How many packs of cigarettes are in a bang vape
Is a single vape device or cartridge equal to a pack of cigarettes?
The answer: not really. Comparing both is like comparing apples to oranges.
When you light a cigarette, you need to finish it or toss out the burnt and unburnt tobacco if you really need to throw it away.
NVPs are different because there’s nothing to finish. Your entire pack of cigarettes is in a single device ready to use at any time.
News articles may sensationalise the idea of vapes by claiming they have the same number of puffs as 20 cigarettes.
While it may be true or not, it only means pharmacy vapes can last as much as 20 cigarettes (and for much cheaper at $12.50 rather than $40 per pack).
That’s a large savings if you think about it.
What is a Nicotine Vaping Product (NVP) and how does it work?
NVPs, also called vape or electronic cigarettes, can replicate the sensation of smoking but uses/produces vapour instead of smoke for its users.
The vaporization (or atomisation) of specially-formulated electronic cigarette liquids do not create the same level of harm as the combustion and burning of substances and chemicals as with smoking.
Every NVP will have the following:
A battery
A heating element (also known as a coil)
A tank or cartrige filled with electronic cigarette liquid (which contains nocitine).
Vapes might come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but at the end of the day, they all share the same basic components.
When you switch on your NVP, the battery powers the heating element, which then heats the liquid and turns it into vapour for you to inhale.
It’s a clever way of delivering nicotine without the dangerous smoke, but understanding how it works is a crucial first step if you’re thinking about making the switch from smoking.
The difference between illegal and legal vapes
Have you ever wondered why there are both legal and illegal NVPs (nicotine vaping products) and what sets them apart? It’s important to know these differences before you start using them as part of your smoking cessation journey.
Recently, there have been reports about children as young as five getting hold of illegal vapes, and these unregulated products have been turning up in local convenience stores.
Unfortunately, these shops often continue to sell these risky items despite the safety concerns.
One possible reason for this issue is that the availability of trusted, pharmacy-approved options isn’t always highlighted in the news. As a result, many people might not be aware that there are safer, regulated alternatives.
Pharmacy-issued NVPs are designed specifically for responsible adult smokers looking to quit and are a much safer choice.
Now, let’s learn more about the differences between illegal and legal vapes, and figure out how to spot them.
