Vaping is recognised as one of the most effective ways of giving up smoking.
The evidence is clear that for smokers, switching to a regulated vape is much less harmful to health than continuing to smoke tobacco. Vaping poses a fraction of the risk compared to smoking, but they're not entirely risk-free which is why they're only recommended as a tool to help smokers quit. It is important to remember, if you do not smoke, then you should not vape, and children and young people should never vape.
If you do vape, you should plan to quit that too once you know you won't return to smoking. You can find out how to quit vaping when you're ready on the NHS website.
