You can reduce your need for snacks with vaping

While vaping remains one of the most effective ways for people to quit smoking, there is also reason to believe that vaping can also help reduce the intake of sweets and other junk foods.

Traditional cigarette smokers are excited about this news, especially when they quit, most of them gain weight. Now, with the introduction of e- liquids with different nicotine levels and flavors, smokers can add a benefit to vaping that helps them curb their cravings for snacks.

In an article published on Motherboard last week, James Price, a former heavy smoker who now vapes, was interviewed about his findings of a correlation between vaping and reduced cravings for snacks.

After twenty years of smoking cigarettes every day, Price noticed that he lost weight after switching to vaping. He lost a total of six pounds using candy-flavored e-cigarette liquids and has kept his weight stable since quitting smoking.

“It was probably about a year later that I realized I was replacing snacking with vaping,” Price told Motherboard contributor Kaleigh Rogers over the phone. “I’m a snacker, really, and I realized that whenever I had a craving for a snack, I would just do it without thinking. I’d want candy, and I’d grab a bottle of e-juice that I’d mixed instead of candy.”

Vapers all over the world have been talking about how vaping candy or food-flavored e-liquids has helped them curb their snack cravings. Most of these stories can be found on forums and message boards, where people talk about how they changed their daily snacking habits after experimenting with different e-liquids.

There’s not much information or research to back up the idea that candy-flavored e-liquids will curb cravings. But a study that looked at the importance of vaping for smokers to try different flavors seems to be a motivating factor in curbing cravings. People who vaped different flavors instead of smoking lost weight and kept it off after they actually quit.

But it seems that this is not the case for all vapers. Some vapers have reported that overly sweet e-liquids make them crave more food than they already do. This means that more research and testing will be needed to truly understand the impact of candy and sweet e-liquids on vaping and cravings.

Understanding the relationship between vapers and the sweet flavors they enjoy is important, especially since sweet flavors often have a bad reputation and have been used against the vaping industry by legal analysts.

Lawmakers and anti-vaping advocates have argued that sweet-flavored e-liquids are designed to appeal to children, and while birthday cake-flavored e-liquids do appeal to kids, they should also realize that even adults like candy. That hasn’t stopped public health advocates from trying to ban candy-flavored e-liquids, but thankfully the Office of Management and Budget dropped the ban in its final order for vaping.

But for the majority of vapers, the flavors do help reduce their cravings for snacks and cigarettes. While it’s important to be cautious about kids trying sweet flavors, it’s also important to weigh the pros and cons for everyone. And if sweet flavors really do help people quit smoking and snack less, then more research is needed to prove it.
