Vaping vs. Smoking in 2026: What does the science actually say?

Is vaping really a safer alternative? We look at the facts about tar, carbon monoxide, and why doctors in the UK recommend making the switch.

If you are a smoker, you have heard conflicting information. One day the news says vaping is a great way to quit. The next day – that it's dangerous. What is the truth?

In 2026, the science is quite clear. While vaping is not "healthy" (fresh mountain air is healthy), it is significantly less harmful than traditional combustible cigarettes.

Here are 3 key reasons why switching to a device like the VOZOL GEAR might be the best health decision you make this year.

1. No Combustion = No Tar

The main reason cigarettes kill is not the nicotine. It is the combustion.

  • When tobacco burns, it creates tar and carbon monoxide. These clog your lungs and damage your heart.
  • Vapes do not burn. They heat a liquid into vapor.
  • The Result: You inhale zero tar and zero carbon monoxide. Many users report that their sense of smell returns and breathing improves within just 2 weeks.

2. What do the experts say?

Public Health England has maintained their stance for years: "E-cigarettes are at least 95% less harmful than tobacco smoking."

Why? Because e-liquid contains only 4 ingredients:

  1. Vegetable Glycerin (VG) – used in food.
  2. Propylene Glycol (PG) – used in asthma inhalers.
  3. Flavorings – food grade.
  4. Nicotine – the addictive substance, but not a carcinogen itself.

Cigarette smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, 70 of which are known to cause cancer.

3. The Efficiency of Nicotine Salts

Old-school vapes often failed to help people quit because they didn't deliver the "hit." VOZOL GEAR uses modern Nicotine Salt formulas.

  • It absorbs into the bloodstream as fast as a cigarette.
  • It completely satisfies nicotine cravings instantly.
  • It allows you to put down the pack of cigarettes on Day 1.

Is it for you?

If you have never smoked – do not start vaping. But if you are battling cigarette addiction and looking for a less harmful alternative that smells like fruit instead of an ashtray – switching to VOZOL is the logical step.
