IS VAPING ADDICTIVE?

Vuse is all about giving you more freedom and that’s why our flavours are available in varying nicotine strengths. But, before you start vaping, it's extremely important that you read up on any possible risks or side effects, including whether or not it is addictive.

The fact is the more you smoke, the more your brain and body get used to having nicotine and the harder it is to go without it. Some signs that you might be addicted to nicotine include:

• Continuing to smoke even though you want to stop.
• Being unable to quit when you try to.
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms if you try to stop, including feeling anxious or irritable, or having headaches.
• Strong urges to smoke.

If you decide to switch from smoking to vaping, you need to remain aware of the amount of nicotine you consume whilst you find the ideal nicotine strength for you.

The side effects associated with consuming too much nicotine can include the development of an irregular heartbeat; an allergic reactions such as a rash; itching or swelling of the tongue, mouth or throat; feeling faint; nausea; and/or headaches. Immediately stop using Vuse products and seek medical advice if you experience any of these symptoms

Since it is the nicotine that makes vaping addictive, nicotine-free vaping is not chemically addictive. Nevertheless, over time you could form a vaping habit.

Vuse offers a range of “Zero Nic” products that don’t contain nicotine at all.

Vaping without nicotine is a good option if you still feel like you need to inhale something even once you’ve completely removed nicotine. This action, and its similarity to smoking, is one of the reasons so many people choose vaping to quit smoking over other nicotine replacement therapies like patches and gum.

*This product is not risk-free and contains nicotine, an addictive substance. Vuse's claims are based on a comparison of smoke from a scientific standard reference cigarette (which contains approximately 9 mg tar) and the emissions from a Vuse ePod. This comparison looked at the average levels of 9 harmful components, as identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO recommends reducing these 9 components in cigarette smoke to reduce harm.
