Next in line comes the intriguing fashion sense that is embodied in vaporizers. Smoking itself is taken as a fashionable act.

It is rather surprising how cigarettes gave away to another wildly popular smoking culture. While smoking has widely been considered as a great heath risk with the added second and third-hand health effects, vaping is actually a much safer alternative to smoking. Vapor has no second hand health risks, way to go! Flavored e-liquids actually help smokers to cut down on nicotine or to quit smoking altogether; shows a study conducted by Dr. Konstantino Farsalinos. Numerous studies that have been conducted on vaping strikingly present us with no public health concern –  vaping improves a smoker’s health after switching to it and it certainly has no negative effects on the heart. Many health organizations recognize these benefits, under the necessity of more research although. The British Journal of General Practice conducted a study which argues that shifting to vaporizer might save as many as 6000 smokers in a million every year! It is all but a comparatively better paradigm shift in smokers’ lives.

Starting from popularity to fashion, celebrities to art, economy to medical – vaping stands out in popularity under each of these criterion. If you are a smoker trying to call it a day or if you are a non-smoker considering a try, vaping is the way to go. Plus, add a star on your fashion sense as you go with vaping. Let’s clearly say it out loud that vaping is the new cool and it is definitely the new trend in town!
