Launching a smoke-free life is not easy goal to obtain, but one way to set yourself up for success is to understand why you smoke and what happens when you stop.

Why is it so hard to quit smoking?

You’re addicted to the nicotine. Combustible cigarettes contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance that is found naturally in tobacco products. It elevates both your mood and your heart rate and when it is inhaled, it travels promptly to the brain and gives your body a temporary feeling of stress relief. Once the body fully cleanses the nicotine from your system, it craves the feeling once again. These withdrawals often are what causes the vicious cycle of dependency.

Smoking has become part your daily routine. You’ve bonded the act of smoking with so many rituals of daily life such as smoking with your first cup of coffee, taking a smoke break with co-workers or having a cigarette when going for a drink with friends. These activities have been an important part of your day and disrupting that routine may be difficult.

Your experiencing difficulties managing stress and it has an overwhelming ability to control your life. Some smokers turn to their nicotine fix as a way of combating stress from work or within their relationships. In order to successfully quit smoking, you may need to look into other options of controlling your stress management.

Physical activity is a good stress reliever and aids as a healthy distraction. Reach out to friends and family to offer you the comfort and positive reinforcement that you need. Also try to cut back on your daily caffeine intake. Caffeine is a stimulant that can increase your heart rate and raise anxiety levels.

Vaping is considered by research to be a much safer alternative to traditional cigarettes. An electronic cigarette does not contain any tobacco and it allows you to choose the amount of nicotine you want to inhale. Brands such as Logic Pro give the vaper a range of nicotine levels to choose from. This is a great way take control of your addiction. Logic’s vaping products also allow you to enjoy many of your old routines with that comforting hand-to-mouth movement, but without the harmful chemicals associated with traditional cigarettes.

According to the Royal College of Physicians, the majority of vapers are ex-smokers who have transitioned from combustible cigarettes to e-cigarettes for health reasons given that vaping delivers nicotine in a safer way, but did you know that e-cigs, when properly recycled, are also better for the environment?

Keep America Beautiful (KAB), a nonprofit organization focused on community improvement, revealed that the “overall littering rate for cigarette butts is 65%, and tobacco products comprise 38% of all U.S. roadway litter.” Shockingly, in a survey conducted by KAB, 77% of respondents stated that they did not view cigarette butts as litter. Unfortunately, 95% of cigarette filters that end up in the ground or waterways are comprised of cellulose acetate, a substance which is not readily biodegradable and that can have a lifespan of up to 15 years. Cigarette butts which accumulate in gutters are responsible for blight, creating an adverse effect on plants, and are hazardous to animals and marine life who often mistake them for food.

As more and more smokers turn to vaping to help them kick the habit, less and less cigarette related litter is expected to enter our landfills, rivers, and oceans, but what about the electronic devices themselves? If they end up filling up our landfills, then can the vaping industry truly say that e-cigarettes are better for the environment when compared to traditional cigarettes? This is why Logic, a leader in premium e-cigs, is dedicated to providing its customers with a convenient and free way to recycle their Logic vape batteries.

Logic vape products comprise of a rechargeable lithium ion/lithium polymer battery that should be recycled. Logic has partnered up with Call2Recycle, which specializes in the ecological disposal of battery and electronic goods, to make recycling as easy as possible.

When your Logic vape battery is at the end of its useful life, simply remove the cartridge and visit Call2Recycle’s website or call 1-877-2RECYCLE to find a battery drop-off location nearest to you. With over 30,000 collection sites in North America, including gas stations, convenience stores, and supermarkets, you’re sure to find one in your area.

Your friends have been enthusiastically raving about this fantastic device called the e-cigarette, which has not only helped them quit smoking but also happens to be socially enjoyable, and now, you are curious about vaping! With an abundance of information and choices out there, it can be difficult to know exactly where to start. So, we have put together a simple beginner’s guide to vaping using a convenient and economical starter kit.

We recommend starting out with an e-cigarette kit since it is uncomplicated and comes with all the components that you need to start your vaping experience. Let’s take a closer look at the top-selling two-piece model, the Logic Power Series Starter Kit, which consists of the battery and the detachable cartomizer, whose tank is prefilled with e-juice. The package also includes a handy USB charger.

The Battery

The 300 MAH battery, which comes pre-charged, powers the cartomizer that turns the e-liquid into vapor as the user inhales. You can assemble your e-cigarette and start smoking immediately upon receiving your order.

The Logic Power Series Starter Kit battery is the reusable component, so when your battery shows a blinking blue light or when you notice a significantly reduced smoke volume, you’ll know that it’s time to charge your e-cig. Just plug the USB charger provided into a computer or other device with a USB port for a few hours until the light changes from red to blue.

The charging frequency will, of course, depend on how much and how often you use the e-cigarette.

The Cartomizer

The cartomizer houses the tank containing the e-liquid or e-juice and a polyfill wrapped heating coil, which soaks the vape juice. When heated, the vape juice turns into a thick, yet smooth vapor.

One of the advantages of the Logic Power Series cartomizers is that they are made exclusively with premium, three-time distilled oils, delivering rich flavor while being free of the thousands of toxins present in combustible cigarettes. Each cartomizer delivers up to 400 thick vapor puffs and provides the equivalent of up to two packs of traditional tobacco cigarettes, which equals to approximately 40 cigarettes.

When you have used up your cartomizer, simply replace it with a new one. We offer a variety of delicious flavors such as tobacco and menthol, and the choice of 1.8% or 2.4% nicotine levels to suit your preferences.

The reasons to transition from combustible cigarettes to e-cigarettes are numerous. E-cigs are a safer alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes, 95 percent safer to be exact, according to the Royal College of Physician’s report titled Nicotine Without Smoke. Not only is vaping a safer and more superior nicotine delivery method, it also allows ex-smokers to maintain the social and ritualistic aspects of smoking, all with no ash, no tar, no smoke, no smell, and no stained teeth. Another research found out Teens who vape would be smoking combustible cigarettes if it weren’t for e-cigs, too. Regardless of your reason for switching to e-cigarettes, the three tips provided below will facilitate your transition.

Tip 1: Purchase the appropriate equipment

The number of options available to vapers can be overwhelming, and while impressive mods may be enticing, we recommend keeping it simple and starting out with one of our practical e-cigarettes, which are popular for their portability and ease of use.

An electronic cigarette works by vaporizing the e-liquid containing nicotine into an aerosol mist that the vaper inhales. It is sleek, inconspicuous, and excellent at mimicking the act of smoking a cigarette while providing you with a satisfying experience.

The disposable e-cigarettes that we carry come fully charged and ready to use. With up to 400 puffs, our e-cigarette delivers thick vapor and rich flavor and is equivalent to two packs of conventional cigarettes, such as tobacco and menthol. If you are looking for the same advantages as the disposable e-cigarette but also want the ability to recharge the battery, we recommend purchasing one of our Logic Power Series Starter Kits, which comes with the convenient and eco-friendly universal USB charger.

Tip 2: Choose the correct nicotine concentration

One of the advantages of vaping is that you can control the level of nicotine in your e-liquid or vape juice. We recommend choosing a higher level to start and maintaining that level in order to combat any nicotine withdrawals that a lower dose may produce.

To decipher the nicotine levels in e-liquids, look at the milligrams (mg/mL) of nicotine indicated on the packaging. For example, if you want to know what 20 mg/mL means, it means that there is 20mg of nicotine per millilitre of e-liquid. Alternatively, the nicotine concentrations can also be expressed as a percentage. For instance, instead of 20mg/mL, you may see 2.0%.

While choosing the right level is partly mathematical, determining the correct nicotine choice will also involve trial and error.

Tip 3: Don’t wait until you’re out of e-liquid or vape juice to reorder

Don’t wait until you’re completely out of e-liquid to order new product. A delay between when you run out and when the product is delivered to you has the potential to create a situation where you may be tempted to revert to the combustible cigarette.

With that fact in mind, we have made it easy for our clients to place recurring orders. Shoppers have the option to deliver new e-liquid every week, every two weeks, every three weeks, or every 4 weeks. What’s more? You can save 4 to 8 percent by choosing our convenient automatic reordering option.

Should Australia follow other countries and legalize the sale of nicotine for e-cigarettes? One tobacconist thinks so.

Franchise owner of an e-cigarette stockist, Naeem Ismail is hoping an inquiry into the devices will align Australia with the rest of the world when it comes to legalizing the sale of nicotine products.

“People are looking for an alternative to smoking for health benefits and to save money,” he said.

“Not only are e-cigarettes a cheaper alternative, they are slightly healthier and help people eventually wean off smoking.”

The said inquiry was raised by the Australian Parliament’s Health, Aged Care and Sport Committee and will look into the use of e-cigarettes in Australia.

Currently e-cigarettes containing nicotine are not uniformly available for commercial sale in Australia, but the inquiry hopes to change this as it investigates the health impacts of e-cigarettes and personal vaporizers, as well as their marketing and use as an aid for people attempting to quit smoking.

Mr Ismail argues that one of the main reasons he is in favor of the inquiry is due to the number of customers who had successfully quit smoking by using e-cigarettes.

“It’s that habit of having a cigarette in hand that is hard to break but your brain is also telling you that you need nicotine. People are training their brains to do the action without getting the nicotine hit,” he said.

“As much as it is requested, e-juice with nicotine is unfortunately banned in Australia.

“If the government is serious about getting people to quit smoking there needs to be an alternative method.

“Overseas, people can cut down their nicotine from 12mg to 6mg to 4mg and wean themselves off. We don’t have that option here.”

New research has found that smokers prefer e-cigarettes to quit smoking.

The brief, which was authored by RTI International, the University of North Carolina and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office on Smoking and Health, used a nationally representative online survey of 15,943 adult smokers who tried to quit smoking during the past three months, to see which methods they preferred.

The results showed that e-cigs were more popular as a quit aid for partial or complete substitution (2.2 percent), compared with nicotine patches/gum (0.8 percent) or other prescription medicines (0.4 percent).

Telephone quit lines, which the US government have poured millions of dollars into, were rarely used as a quitting aid, making up just 0.02 percent.

After this survey, there is even more pressure on the US government to follow suit behind Britain, where e-cigs have been the leading quit-smoking aid since 2013.

The UK Royal College of Physicians clearly stated their position on the matter, stating: “the hazard to health arising from long-term vapor inhalation from the e-cigarettes available today is unlikely to exceed 5 percent of the harm from smoking tobacco.”

A new study published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology has predicted that by 2050 the 32% of smokers in the UK that would otherwise have continued smoking will have made the switch to e-cigs.

The prediction was made after scientists at British American Tobacco developed a model which looks at a number of possible scenarios that may occur between 2000 and 2050. There is a baseline scenario in which e-cigarettes are not on the market, and a counterfactual scenario, based on the current trends in which both cigarettes and e-cigs are available to consumers.

The scientists used past trends to help predict the future, which, according to Dr. James Murphy, Head of Reduced Risk Substantiation at British American Tobacco, “is an informative way of assessing population health effects when epidemiological data are not available.”

“Our model shows that when e-cigarettes are available, the effect of ‘normalisation’, through for example, the visibility and familiarization of e-cigarettes versus the ‘de-normalization’ of cigarettes, means that fewer people start smoking and there is a higher rate of successful quit attempts–smokers quit earlier and, although many still relapse, there are significantly more former smokers,” Murphy added.

The model also takes into account the characteristics and behaviors or consumers, such as when they started smoking or whether they are a dual user, are represented through a feedback system, as is the potential effect of smoking normalization on starting and cessation rates. Factors including consumer age, gender, and aging are also taken into account.

“Our results show an overall beneficial effect of e-cigarettes on a population, reducing smoking prevalence and smoking-related deaths,” says Murphy.

These results coincide with reports such as the one published by Public Health England, saying that the current expert estimate is that using e-cigarettes is around 95% safer than smoking cigarettes.

Hear from our other iloveecigs.com customers who have already made the switch have to say here.

The Canadian federal government is attempting to limit public access to scientific data in its proposed anti-vaping legislation, Bill S-5, which was introduced in November 2016.

The Bill prohibits manufacturers or purveyors of e-cigarettes from sharing scientific information comparing the health effects of smoking traditional combustible tobacco cigarettes with vaping.

There have been several studies demonstrating that the effect of smoking on health is far worse than that of vaping, with one study which showed that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than tobacco, but even sharing a simple statistic like this would mean breaking the law if public access becomes limited.

Despite many health authorities in other countries, like the UK for example, seeing vaping as beneficial to public health, the federal government seems to have other ideas.

If the restriction goes ahead, making people aware of a peer-reviewed scientific journal article in a vape shop could result in a fine of up to $500,000 and a two-year prison term, something many people are saying removes their freedom of speech.

A recent study has found that consuming e-cigarettes if far safer and less toxic than smoking conventional tobacco cigarettes.

The study, which was led by a public health and epidemiology specialist at University College London, analyzed levels of dangerous and cancer-causing substances in the body and found that people who switched from smoking regular cigarettes to e-cigarettes or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), has much lower levels of toxins in their saliva and urine than those who continued to smoke.

Lion Shahab, the specialist, said that the study “adds to existing evidence showing that e-cigarettes and NRT are far safer than smoking, and suggests that there is a very low risk associated with their long-term use.”

People who used e-cigarettes or NRT but did not completely quit smoking did not show the same drop in toxin levels. This underlined that a complete switch is needed to get the long-term health benefits of quitting tobacco, the researchers said.

According to the World Health Organization, tobacco smoking currently kills around 6 million people a year, and it will have killed approximately one billion people by the end of this century if trends continue.

“Switching to e-cigarettes can significantly reduce harm to smokers, with greatly reduced exposure to carcinogens and toxins,” he said in a statement. “The findings also make clear that the benefit is only realized if people stop smoking completely and make a total switch.

“The best thing a smoker can do, for themselves and those around them, is to quit now, completely and forever.”
