Every smoker knows the downsides of their habit. I remember the awful smell that clung to my hands and clothes after every cigarette, the daily cost of a pack of cigarettes and the disapproving looks my girlfriend gave me after a kiss. But I kept smoking because it still made life a little more enjoyable.

I would have happily continued smoking for years too, despite all the negative aspects came with it, but once I discovered vaping I didn't have to. I visited vape shops all around Australia looking for e-cig batteries while travelling. The day my first e cig battery and flavour of e-liquid arrived in the mail, an Eleaf iStick and a bottle of Must Vape's Pencil, I enjoyed the satisfaction that came with smoking, but the smelly clothes and scowls from my girlfriend disappeared. To top it all, I had a lot more money at the end of each week as well.

Tried and tested E-cig battery

That was well over a year ago now, and since that time I've tried dozens of different e cig batteries and hundreds of different e-liquids, all of which are available here on our website, and vaping has become a staple in my daily routine. Becoming a vaper was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

A lot of smokers around the world, many millions, in fact, have similar stories. According to a 2013 survey conducted by scientists at France's Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, one percent of the country's population has taking up vaping as a full-time alternative to smoking. But France isn't the only country in Europe where smokers are beginning to realise that vaping might be the alternative to smoking that they have been looking for. As of 2013, Action on Smoking and Health UK reports that 2.6 million adults in Great Britain now vape on a daily basis. Numbers from the United States are similarly impressive. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention says that nearly four percent of American adults vape every day or several days during the week.

Hollywood actors vape too

Statistics and scientific studies give us a good overall view of the situation: vaping is only becoming more popular as time goes on. Numbers can't really capture the human element of this story. The best way to do that is to simply listen to what vapers are saying about switching. Reddit threads and discussion forums all over the internet abound with stories of smokers picking up a vape for the first time and never looking back. Hollywood celebrities, a group infamously known for smoking, have also been very vocal about turning to vaping in recent years. Everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Charlie Sheen has been seen openly vaping in public.

Looking at pictures of celebrities walking around town vaping underscores how it can so seamlessly become part of your daily life. To return to my own experience for a minute, I know how amazing it feels to vape with my morning cup of coffee instead smoking a cigarette, or to no longer worry about leaving the house without a lighter. There's a kind of freedom that comes with taking up vaping as a smoking alternative. But if you needed any more convincing, I'm vaping as I write this post.
