4 Reasons Why I Quit Smoking and Started Vaping
We’ve checked the stats and here’s the deal: vaping is safer than smoking when it comes to taking in cannabinoids. Who knew?! The research on vaping continues to grow each day, and so far it suggests that vaping cannabis products has a lower level of health and safety risks than smoking does. It seems as though vaping might just be the Ave Maria smokers need to kick a bad habit and improve their lungs in the process. It certainly worked for me!
So far, it is looking more and more like vaping is an alternative we should all be keeping our eyes out. I know that my life has been significantly improved since smoking less and vaping more… Here’s why:
1. I eased up on the toxins and eased into healthier habits
Many researchers have come to an agreement on the health benefits of vaping over smoking. This is largely due to the fact that vaping contains less harmful toxins than smoking. To get mildly scientific, smoking releases carcinogens which are the nasty chemicals that cause cancer and lung infections. Who needs that drama? When cannabis is vaporized, 95% of what you are putting in your body is straight up irritant-free cannabinoid. Compare this to the 88% of lung-irritating toxins ingested when smoking and I think it’s a TKO for vaping.
2. I inhaled less product (like, A LOT less product)
This may sound like you are getting less of what you paid for, but that is not the case at all. In fact, your lungs are so powerful that they absorb vapour much faster than smoke (we’re talking seconds) so you do not have to take that long end-of-the-day-my-kids-are-tearing-the-house-a-part-and-I-just-ran-out-of-rosé drag that you may find yourself taking when you smoke. That 95% irritant-free vapour that you are taking in is filtered through water so you aren’t dealing with harsh smoke and therefore can consume less product with even greater results and better taste.
3. Cleanup on aisle lungs
We have already covered that vaping cannabis has less irritating effects on your lungs, but did you know that vaping might also undo symptomatic damage caused by smoking? Studies suggest that vaping can allow the lungs to heal themselves as best they can from damage caused by years of puffing away on joints. If there is a way to get your oral fixation in a less harmful way than taking in the 88% of toxins released from smoking, then it might be a worthwhile venture to try that out! Your lungs will thank you and so will your wallet.
Speaking of…
4. I have so much extra coin safely tucked away
Keeping in mind that you do not have to take in as much vapour as smoke to get the benefits you seek, vaping is ultimately much cheaper than smoking. I know, I know “that vaporizer I saw online is $200 so what in the world are you talking about?” and I hear you but think of it like this: Purchasing a vape pen or other machine is a one time purchase and after that expense, you might not ever have to make the purchase again! Of course there are add-ons like buying the flower and/or concentrates to refill your devices, but vaping rather than smoking those products makes them last longer.
Because vaping is a relatively new experience in the mainstream, research is still inconclusive but definitely helpful nonetheless. As cannabis grows in popularity through its recent legalization in Canada (yay!), more and more scientists will boldly go where few have gone before and release new information on the medicinal and financial benefits of vaping. Users of vape products suggest that vaping provides instant relief of pain from headaches to muscle aches to PMS to nausea and so on. For many people, vaping is the quickest way to relieve tension and move toward better days.
As with everything, use good judgment when consuming cannabis products and exercise moderation. If you are unsure about the benefits/drawbacks of cannabis, then consult a doctor.

Definitely need a vape!
My boyfriend used to smoke cigs and has recently about 3 months ago switched to vaping his breathing and overall health has gone better and he is no longer addicted to cigarettes! To anyone who is looking on this topic, I suggest at least give vaping a try 🙂 and wish u the best!
Vaping is 100% my favourite way to consume cannabis! It’s less harsh, discreet and tastes amazing! Especially oils and concentrates containing live terps! 🤤💕
Personally I vape becaus eit doesnt smell as much and I find it mich less harsh on my lungs. Would reccommend!
Anything that gets people AWAY from cigarettes is a win in my book TBH
This will make me do some more research Into vaping weed for sure!
Waiting for my vape to show up! I have an order in for the westcoast smoke and two refills and I’m so excited to try it! I’ve used a vape before and it’s a lot more pleasant smelling than say a joint or smoking, and the experience is a more relaxed and faster set then having an edible! I love to vape in the bath, where I can relax and be calm in my own space and not have to bother my neighbors with the smell as I live in a condo setting.
LOVE my alair, its so small and perfect to just tuck away!
Would love to try the west coast smoke!
I’ve dabbled with a couple different vapes and I really like the experience! Such a mess free and stress free way to smoke!
Also delicious!
I started noticing my teeth were yellowing from pipe, joint and bong use. I started with a Storz & Bickel Volcano and have purchased a few others since. It is a way better experience, you can TASTE the notes in your bud! It is much smoother, WAY less smelly, you aren’t inhaling combustible materials. It is a dream. I love vaporizers. Never going back!
I quit smoking cigarettes 6yrs ago, now I vape, and use a pax2
I LOVE vaping. I didn’t really have a good experience with the disposable ones but once I’m able to afford a non disposable one I’m getting that right away!!
Am I the only person that doesn’t Vape? On my journey to find the best way for me to vape, and what works for me, Help me Birch + Fog!
This article may have changed my opinion on vaping, I enjoy an old fashion puff of a joint. Im now looking into a purchase
i vape with my boyfriend in bed every night, with the cold weather coming up its so much easier to stay indoors
I never really thought vaping was a practical method. but after reading this post its opened my eyes to another side of vaping. Plus who wouldn’t wanna “smoke:” a little while your in the bath?
Hmm
Vaping is the way to go. No smell (at least much less), product lasts longer (you can even back with the left overs) and best of all its so much easier on my throat.
I can’t wait for more scientific studies to be done on vaping and cannabinoids !!
Soooo much better on the lungs then smoking herb! Love my vape sosososooo much!
Really want to start incorporating alternatives to smoking into my life, so this blog was really helpful!
I actually have a friend that started vaping and he said that he gets more bang for the buck now! When he started vaping, his stash lasted 50% longer simply and then he bought a better vaperizer and gained an additional 10% lifespan to his stash.
I pretty much only smoke via vape since becoming a parent. Despite loving the smell of cannabis vaping distillate is far more convenient
Vapng is so great
I love vaping! It’s so convenient
i ordered the dr.good dabs oil pen and i love it 🙂
I’ll wait until the prices get a little lower.
I vaped once and it felt blank (?) Like a really shallow high, with no ups or downs; I could feel I was high but couldn’t distinguish any special trait, it was weird. Not bad, though, but for now I shall stick to flowers <3
Oooh interesting, I’ll have to give vaping a try, I’ve only ever smoked cannabis 🤷🏼♀️
I swear by oils
yes!
Great discussion
This helped me stop smoking cigs too
Vapping is the way to go !!!
I only vape (herb and oil) and I couldn’t be happier with the effect while still being discreet. And you use so much less product, so it’s a real money saver!! And it’s so convenient! It’s just the way to go!
I need to try this!
Still hesitant on vaping and not 100% keen on the idea but maybe one day I’ll give it a try!
Will be my next purchase for sure.
so worth it. discreetness is key in some situations.
Vape is more convenient
No vaping for me
Getting a vape pen next order, looking forward to trying it out.
Vape nation! This rules.
Vaping is so much more effective
I’m really interested in vaping,thanks for the info!
As an asthmatic, really need to switch over to vaping. Do you have a strong recommendation for a vape that does both flower and tincture?
I love my Magneto pen!
this makes me want to start vaping more
Although I havent tried vaping, I’m still very thankful that we now have more safer and healthy alternatives that we can utalize 🙌
Hmm maybe I will try vaping for now on!
Just picked up a few of these bad boys the other day!
Very great read!
Love my ‘oil’ vape pens, although we bought the pax 2, not a fan!
game changer for sure smoke of the future
I would love it if the world switched over to vaping from cigarettes. Then again, we really don’t know the long term side effects. Right now though it seems like the healthier alternative.
