00Data reveals a staggering 96% of ex-smokers would recommend vaping to help ditch the habit!
With a renewed focus from Oxford University and in light of a recent report by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) urging policymakers to focus on boosting e-cigarettes rather than imposing bans, Neil McLaren from Vaping.com/uk details the results of their survey and why it’s important now more than ever to support smokers in aiding their journey to quit.
“It seems intuitive that vaping is far less harmful than continuing to smoke – cigarettes contain over 7,000 toxic chemicals and kill millions each year around the world. This study just adds to the growing evidence base that smokers are better off as vapers as backed by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) report recently published.
We know from our own research that vaping isn’t just less harmful than smoking: it is also attractive to smokers who want a fresh start. When we asked our customers, 96% told us that they would recommend vaping to smokers who wanted to quit. Matched to this, the IEA report also states that 28% of smokers have never even tried an e-cigarette, suggesting that the initiative towards current smokers should be the main focus driving the smoking rate down.
Customer anecdotes:
“I am 58 and smoked cigarettes for 25 years. I discovered the benefits of vaping over 10 years ago and it has literally saved my life.”
“I have fully quit smoking due to vaping products. I don’t think I would have been able to quit otherwise.”
“First and foremost vaping has truly helped me. I haven’t smoked a cigarette in years and I’m even down to 3 mg of nicotine. I truly hope that all the haters out there can see that vaping is good and not bad.”
