Not even 2 decades ago it wasn’t uncommon to see people smoking in restaurants or pretty much anywhere you’d go. Even more than that most restaurants like McDonald’s had a smoker section inside and people were smoking on the streets like it was nobody’s business. But the reality is that after many years of legislation from governments around the world smoking cigarettes has become quite unpopular and just generally rarer than it used to be. It is no surprise considering how much we’ve learned about the dangers caused by both smoking cigarettes and second-hand smoke. One tool that helped move away from smoking cigarettes is the arrival in the market of vapes. Nowadays vapes are much more popular and I’ve found different places in our society than cigarettes. So, let’s take a look at how modern vapes can improve your health and what the benefits are of moving on to vaping.
First and foremost, it’s important to know that if you plan on consuming nicotine with your vape it is definitely not ideal but it is well known to be a good tool to stop smoking. One of the things that many people don’t understand about the consumption of nicotine is that nicotine is a drug the same way that caffeine or opioids are. If you smoke daily your system learns to expect this nicotine hit and compensates according to the consumption of nicotine. This means that if you stop cold turkey, you will definitely feel like you’re missing something both mentally and physically. This is why many people have chosen to use waves as a tool to stop smoking or at the very least reduce their nicotine intake. It is much easier to control the amount of nicotine in a vape than it is in nicotine gum or nicotine patches. It also means that if you want to reduce the amount of nicotine in your vape you can simply do so without buying a new product.
The way it works is that vapes use a liquid which means that if you are to smoke each puff of your vape is equal to a certain percentage of the liquid you’ve put In your vape. This means that if you want to reduce your nicotine intake you can buy vape cartridges that contain a lesser amount of nicotine than what you’re used to consuming every day. This way your body still gets what it needs and the need for nicotine is lessened. What you’re trying to do is basically wean yourself off by slowly reducing the consumption of nicotine that you are used to every day. It is important though to understand that it is very easy to consume too much nicotine if you simply use a vape considering it doesn’t necessarily have the same taste or the same downsides as smoking a cigarette. So whether you’re trying to stop smoking or at the very least reduce your nicotine consumption you should be very careful and wary of your use of your vape.
One if not the most popular use of base currently is of course for the consumption of cannabis products. One of the major upsides of consuming cannabis products with vape is that you don’t have the lingering smell that comes with it. It can be extremely beneficial for your health especially if you’re dealing with chronic pain to consume cannabis on a daily basis. Many medical cannabis products have been approved for prescriptions when dealing with chronic pain or pain associated with deeper issues like cancer. While we are not fully aware of all the benefits that can come from cannabis products as research was stifled for many years the reality is that combining the benefits of using a vape pen with the benefits of consuming cannabis products is definitely the best of both worlds to consume if you are dealing with issues that can be addressed with natural cannabis products.
One of the most important things to think about when thinking of potentially moving to cannabis vaping is to check with your local authorities and laws to see if you can actually legally possess these products. For example, you can get cannabis legally in the UK only if you have a medical prescription with actual proof of your medical needs for cannabis products. If you look at a country like Canada though restrictions have been lessened over the past few years and it is much easier to purchase these products for your daily needs. The use of vapes as a way to administer a medical supplement like cannabis is definitely new enough that there is a lot of wariness from governments. We can only hope that as the research in those fields becomes more readily available these treatments become more widespread and allow many people to see the medical benefits of using vapes long term.
