Top 5 Myths About Vaping — Busted!
There’s a lot of talk around vaping. Some true, some not even close. And honestly, all the noise out there can make it hard to know what’s real. One day someone says it's worse than smoking. Next day it's the best way to quit. So what’s the deal?
Let’s cut through the fluff. Here are 5 of the biggest vaping myths we hear at Uni Vapes—and the truth behind each one.
1. “Vaping Is Just As Bad As Smoking”
Nope. That’s one of the loudest myths, and the most wrong. Smoking burns tobacco. That smoke carries thousands of chemicals, many of them toxic—formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, tar, you name it.
Vaping? No combustion. Just vapor. Is it perfect? No. But it’s way less harmful. Public health bodies across the UK, New Zealand, even some Canadian experts, agree it’s significantly safer.
If you're trying to quit smoking, vaping gives you a cleaner route. And we’ve seen that work for thousands of folks right here at univapes.ca.
2. “Vapes Always Have Nicotine”
Wrong again. You choose your level. Some vape juices have nicotine, yeah. But others have zero. Literally none.
A lot of people come to Uni Vapes to wean off. They might start with 20mg, then step down to 10, then 3, and finally 0. That’s actually one of the big benefits—control.
With cigarettes, it’s one speed: full blast. With vaping, you take charge.
3. “Vaping Is for Teenagers”
Honestly, this one's tiring. Yes, there are concerns about underage vaping. And that stuff needs to be taken seriously, no doubt. But to say vaping is just for teens? C’mon.
Most of our customers are adults. 30s, 40s, even 60s. Ex-smokers who don’t want to go back to cigarettes but still need something to help manage cravings or habits.
You walk into Uni Vapes, you’ll see real people trying to make real changes. Not kids chasing clouds. That’s a myth from the outside looking in.
4. “You Don’t Know What’s In It”
People say this a lot. “Nobody knows what’s in vape juice.” That’s not true. Good brands list their ingredients. VG, PG, nicotine, and food-grade flavoring. That’s it. No tar. No ash. No burnt paper.
Of course, not all vape brands are equal. That’s why we only carry stuff we trust at Uni Vapes. No sketchy imports. No off-label bottles.
You got questions? Ask us. We’re straight-up about what we sell.
5. “Vaping Doesn’t Help You Quit Smoking”
Some folks say vaping doesn’t really help you quit. But that’s not the story we hear from our customers every day.
Thousands of people have made the switch. Completely quit smoking. Cut back. Or even just replaced that stressful "after dinner smoke" with something lighter.
And studies have started backing it up too. Vaping helps more smokers quit than nicotine gum or patches, especially when you have the right setup and a plan.
Truth is—quitting smoking is tough. Cold turkey doesn’t work for everyone. Vaping gives you a better shot.
