Thinking about quitting smoking and starting vaping? You’re not alone. Millions across the UK are making the switch to vaping as a cleaner, less harmful alternative to cigarettes. In this guide, we’ll break down what you need to know to get started confidently.
Why Make the Switch?
Vaping has become a proven tool for those looking to quit smoking. According to Public Health England, vaping is estimated to be 95% less harmful than smoking tobacco. By removing tar, carbon monoxide, and combustion, vaping reduces many of the health risks associated with traditional cigarettes.
What You Need to Start
If you’re new to vaping, you’ll need just two things:
- A Vape Device or Disposable – Disposables like Elf Bar or Lost Mary are popular for beginners because they’re ready to use right out of the box.
- E-Liquid (If Refillable) – Available in a range of flavours and nicotine strengths.

Is Vaping Cheaper Than Smoking?
Yes. On average, switching to vaping can save you hundreds of pounds per year. While the upfront cost may be slightly higher, ongoing refills or disposables are far more cost-effective than a daily cigarette habit.
Choosing the Right Nicotine Strength
If you were a heavy smoker, start with a 20mg nicotine strength disposable or a nicotine salt e-liquid. For light smokers, something between 5mg–10mg may be enough. You can always adjust as your cravings change.
