How Vape Affected the Cigarette Smoking Community

The electronic cigarette or commonly known as cbd vape juice one of the most popular and recognizable inventions in the earlier part of the 21st century that even up to this day still garners a lot of users worldwide. Originally introduced to become a considerably less hazardous substitute of cigarettes for people who wanted to quit smoking, it has since then garnered many loyal patrons from people who have never even had a cigarette all their life. The charisma that it has particularly to the younger generation can be considered as the main reason why vape still holds its meaning even today. 

The fact that most younger people are what consisting the vape user population, the vape market these days is targeted more towards the younger consumers, along with the introduction of new and exciting products such as new models of vapes, as well as new packaging and accessories to be used with it. Aside from these, what the vape companies and manufacturers have been putting much of their attention on is the creation of new flavors of vape juice, as it is still the best selling point vape can offer to its users.

Compared to cigarettes where you only have 2 sweet flavors and menthol, vape offer a variety of flavors during its early days. From the usual sweet and menthol, vape liquid presented more flavor-specific variants such as chocolate, bubblegum, and fruits such as strawberry and mango. As the flavor profile of their consumers started to evolve, these companies and manufacturers have been trying to cope up with the demand by introducing new flavors now and then, even introducing additional active ingredients to their vape juices other than nicotine. The addition of chemical compounds namely THC and CBD in vape juice has been making big waves lately in the vaping community, mostly because of the issues and concerns surrounding the regulation and usage of these types of chemicals aside from other things.

Since its introduction in the earlier 2000s, vape hasn’t had any notable impact on the reduction of the number of smokers throughout the world. In a study conducted in 2019, data from that study shows that using vape hasn’t greatly influence smokers to leave smoking. Instead, it only made them have the option to switch between smoking and vaping, whichever they consider to be more convenient. To add more injury, vaping has also created this group of none smoking people that will have a higher tendency to become cigarette smokers in the near future as they are slowly becoming hooked with nicotine while vaping. Despite all the negative effects that vaping may have contributed to today's society, we can’t deny the fact that it has and still contributing to reducing the number of smokers by providing them a better option. At the end of the day, let us not forget that the vape is still just an instrument to help people try to quit smoking. It doesn’t promise anything other than providing an alternative to a deeply rooted vice. More than anyone, the cigarette smokers who are trying to quit knows that change starts in one's self and not on others.
