OPTING FOR ALTERNATIVES TO HELP YOU QUIT SMOKING

There are a lot of safe and effective alternatives to smoking traditional cigarettes.  Generally, these are referred to as Nicotine Replacement Therapies or NRTs.  Nicotine gum and nicotine patches are 2 NRTs that have been around for a couple of decades.  The concept of an NRT is that it helps to replace your nicotine craving with a cleaner version compared to a normal cigarette.

Nicotine gum and nicotine patches can be used individually or together to help fight the cravings throughout the day.  Patches are worn on your skin, usually on your upper arm or on your thigh.  Nicotine gum is chewed like a normal gum. 
 
A new alternative to smoking cigarettes that has become incredibly popular is the e-cigarette.  Also known as an electronic cigarette, a vape or a cigalike, e-cigs produce a realistic smoking sensation by heating up a flavoured and nicotine liquid to create a vapour which you inhale.  E-Cigarettes have been shown to be up to 95% less harmful than traditional cigarettes as they only have 4 ingredients compared to the 4,000 chemicals and 50 known carcinogens that you will find in a cigarette.

Recent studies have actually shown that e-cigarettes are almost twice as effective than other types of NRTs to help you to succeed in quitting smoking!
No matter which alternative you choose - nicotine gum, nicotine patches or a nicotine e-cigarette, your chances of successfully quitting smoking using one of these NRTs will dramatically improve.

SWITCHING TO E-CIGARETTE TO HELP YOU QUIT SMOKING

E-Cigarettes are truly an engineering marvel.  They are relatively easy to use, produce a realistic smoking sensation and deliver the nicotine you crave - but without all of the extra chemicals found in a cigarette.

E-Cigs and Vapes work using a lithium-ion battery which heats up a small element (or coil) to heat up and vapourize a liquid that contains nicotine and flavours.  When you draw on a small cigalike, the battery automatically starts the vapourizing process and you can enjoy the same satisfaction immediately.  
Some of the many benefits of using an e-cigarette to help you quit smoking are:

Up to 95% less harmful than smoking a traditional cigarette - according to Public Health England.

They remove most of the 4,000 chemicals and 50 known carcinogens you would normally consume with cigarettes.

E-Cigarettes can be up to 80% cheaper than normal cigarettes

Finding a suitable e-cigarette starter kit doesn’t have to be complicated.  There are thousands of different types of vape and e-cig kits to choose from, but starting with a small and easy to use e-cigarette starter kit should be your 1st step.

E-Cigarette or cigalike starter kits come with a rechargeable battery, a USB charging device and may have a couple of pre-filled e-cigarette cartridges to get you started.  And you can pick one up from SMOKO for as little as £10 - cheaper than your next pack of cigarettes.

If you are a pack-a-day smoker, using an e-cigarette will cost you between £1.60 to £2.00 a day compared to spending £10.50 for a pack of cigarettes.  So making the switch can improve your health as well as save you a fortune.
