Vaping heats e-liquid into an aerosol instead of burning tobacco, producing ‘vapour’ instead of cigarette smoke. When you smoke, the combustion process leads to the formation of tar, carbon monoxide and other harmful chemicals. While vaping isn’t entirely risk free, it removes combustion from the process and results in much lower levels of toxic chemicals in E-Cigarette vapour compared with tobacco smoke.

Vaping allows adult smokers to get nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco, in a similar fashion to smoking tobacco, but with 95% of the harm associated with tobacco smoke removed. This contributes to more recent evidence that E-Cigarettes are more effective for quitting smoking than nicotine replacement products like nicotine patches and nicotine gum. Speak to your local stop smoking service for additional support when you quit smoking.

Making the switch to vaping can be seen as the start of your smoke free journey, with support and a range of device options available to help you progress from beginner to advanced vaping.

Disposable vape kits provide an easy and convenient option to start vaping, however they lead to huge amounts of waste as they are difficult to recycle. Evidence from studies shows the lithium batteries contained in disposable vapes are capable of being charged up to 700 times, but instead are being used only once. Additionally, vapes made in Britain are tightly regulated, where many disposable vapes on British shop shelves contained illegal levels of e-liquid. Be sure to buy from a specialist vape shop that you can trust.

SMOKO uses e-liquids made in the UK, held to high standards by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for the utmost safety for vaping. Unlike disposable vapes, our devices use rechargeable batteries to serve your needs for months.

While vaping devices can provide the addictive substance, nicotine, to satisfy cravings, there are other considerations to help you stop smoking.

Exercise is not only great for your health but will help keep you mentally strong in your journey to becoming smoke free.

Avoiding smoking triggers will go a long way to help you stop smoking. Try to avoid exposing yourself to tobacco smoke and spend time with friends that are non smokers.

As part of the 'Swap to Stop' campaign, you can get a free vaping starter kit to help you switch from cigarettes to vapes.

To be eligible for the NHS Swap to Stop Scheme, smokers must meet certain requirements. These include:

• Being a resident of England
• Being a smoker
• Being willing to quit smoking
• Being willing to use vaping as a method for quitting smoking
• Meeting certain health requirements, such as being pregnant or having a certain medical condition

Smokers who meet these requirements can apply for the scheme and receive a free vape starter kit. The kit includes a vape device, e-liquids, and other resources to help smokers quit smoking.

All vaping products provided in the kit comply with strict UK safety and quality standards, ensuring they are sourced from reputable suppliers and meet government regulations.

There are several types of vape devices available, including cigalikes, vape pens, pod kits, and more advanced sub ohm kits. Pod kits are lightweight, portable, and easy to use, making them ideal for those transitioning from traditional cigarettes. Sub ohm kits are designed for high-performance vaping, featuring tanks, coils, and mods that support sub ohm vaping for intense flavour and cloud production. These devices are especially popular among experienced vapers who seek larger clouds and a more powerful vaping experience.

Vaping styles include mouth-to-lung (MTL), direct-to-lung (DTL), and restricted direct-to-lung (RDTL) vaping. RDTL vaping is a great option for those who prefer a restricted direct-to-lung experience, offering a balance between MTL and DTL. Sub ohm vaping, often used with sub ohm kits, is favoured by experienced vapers for its ability to produce large clouds and deliver rich flavours, especially when using high VG e-liquids.

SMOKO Vape devices are designed for MTL style vaping - you can learn more on our page on how to vape properly.
