Back in 2018, Public Health England released a report suggesting that vaping nicotine is 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes. So if you’re trying to quit, don’t let frightening headlines about the potential dangers of vaping keep you from making the change. Some readers will be quick to pick up on the fact that Public Health England’s report doesn’t mean vaping is 100% harmless; and they’d be right. Indeed, some vape flavors are more toxic than others--butter, vanilla, and cinnamon flavorings were found to be the worst of the lot by researchers in a laboratory study performed earlier that year and published in Frontiers in Physiology. The same study also concluded that mixed flavors were far more damaging than any one flavor on its own, a finding that has been supported by other laboratory research. So those concerned about their health but still wanting to vape CBD might want to consider single fruit flavors only.
So with all this information out there about potential toxicity, why vape CBD at all? There are several good reasons to consider vaping, whether or not you’ve been a smoker or vaper in the past. Let's take a closer look at these below:
For one, vaporizing CBD is the fastest way to feel its effects. For those suffering from high stress or subject to migraines, vaping CBD may be their best option. I know; I suffer from migraines myself. While tinctures provide relief in 15-20 minutes, vaping does so in just 1-5 minutes. Twenty minutes can feel like a long time when your brain is on fire. I choose to vape CBD in this situation because I feel relief almost immediately.
Secondly, CBD is not habit forming. It’s both non-intoxicating and non-addictive, and it's suggested that we don't develop a tolerance to its effects. So if you do choose to vape, you won’t be tempted to suck on a flash drive every fifteen minutes like those of us vaping nicotine. Most of the customers I talk to vape CBD on an as-needed basis, so any potential health harms will be much less than those for people who are driven to vape constantly by nicotine addiction.
There are many types of CBD vape products out there, but they generally fall into a few categories. E-liquids, or E-juices are pre-infused with CBD and can be used just like any other E-liquid. Vape juice additives are formulated to be mixed with existing vape liquids. Pre-filled, one time use cartridges are a popular option for a more simple and easy to use product. Whichever route you choose, you can rest easy knowing that CBD vaping is, while not without its own risk factors, much better than nicotine when it comes to your health.
Please note, vape products may only be purchased in person by adults age 21 and up with a valid ID.
It might be difficult to accept change, especially if you found products you already love using. However we encourage everyone to be patient and believe that you may find even better results with some of these THC alternatives.
