We would like to hear from people who vape about their experiences.

Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in England. Cigarette smoke kills about 65,000 people a year. Though many studies show that vaping is less harmful than smoking, it is not risk free. According to the NHS: “The liquid and vapour contain some potentially harmful chemicals also found in cigarette smoke, but at a much lower level.”

There are also concerns that non-smokers could become addicted to the nicotine in they contain.

How often do you vape, and when did you take it up? Did you smoke before you started, and are you vaping to help you quit? Have you had any issues, if so what are they? What type of vaping devices do you use? Has your use of vapes changed over time?
