A cigarette is a narrow cylinder containing a combustible material, typically tobacco, that is rolled into thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end, causing it to smoulder; the resulting smoke is orally inhaled via the opposite end.
Smoking is the most common method of tobacco consumption. The term, as commonly used, refers to a tobacco cigarette, but the word is sometimes used to refer to other substances, such as a cannabis cigarette or an herbal cigarette. A cigarette is distinguished from a cigar by its usually smaller size, use of processed leaf, and paper wrapping, which is typically white.
The difference between smoking and vaping is that smoking delivers nicotine by burning tobacco, which can cause smoking-related illnesses, and vaping can deliver nicotine by heating a liquid in a much less harmful way. Even one cig per day is still risky and using vape could be your way to quit smoking for once.
Vaping is not smoking, but some people find vaping works to help them quit because it offers experiences similar to smoking a cig. Vaping has a similar hand-to-mouth action as smoking, and it can also be social.
The difference is cigarettes deliver it by burning tobacco, which creates many harmful toxins. Vaping delivers nicotine in e-liquid, which is a much less harmful way.
The best option is not to vape or smoke. Don’t vape if you don’t smoke. Only vape to quit smoking.
In smoking, the amount of nicotine in cigarettes is generally fixed, and how much you get depends on how you smoke. In vaping, the amount of nicotine depends on the strength of e-liquid you choose, and how you vape.
