes are not allowed, but in most cases, they are widely accepted.

 

Healthier

 

Lastly and most importantly, e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. While we can't say vaping is, by itself, a healthy practice, it is most definitely healthier by comparison to smoking.  We don't even have to mention it. The studies proving the harmful effects of smoking to the body come in tons. Cigarettes have been found to cause heart attack, stroke, pneumonia, osteoporosis, various types of cancer, and many more. Again, e-cigarettes are not healthy on their own, but at least, they don't have a long list of carcinogens that cigarettes do. 

 

It's no wonder the number of vapers is increasing nowadays. The reason is clear: e-cigarettes allow them to enjoy the sensation of smoking but without the negative effects.
