How do they work?

The cartridges in therapeutic vapes come prefilled with a flavoured nicotine liquid – they simply connect to the top of the device (either by clicking on or via magnets), and your vape is ready to use.

The key difference between therapeutic vapes and cigarettes is that vapes do not burn tobacco which you inhale, which is where most of the harm of smoking originates from.

The action of using a therapeutic vape is really no different to smoking a traditional cigarette (minus the lighter/matches and the associated harms from tobacco smoke).

Here’s a quick rundown of how to use a therapeutic vape:

1. Bring the therapeutic vape to your lips
2. Draw firmly through the mouthpiece for around two seconds
3. Remove it from your mouth and inhale deeply, followed by a slow exhalation

Therapeutic vapes are specifically designed to replicate the familiar hand-to-mouth motion, inhale/exhale action, and other behavioural elements that you are used to from smoking.

This can really help in easing your transition away from smoking by retaining the familiar experience you’re used to, especially at key times when you usually crave a cigarette, like:

1. During work breaks
2. With your morning coffee
3. Having a drink with friends
