While smoking combustible cigarettes has been known to be a bad health habit for years, the numerous studies stacking up have motivated many long-time smokers to look for ways to quit their usage. Although many physicians fixate on nicotine replacement therapies such as lozenges, gum, and the patch, a recent study conducted by the charity, Cancer Research UK, is affirming that e-cigs double the quit rate in comparison to other nicotine supplements. So, let’s dive into the results they found.  

The study

The article, published in the journal, Addiction in late May 2014, addressed the funded research conducted by the charity, Cancer Research UK and found that e-cigs have doubled combustible quit successes across the country. Upon analyzing the success rates of several common stop-smoking methods, it was identified that ex-smokers who used e-cig starter kits were twice as likely to stop smoking for good. The study collected the data and surveyed almost 19,000 people over a 12-year-period and successful quitters were defined as those who said they were no longer smoking. 

Researchers also recorded a wide range of factors that might influence the data collected on success rates for quitting, which included age, social level, degree and length of combustible cigarette addiction, previous attempts to quit, and whether the quitting process was a gradual or abrupt shift. 

What was the result?

The report concluded that people using e-cig starter kits were 95% more likely to declare their success than those trying to quit without any help from stop-smoking aids. 

Peter Hajek, director of the tobacco dependence research unit at Britain’s Queen Mary University of London, said the study yielded two key findings of e-cig starter kits: 

“They help smokers quit at least as much as stop-smoking medications and they are used by many more smokers. This means they generate many more quitters and do this at no cost to the NHS (National Health Service).”

The vaping industry is buzzing over the popularity of nicotine salts, which offers vapers a higher concentration of nicotine to help fight off their cravings. Profoundly mimicking the rush received from combustible cigarettes, EonSmoke’s wide selection of JUUL compatible pods are sold in a satisfying 6% nicotine salt. Even vapers on-the-go are thrilled with the intensity of EonSmoke’s 6.8% disposable e-cig. So, are you content with vaping freebase nicotine or are you ready to learn about the fiercely heightened power of nicotine salts? 

What’s the difference between freebase nicotine and nicotine salts? 

It isn’t a matter of which nicotine absorption method is better, but more about what your preferences are. If you’re going to successfully make the transition from smoking to vaping, you need to provide your mind and body with an enjoyable experience. Although freebase nicotine and nicotine salts are both compounds that can be used to make e-liquid, understanding their contrasting properties will help you to make an informed choice. But how do they differ? 

Freebase nicotine: When inhaled, this chemical compound is rapidly absorbed into the body, producing a harsh throat hit. This is why freebase nicotine e-liquids are offered in lower, more manageable nicotine strengths. 

Nicotine salt: This chemical compound is nicotine in its organic state. When it’s extracted and mixed into the e-liquid, it produces a smooth throat hit that facilitates a more balanced rate of absorption. The smoothness allows nicotine salt e-juice to be manufactured at higher concentrations, which make them a great option for ex-smokers that are transitioning to vaping. 

It’s easy to vape nicotine salts using a closed system

Closed vaping systems are rechargeable, e-cigarette devices that fit pre-filled, e-liquid cartridges into their battery device. Once the cartridge is emptied, it can be disposed of and replaced with a new capsule that can be popped on or screwed onto the device’s battery in its place. Since nicotine salt e-liquids possess higher nicotine strengths, low wattage e-cigs, like the EonSmoke JUUL compatible device, are required to allow the vaper to safely inhale the heightened levels of nicotine. 

What are some of the benefits of nicotine salts?

• Instant nicotine rush (similar to combustible cigarettes)
• Intense and smooth throat hit
• More efficient delivery of nicotine to the bloodstream 
• User-friendly, low maintenance devices
• Easy for on-the-go vaping

Is someone you care about trying to quit combustible cigarettes? Deciding to withdraw from smoking is a big deal and with a quit plan in place, this bold decision to go smoke-free could become a reality. Like anything, one of the best ways that you can encourage a loved one to achieve their goals is by offering them support while they face their biggest challenges. Quitting cigarettes works in the same way. While there are nicotine replacement therapies that they can use to combat their cravings, the support of a family member, friend or co-worker can sometimes provide them with some added motivation to increase their chances of success. And while it’s only natural to want to offer inspiration and reassurance, it can be difficult to know how to offer support to your struggling loved ones. That’s why understanding what you can do to impact their quitting journey is the key to helping support a smoke free lifestyle. Here are some tips that you can use to encourage the person in your life who’s quitting combustible cigarettes. 

Continue the conversation 

Smoking is a serious and complicated addiction which is why a person requires the help and support of their loved ones when they decide to quit. While it’s important to look for an opening to start a conversation, it’s even more imperative to build upon a supportive foundation. So, here are some topics that may give you the right opening to offer words of encouragement:

• “I’m thinking about quitting smoking.”
• “My doctor said that I could benefit from quitting smoking.”
• “I want to start a family. I should probably quit smoking.”
• “My wife is pregnant. I should probably quit smoking for her.”
• “My kids keep asking about my cigarettes. I should probably set an example and quit smoking for them.” 

Do you know how to respond to the above sentences? Well, the first thing you should do is affirm their statement and let them know that you think it’s a great idea that they’re considering quitting. If you’re an ex-smoker yourself, you can even use this as an opportunity to draw from your own experiences. Here are some ways that you can respond supportively: 

• “I’m so proud of you. I’ll help with whatever you need to make it happen.”
• “Quitting will be hard, but I know you can do it. Have you set a quit date?”
• “You’re not alone in this. It’s a tough decision and I’ll be here for you.”
• “Quitting smoking is the best thing I ever did! I can offer you some tips if you want.” 
• “Have you considered a disposable e-cig as a tool for your transition?”

If an opening isn’t offered, create one by talking about something you heard in the news or describe your first-hand experience. 

Do your best to listen

While conversing has a powerful effect when it comes to providing support, listening can sometimes be a more dynamic, supporting approach. Having a conversation invites an authoritative, judgmental opinion, so, rather than influencing their decision in any way, simply do your best to listen and resist the urge to make any comments unless they’re requested. 

Try to not lecture as a means of support

When you love someone, sometimes supportive conversations can easily turn into a never-ending lecture. So, to exhibit encouragement, try to avoid the following:

• Nagging about the dangers of smoking.
• Counting how many cigarettes they’ve smoked.
• Asking them when they smoked last.
• Getting upset if they slip and smoke a cigarette.

Offer distractions

The things you say can be meaningful, however, inviting your loved one to take part in smoke free activities can provide an even more impactful show of encouragement. Healthy diversions can also provide motivation to keep with the program. Here are some that we suggest:

• Watch a movie.
• Take a hike.
• Plan a games night.
• Sign up for a class (cooking, painting, etc.)
• Attend a play. 

It’s important to suggest fun endeavors where smoking may not be permitted. Keep in mind that while participating in an activity may distract them from their cravings, triggers are sometimes unavoidable and you should be prepared to offer them a way to keep their hands busy as well.

• Give them gum or hard candy.
• Offer them a straw or a toothpick. 
• Bring along some healthy snacks (carrots, nuts, etc.).
• Offer them a stress ball to use. 
• Walk them through deep breathing exercises.
• Ensure that they drink lots of water.
• Suggest a disposable e-cig to help handle their nicotine cravings while also giving them something to hold. 

Essentially the best way that you can support your loved one is with patience and positivity, celebrating their successes, no matter how big or small and helping keep them busy and stress-free. Your ongoing support could be all they need to make this quit attempt their last.

Smoking combustible cigarettes is a harmful, addictive habit that has many adverse effects on the mind and body, especially for pregnant women. Though it’s becoming far less common to see people with a cigarette in hand alongside a growing tummy, it isn’t completely nonexistent. While relishing in the anticipation of parenthood may be enough for some women to quit cold turkey, others rely on the use of an innovative e-cig starter kit to help manage their combustible craving. While any type of nicotine-delivery to the body has the potential to cause harm to the unborn infant, the toxins found in traditional cigarettes outweigh e-cigs so greatly that The Royal College of Midwives (RCOM) is encouraging expecting mothers to use e-cigs to quit smoking. 

Vaping is better during pregnancy

For most people who smoke, quitting cold turkey isn’t a viable option leading to a successful transition. In fact, a small number of the smoking population is able to manage the addiction on their own and instead they rely on nicotine replacement therapies, such as an e-cig starter kit, to help them kick the cravings. While RCOM acknowledges that e-liquid contains nicotine strengths that can be harmful to a developing baby, the levels are “far lower” than that of tobacco smoke. The truth is that smoking significantly increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, sudden infant death and birth abnormalities, while also damaging the mother’s health with maternal risks, such as placenta issues and eclampsia. 

What is the RCOM’s position

Most families want to give their baby the best chance in life, that’s part of the reason that the RCOM supports this health-conscious change. Since one in ten women in England are smokers at the time they give birth, there has never been a more crucial time to address the issue. 

“If a pregnant woman who has been smoking chooses to use an e-cigarette (vaping) and it helps her to quit smoking and stay smokefree, she should be supported to do so,” explained an RCOM media representative. 

Why does RCOM support vaping?

While quitting all forms of nicotine-delivery is the absolute best way to protect a baby’s development, there are ways that vaping can benefit women who can’t overcome their smoking routine.

• Vaping offers nicotine strength variations that cater to different smoking habits.
• Vaping offers a safer way to breastfeed. 
• Vaping offers an option to maintain a smoke free environment and lifestyle.
• E-cigs contain safer ingredients than the toxic contents of a combustible cigarette. 

“We need to be doing all we can to support women and their families to stop smoking. Vaping should continue if it is helpful to quitting smoking and staying smoke free.”

So, if you wish to avoid the disappoint, try grabbing yourself an EonSmoke JUUL compatible blueberry pod. Featuring a lively, vigorous fruit flavor, this pod manages to mimic that sweet blueberry taste each and every time.

There are so many reasons that people quit smoking — financial, health-related and for the ones they love — but maintaining a smoke-free lifestyle is far more manageable if one of those reasons to quit is for yourself. The truth is that once the novelty of combustible cigarettes becomes less of social activity and more of your everyday behavior, most people are pushed to quit in order to regain control of their lives. However, those who smoke have to weigh their drive to make a change against their addiction to nicotine and the stress of withdrawal if they want to gain the confidence to take action. 

So, whether you’re an ex-smoker who has successfully taken the plunge and started using an e-cigarette starter kit or you’re on the fence about preparing for your quit date, here are some incentives that may help you to throw out your combustible cigarettes for good. 

Quit for your finances 

The cost of a pack of combustible cigarettes adds up quickly. In fact, if you smoke a pack a day, the average amount that you would spend per week would be about $45 (2018 national average price was $6.35 plus tax) and depending on where you live, that cost could be much more. So, it’s easy to see how the financial rewards of quitting are huge, allowing you to begin by growing your savings and also save some money on your insurance premiums.

Quit for your health 

You can look forward to changes in your health from the moment you stop smoking. Illnesses, such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, lung disease and even vision problems, like cataracts, can become a lowered risk to your health once you remove combustible cigarettes from the equation. Your body will also begin to breathe easier, coughing less as the mucus slowly clears out from your lungs. Within as little as 20 minutes your body will start to make these changes and it will continue to heal over time, adding years onto your life. 

Quit for your loved ones 

Secondhand smoke harms those around you, particularly young children. So, if you’re looking for an important reason to quit, do it for your loved ones. Not only does quitting decrease the risk to your friends and family’s health — allergies, asthma and bronchitis — but it also sets a good example for your children or grandchildren who’re still very impressionable. 

Quit for yourself 

Freeing yourself from the stronghold of combustible cigarettes will allow you to feel more energized, more relaxed and more in control of your life. If you quit, you can tell yourself that you’re proud and focused and allow yourself to work on new challenges. If you’re finding that you’re struggling with the setbacks of nicotine withdrawal, try using an e-cigarette starter kit to curb the cravings, allowing you to vape the nicotine concentration level that your body needs, while overcoming your tobacco dependency. That way once you’re feeling comfortable, you can slowly decrease your nicotine strength and reap the rewards of nicotine-free vaping.

Since it’s widely known that most people who vape have a history of smoking, it only makes sense that when they make their transition, they shift to vaping a flavor that’s familiar, like the chilling taste of menthol. Just like how a menthol cigarette reduces the harshness of the smoke, a menthol e-cig is a smooth substitute, possessing the same delicious, cooling effects that soothe the vaper’s mouth and throat. So, if you once enjoyed the taste of menthols, here’s your guide to vaping with a menthol e-cig starter kit. 

What’s the difference between mint and menthol?

It isn’t uncommon for the words mint and menthol to become interchanged when people are conversing, however, keep in mind that while these two words get tossed around in a substitute for one another, they actually have two different meanings. 

The word “mint” should be used when the flavor is being described, whereas the word “menthol” is used to express the cooling sensation. There are many e-liquids on the market that tastefully mimic the refreshing infusion of mint, while there are also bold, menthol e-cig starter kits featuring cartomizers that embody a frosted, almost air-cool tingle when inhaled. Though most brands on the market manufacture products to exhibit the taste and aroma of a plain mint flavor, it isn’t uncommon for e-juices to be labeled as “mentholated”, meaning that the flavor may be tobacco, fruit or candy-inspired, but it also contains cooling menthol to enhance the effects of the extract. 

How do you know if you will like menthol?

Just like any flavor, menthol is an acquired taste. While some vapers find it to be rather strong, others indulge in the cooling sensation, seeking out the intense, soothing aftertaste. Though the power of menthol can offer a combined, cooling tartness in a number of ways — a tickle on the tip of your tongue, a slight chill around the mouth, a coolness in the nose or throat — the best means of finding out if you’re a fan is to grab yourself a menthol e-cig starter kit and test it out on your senses. 

Logic Power Series Menthol E-cig Starter Kit 

This versatile e-cig kit comes with everything you need to enjoy your vaping experience. With a state-of-the-art battery allowing the device to produce thick, rich vapor and premium, menthol cartomizers that pack a punch in terms of flavor, you’ll be well equipped for a smooth vaping experience.

That being said since menthols are the perfect approach to summer vaping, experience summertime to the fullest with some Logic technology and some fresh, cool flavor.

There are so many enjoyable activities that you can fill your summer schedules with — spending some time camping out in your backyard, hosting a fabulous cookout or visiting the county fair and getting your hands on some delicious, seasonal delicacies. While overindulging in the fun of summer seems appropriate, taking a little break from it all can prove to be equally as relaxing. So, if you’re starting to feel a tad bit exhausted from the heat of an overloaded season, why not try taking a stroll by the boardwalk and pampering your taste buds with a few gratifying summer scents? 

Logic Pro Gold Label Strawberry

It’s easy to save yourself a trip to the farmers market when you have a rich, ripe strawberry extract at your disposal. This addictive aroma is simply bursting with the sweet essence of summer, offering vapers a full strawberry flavor that’s best enjoyed while taking in the sights of the season. Fruity and flavorful down to the last drop, this mouthwatering e-juice is one of the most popular flavors within the Logic Pro e-cigs lineup. So, if you want a delicious, grab and go juice that tastes just like summertime, this tasty distillation stacks up to be the perfect summer pairing. 

Logic Pro Cold Label Berry Mint 

Logic Pro e-cigs are known for having some of the most enticingly, refreshing flavors, so, it isn’t a surprise that they would think of combining a fruitful blend of berries with a cooling mint to create a delicious medley best served alongside the crispness of summer. Since the month of July is all about enjoying the warmer weather, vapers are able to use this delectable e-juice flavor to stay cool on hotter days. After all, this enriching, sweet menthol blend is a great addition to all the intoxicating scents of seasonal flora and fauna.  

Logic Pro Gold Label Toasted Tobacco

Nothing quite screams summer like the warmth and whispering hisses of a musky campfire. However, with ongoing, nation-wide fire bans and the intoxicating smell of burnt wood clinging to your clothing, campfires have become a less common midsummer indulgent. So, if you’re a lover of campfire musk, you may always find yourself captivated by the smell of Logic Pro e-cigs hot, new flavor, toasted tobacco. Delivering a robust taste with the essence of full-bodied tobacco, this heated flavor is a great smoky substitute for those missing campfire fumes.

It has now been over a decade since electronic cigarettes first delivered nicotine to ex-smokers without the added chemicals associated with combustibles. That said, just like most technologies, e-cigs have come a long way since then. Monumental strides have been taken to craft e-liquids with salt nicotine in order to appeal to those who need a wider assortment of concentration levels. While this a relatively new craze for the vaping community, there is an endless list of prospective benefits.  

Higher nicotine e-liquids offer a bolder flavor

Many people describe the taste of nicotine as a strong, peppery flavor, so, naturally, in order to mask the intensity of higher nicotine concentrations, more tasty flavorings may be added to the extracts in order to balance out the mixture. In turn, this is incredibly beneficial if the vaper desires a more heightened experience with their e-cig. So, in order to adhere to the industry’s demand for higher levels of nicotine, the brand EonSmoke has crafted JUUL compatible pods with 6% salt nicotine and EonSmoke Disposable electronic cigarettes with 6.8% salt nicotine— a natural, more stable form of nicotine that doesn’t impart a harsh flavor, but rather a profound, bold piquancy — to encourage more vapers to indulge in the savories of each delicious extract. 

Higher nicotine e-liquids offer a smooth throat hit 

The throat hit is one of the most important elements of your vaping experience, especially if you’re an ex-smoker. In fact, most vapers want their throat hit to be strong enough to mimic the satisfaction of combustible cigarettes, but smooth enough that it doesn’t cause any irritation. So, if you’re hoping to achieve the ultimate, full-bodied vape then you may benefit from the punchy high-strength of the salt nicotine e-liquid within EonSmoke’s JUUL compatible pods. With an array of 16 delicious flavors available at a satisfying nicotine strength, it’s easy to tailor your experience to match your vaping needs. 

Higher nicotine e-liquids help with your transition

Often smokers have problems making the transition to vaping because they’re unable to find the appropriate nicotine level to help with the effects of nicotine withdrawal. So, for those heavy smokers who’re wanting to make the switch, it’s worth starting your journey with EonSmoke’s JUUL compatible pods and when you’re ready, slowly lowering your nicotine strength at a pace that meets your needs.

Regardless of how the media chooses to shape the perception of electronic cigarettes, it’s still one of the top nicotine replacement therapies used by current and former cancer patients to overcome their tobacco and nicotine dependencies. With more seasoned smokers having trouble making the shift, studies suggest that those who have undergone their cancer treatment at a younger age are more likely to use e-cig starter kits. Needless to say, although conventional smoking rates have remained popular within this medical cohort, the prevalence of e-cigarette use has shifted. It’s a new area, so let’s take a look at the controversy and find out about this recent medical center news release. 

The study

A study that followed 13,274 patients with a self-reported cancer diagnosis found that roughly one in 10 respondents reported having used e-cigarettes either during or after their treatment. The study was conducted through the use of a survey that was answered by participants from 2014 to 2017 and later published in 2019 by the journal, JAMA Oncology. The findings determined that most of the patients belonged to a cohort of former smokers and those who were 50 and under were much more likely to use e-cigarettes. 

The objective

The analysis was conducted in order to better understand how the e-cigarette trend has slowly replaced the use of conventional cigarettes among current or former cancer patients. Researchers from the CDC’s National Health Interview Survey wanted to see the significance of a large cohort of people in order to determine if age played a role in e-cigarette use. 

What was the result?

The study found that electronic cigarette uses among cancer patients and survivors had increased in recent years, whereas conventional smoking rates had remained stable — with one in 10 survey respondents reporting that they had or still do use their e-cig starter kits. Here are some other main findings of the study:

• The median age of participants who had used/are using e-cigs was 68. 
• The ages of the participants ranged between 18 and 85.
• 26.8% of participants under 50 tried/still use e-cig starter kits whereas those who are 50+ are only at 8%. 
• Conventional cigarette use has not dropped, even with the use of e-cigs.
