Can Vaping Help With Your 2022 New Year Resolution?
If your 2022 New Year resolution is to lose weight or quit smoking, vaping could help you achieve your goals.
What’s your 2022 New Year Resolution?
Every year, millions of people choose a New Year’s resolution to make a positive change in their lives. From losing weight to starting a hobby, setting goals during the New Year can motivate people to stick to their lifestyle changes and change their lives for the better.
Outdoor exercise, diet and losing weight.
Losing weight isn’t easy, but the benefits are endless. It’s especially important now, given the Coronavirus pandemic and the fact that obesity is a known co-morbidity. The NHS website says that those with a BMI of over 40 are “at high risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.”
There’s lots of ways to get started. You can join a gym and get your Summer bod ready early, but there are cheaper ways to get exercise. Jogging, walking, hiking, cycling or swimming are just as good, are free and can be enjoyed outside in the fresh air. Just being outside in nature alone is extremely good for your health.
According to an article from Yale University, “studies have shown that time in nature — as long as people feel safe — is an antidote for stress: It can lower blood pressure and stress hormone levels, reduce nervous system arousal, enhance immune system function, increase self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and improve mood.”
Can vaping help reduce weight gain after quitting smoking?
Did you know that vaping has been linked to weight loss too? Most e-liquids contain nicotine, which is an appetite suppressant. Under no circumstances should you start vaping to lose weight if you don’t smoke or haven’t vaped before.
However, for smokers worried about gaining weight when they quit smoking, nicotine alternatives like e-cigarettes can be a great way to help reduce cravings and appetite gain when quitting when combined with plenty of exercise and a healthy diet.

Consider vaping instead of smoking for your 2022 New Year Resolution.
Every January, many smokers use the New Year as an opportunity to quit cigarettes and start a smoke-free life.
Yet quitting smoking is not a simple task. Did you know that on average, it takes at least 6 attempts at quitting to successfully stop smoking cigarettes, according to an article in the British Medical Journal? However, if you’re trying to quit cigarettes for your 2022 New Year resolution, don’t be disheartened. There are many ways to help you increase your chances of quitting smoking successfully, including the use of e-cigarettes (known as vapes).
Vaping is 95% safer than smoking.
For example, “between 2020 and 2021, up to 68% of smokers who used e-cigarettes, combined with local Stop Smoking services, managed to successfully quit”. E-liquids or nic salts used in vaping do not contain tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful substances found in cigarettes. According to Public Health England, vaping is 95% safer than smoking.
The British NHS has said it may start prescribing e-cigarettes as part of its campaign to reduce UK smoking rates. Joining a local stop smoking group will also greatly improve your chances of quitting successfully.
So if your 2022 New Year resolution is to quit smoking, vaping could be an option for you. Why not read our Beginner’s Guide to Vaping to get tips on how to start vaping for the first time.
Quitting cigarettes can save you thousands of pounds a year.
Another reason to consider quitting cigarettes over the New Year is the massive amount of money it costs to smoke. You can save thousands of pounds a year when you stop buying cigarettes and tobacco, which is a great motivator to keep you on track and hit your goals.
Vaping is much cheaper than smoking. Over just one year, smoking 10 cigarettes a days typically costs over £1800, according to the NHS savings calculator. Remember, that doesn’t take into account the health costs associated with smoking as well.
Over just 10 years, those costs add up to nearly £20,000. So saving thousands a year by quitting smoking could be the perfect 2022 New Year Resolution.
Vaping is much cheaper than smoking.
On the other hand, vaping is nowhere near as expensive. Using 10 bottles of 10ml e-liquid a month, plus the cost of a device, will only set you back around £300 a year – even taking into consideration buying replacement coils.
That’s roughly 6 times cheaper than smoking cigarettes over one year, and even more if you were smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day. Even if you were to use a 10ml bottle of e-liquid every day (which we definitely don’t recommend), it would cost less than half of what it costs to smoke 10 cigarettes a day.
What’s more, DIY vaping can help you save even more money by using:

This can make it difficult to get started if you’re not familiar with vaping and its terminology. Read our Beginner’s Guide to Vaping if you need a hand getting started on your vaping journey, but here’s a quick summary of the kinds of vape devices you can find.

Vape starter kits are an ideal way to save money and start vaping from the get-go. They come with a vape device, like a mod or pod, alongside a tank, coil and all the spare parts you’l need to get started.
Sometimes known as all-in-one kits, or AIOs, vape kits are perfect for beginner’s and those who prioritise convenience when vaping.
Disposable Vapes
One of the easiest, risk-free ways you can try vaping. These are small, portable devices that usually provide between 300 and 600 puffs (drags).
They are the cheapest kinds of vape on the market, starting from as little as £3.99. Disposables can be a great way to start vaping without having to maintain and commit to a larger device, like a mod.
One of the simplest and most convenient ways to take up vaping, a vape pod is a small device with a battery, with seperate pods with e-liquid and an atomiser (to heat the liquid into vapour).
Pods can either be refillable or prefilled. They are lightweight and compact, so they are perfect when you’re out of the house, travelling or in the car.
These are large, rechargeable devices that have bigger batteries and the option to change the power output. They’re ideal for experienced vapers as they allow you to control the heat, size and density of the smoke cloud.
They typically have a large battery unit, a replaceable coil and a liquid chamber or well that is refillable.
