Stoptober: Quit Smoking Cigarettes For Good This October With VPZ

Quit Smoking Cigarettes This Stoptober

Stoptober, an annual campaign by the Department of Health and Social Care, aims to help cigarette smokers quit for good. This year, over 2.5 million people across the UK have pledged to participate [1]. If you are still smoking cigarettes, we encourage you to join them and break the habit for good. 

Did you know that if you go 28 days without a single puff, you are five times more likely to quit permanently [1]? It might seem daunting, especially for long-term smokers, but with the right tools and support, quitting can be easier than you think.

VPZ is committed to supporting your journey to becoming smoke-free with our products, expert guidance, and free informational resources.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Quitting Smoking

It is a well-known fact that cigarettes have a very negative impact on your body and health. The great news is that as soon as you stop smoking, it will start having a positive effect on your body almost immediately.

• After 20 minutes: Your pulse rate will start returning to normal [1]. 
• After 48 hours: Your body has successfully flushed out all carbon monoxide, and your lungs are starting to clear out mucus [1]. 
• After 72 hours: Your bronchial tubes have started to relax, which normalises your breathing [1]. 
• Up to 12 weeks: Your blood circulation has improved, and your muscle and heart health have improved [1]. 
• Up to 9 months: Coughs, wheezing, and breathing issues will start to ease as your lung function improves by up to 10% [1]. 
• After 1 year: The risk of a heart attack has halved compared to those who still smoke [1]. 

Vaping: A Helpful Tool for Quitting Cigarettes

Quitting smoking immediately, especially if you have a nicotine addiction, can be very difficult. However, with the right aid, it is a completely achievable goal. There are many different support options available, which you can read about on the NHS Smokefree website.

Vaping is widely regarded as one of the most effective methods for quitting smoking [1]. Although it is not entirely risk-free, it poses significantly fewer health risks compared to smoking cigarettes, which expose you to harmful toxins that can lead to cancer, as well as lung and heart diseases.

E-liquids used to fill vapes come in various nicotine strengths, allowing you to control how much nicotine you need to manage cravings. This also enables you to gradually decrease your nicotine intake to help overcome nicotine addiction. Our vape liquid range includes many different flavours designed to cater to any taste: from classic tobacco and menthol to sweet and fruity liquids for a smoother vaping experience.

Where to Start?

If you are completely new to vaping, we recommend reading these handy blogs: ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Vaping’ and ‘What Strength E-Liquid Should I Use?’. These should give you a good understanding of what devices and vape liquid strengths you will need based on your current cigarette smoking habits.

We have a range of vape device kits that cater to different needs – take a look here.
