to help people with that, Using e-cigarettes as a means to quit smoking, is the actual task of Myvapesite
Everyone, who has already tried it once, to stop smoking, white, that it is easy, to start quitting, and that the art lies in it, to endure it. This also applies to smokers, who use vaping as support.
Often newbies experience side effects and mistakenly assume they are, that vaping doesn't work for them, instead of recognizing correctly, that this is a combination of two factors: firstly, the usual side effects of quitting smoking and secondly, switching from smoking to vaping.
In this blog we will introduce you to the most important symptoms and side effects, that you have to expect, if you stop smoking and switch to vaping
Switching from smoking to vaping
For many smokers, the thought can, to give up cigarettes, be quite daunting. The same applies to the idea, switching from smoking to vaping. When you stand on the threshold, you may ask, whether it is difficult, to make the transition. That's why we want to reassure you, but also be honest with you. There is no magic formula for switching from smoking to vaping.
Some smokers note, that they pick up their first steam wand and never look back. Most smokers will go through an adjustment period, in which they gradually reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke within a certain period of time and eventually switch from smoking to vaping altogether. Another group, the so-called “dual user”, never stop smoking completely, but switch between cigarettes and vaping depending on the situation.
That's just what I'm saying, that you might not get it on the first try, stop smoking altogether and switch to vaping – and that's completely fine! It's a process, which is different for everyone. The most important thing is, that you trust your own decision, accept, that it will be a challenge, and stick with it.
Independently of, how your personal journey from smoking to vaping goes, There are definitely some common experiences, that most people do. When you quit smoking and start vaping, then what are the typical symptoms?, that you will experience?

Switching symptoms
As we mentioned in the introduction to this blog, we won't cover the full range of it, what happens, when you stop smoking. Rather, a more specific cross-section of experiences is intended to be covered here: What happens, when you stop smoking and start vaping?
1.Cough
When you switch from smoking to vaping, it is very likely, that you feel a persistent cough to a certain extent. Many people mistakenly assume this, that something went wrong when switching to vaping; that there is something wrong with the vape kit or e-liquid or that vaping “is not the right choice for me”.
But the thing is: A persistent cough is probably the most common side effect of quitting smoking. It is irrelevant, whether you switch to vaping or whether you use nicotine pouches, chewing gum, Paving, Hypnosis or just quitting cold turkey.
Actually, that's all it's about, that your lungs clean themselves. Smoking for years leads to deposits in the lungs, especially in the form of tar, and when you stop smoking, your lungs have the opportunity, literally and figuratively, to relieve yourself a little. So the smoker's cough is just the way, how your body expels excess mucus and debris from your lungs and airways.
2.Headache
Headaches are relatively common when switching to vaping. This is simply the result of a change in blood nicotine levels. Every smoker, who has already gone too long without a cigarette, knows the dreaded withdrawal headaches. When switching to vaping, it could be, that you are not getting your usual dose of nicotine. It could be the other way around, that you are getting too much nicotine. To ensure, that you get the right amount of nicotine in relation to your smoking habits, take a look at our nicotine strength calculator.
3.dizziness
Occasional dizziness is another common symptom when switching from smoking to vaping. Dizziness can occur for several reasons. Firstly, your body now absorbs more oxygen. When you quit smoking, The oxygen levels in your body and brain return to normal levels. Because you've gotten used to the lower oxygen levels, it can be, that you feel a little dizzy. This is nothing more than your body's adaptive response, which passes with time.
This dizziness, which is due to the normalization of oxygen levels, should disappear after the first few days of quitting smoking. If you continue to feel dizzy afterwards, You may simply be consuming too much nicotine. In this case, switch to an e-liquid with lower nicotine content or take fewer hits from your device.
4.Dry mouth & Dehydration
When you stop smoking and switch to vaping, Dry mouth is another common experience. Although smoking itself is a cause of dry mouth, smokers suffer, who stop smoking, often with further dry mouth; mostly because of the stress and anxiety, that accompany smoking cessation, but also as a natural effect of the adjustment phase when quitting cigarettes.
Vaping itself can also cause dry mouth. This is due to two of the most important ingredients in vape juice: vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG). VG and PG are both humectants (chemical ingredients, keep things moist), but they are also hygroscopic, That means, they absorb moisture from their surroundings.
If vaping gives you dry mouth or a general feeling of dehydration, there are two simple solutions: First, reduce the frequency of vaping and secondly, drink more water! Staying hydrated isn't just one of the best things, things you can do for your health in general, but also particularly helpful for people, who stop smoking and switch to vaping.
Dry mouth or general dehydration from vaping is not a cause for concern and does not mean, that something is wrong with you personally. It is simply a normal reaction to the main components of the e-liquid. When you transition from smoking to vaping, You will get used to this feeling of mild dehydration and will usually increase your fluid intake, to balance everything out.
In general, adequate fluid balance keeps your entire system running optimally. This is especially true during the transition from smoking to vaping and will contribute to this, to relieve all the symptoms described in this blog.
In summary
To sum up, there are clear side effects when switching from smoking to vaping. The upside is that most of these side effects and symptoms are firstly commonplace, so you’re not alone in going through this, and secondly, they tend to be short-lived. We know all about the benefits of quitting smoking, but as part of our general effort to educate people about the benefits of switching to vaping, we think it’s worth being clear-eyed.
