What is vaping?

Vaping is the term that is increasingly given to the use of E-Cigarettes, with users being known as Vapers – the term derives from the vapour produced by E-Cigarettes. Vaping is a smokeless and tobacco-free alternative for delivering nicotine to the body which is seen as a less harmful alternative to cigarette smoking. Vaping is designed to help manage nicotine cravings - users can step down their nicotine intake at their own pace, as E-Liquids are available in a range of nicotine strengths.
