WHAT IS VAPING?
Vaping refers to the use of an electronic device that heats a liquid turning it into an aerosol (vapour) which the user inhales.
HOW IS VAPING DIFFERENT TO SMOKING?
Vaping is different to smoking, which burns tobacco leaf creating
smoke. Both vaping and smoking deliver nicotine, but it is the burning
of tobacco that causes most of the harm. Vaping, however, is not
completely harmless.
WHAT’S IN VAPE LIQUID?
The vaping liquid (also called e-liquid) typically contains
propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, plus flavours and the option of
nicotine.
Propylene glycol creates a throat sensation similar to smoking.
A higher ratio vegetable glycerine gives more vapour.
Different flavours are added for personal preference. These are
regulated under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. The code
covers the safety of ingesting flavourings in food not when inhaled.
WHAT IS A VAPE DEVICE?
Vape devices are also known as e-cigarettes. There are two types, both of which need charging:
Discreet pod or pen devices are mouth-to-lung devices. Pod devices
have a battery and a disposable e-liquid cartridge. Pen devices have a
battery, a tank that refills with liquid, and a coil that heats the
vapour.
More complex tank devices are direct-to-lung devices and are the ones that can make big clouds.
HOW VAPING HELPS SMOKERS?
Vaping can help smokers quit by delivering nicotine. Vaping is a lot less harmful than smoking. Only vape to quit smoking.
