Is using 0mg nicotine better than smoking?
In studies, vaping (including vapes with 0mg nicotine) has been proven safer than smoking, but not entirely risk-free. Here are some comparisons worth noting:
Vaping is less harmful with reduced health risks:
Vaping does not involve the combustion of tobacco, which is a primary source of harmful toxins in cigarette smoke, including tar and carbon monoxide.
Smoking is associated with a multitude of severe health risks, including lung cancer, heart disease, respiratory issues, and more. It is a leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide.
Smoking also produces secondhand smoke that can harm not only the smoker but also those exposed to it, potentially leading to health problems in nonsmokers.
Zero nicotine vapes have no addictive nicotine:
Tobacco always delivers nicotine. Nicotine addiction, for most people, can be challenging to overcome.
Vaping offers more palatable flavour choices:
Nicotine-free vapes offer a wide range of flavour options, allowing users to customise the experience to their preferences.
Smoking provides no flavour options, as it involves burning tobacco, which has a characteristic tobacco flavour.
Smoking is more expensive
To purchase one disposable vape with an average price of £4 lasts the equivalent of 20 traditional cigarettes, which have an average retail price of £12.84 (at the time of writing).
Can you notice the lack of nicotine in a zero-nicotine disposable vape?
You may not experience the same buzz, throat hit, or head rush of a traditional nicotine hit from a cigarette or 20mg strength vape. However, the nicotine-free e-liquids within pre-filled disposable vapes are full of flavour and produce the same vapour delivery as in nicotine-containing disposables. A nicotine-free disposable vape can also be slightly smoother on the throat.
Nicotine-free e-liquids come in a vast array of flavours to satisfy all palates. You can still explore and savour different tastes, from tropical fruits and dessert flavours to refreshing mint or menthol, all without the interference of a nicotine stimulant.
How do they make nicotine-free disposable vapes?
The primary ingredients in disposable vape e-liquids are propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG).
These two substances serve as the base for the e-liquid and create the vapour when heated. The ratio of PG to VG can vary, and some e-liquids may also contain distilled water to thin the mixture.
This e-liquid base is infused with flavourings to create the desired taste. These flavourings can be natural or artificial and play a crucial role in providing the desired flavour profile.
Should I buy zero nicotine vapes?
Ultimately, the decision to buy a nicotine-free disposable vape should be based on your personal preferences, health objectives, and lifestyle. Whether you're transitioning away from smoking or wanting to lower your nicotine consumption, a nicotine-free disposable vape can provide a flavourful and satisfying experience without the complications of nicotine addiction.
