Choose the right vape

Seeking advice on the right type of vape device is critical.

It’s important that your choice of device is easy to use, satisfies your cravings and fits with your daily routine.

STEP 03

Nicotine levels

As with e-cigarette devices, advice on the right level of nicotine concentration is critical.

It is important to ensure that your nicotine intake closely mirrors the same level delivered when smoking.

Know your flavour options

Flavours play a key role in supporting smokers to quit and stay quit.

All vapers who have switched from smoking are different and you should be open to trying different flavours. This is part of your quitting journey.

STEP 05

Remember: every cigarette not smoked is a win

Don’t worry if you don’t feel that you are making as good progress with transitioning from smoking to vaping as you had hoped for.

Just knock out one cigarette at a time and take as long as it takes – it’s not a race to the end.
