A new type of e-cigarette is taking the world by storm. Used by teenagers and others as a substitute to smoking, “vaping” is getting used more and more every single day. This smoking-alternative is both safer and has a variety of flavors to love and enjoy. Available with or without nicotine, this is fun for any type of person. What is vaping? The exact definition of vaping is, “Inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device.” Vaping is simply an alternative to smoking without the bad breath, bad smell, cigarette burns, ashtrays, etc. There is also less of a likelihood of getting cancer or other smoke-related illnesses.

Nicotine amounts can vary depending on what the user prefers. There is also more than 250 flavorings to choose from. Vaping is not a drug and is legalized almost everywhere.
