What's the Deal with Vapes vs Cigarettes?
Well, vapes let you inhale nicotine but without all that smoke. You're inhaling a vapor instead, which is why they call it vaping. You can even choose a nicotine-free juice if that's your jam. No tar, no carbon monoxide—just way less nasty stuff compared to cigarettes.

A lot of folks swear by it. There are a bunch of different vapes out there, so you'll wanna find the one that suits you and the right strength of juice. Use it regularly to take the edge off those cravings and stay smoke-free.
Are Vapes Actually Safe?
Look, they're not 100% risk-free, but they're way, way less harmful than cigarettes—like 95% less harmful. You'll still find some of the same chemicals as in cigarette smoke, but at much lower levels.
What's the Story with Nicotine?
Don't stress too much about nicotine. The real killers in smoking are all those other toxic chemicals.
