Learn more with hub.health
As with any substance addition, there is no one cause for someone to start vaping.
Research points towards many ex-smokers taking up vaping as what they say is a healthier alternative to smoking. Get access to quit vaping treatments today with hub.health.
One of the most well-known differences between vaping and smoking is that e-cigarettes do not contain the harmful tobacco that is found in traditional cigarette products.
Vape products use a battery operated system that warms the internal e-liquid to be vaporised and inhaled by the user.
Why do people vape?
Although the e-liquid used in vaping devices does not contain tobacco, it still contains nicotine – a harmful and addictive substance.

While there is no one specific cause for vaping, some of the most common reasons why might vape include:
- Peer pressure
- Cheaper cost than cigarettes
- No tobacco
- More discreet than smoking
- Flavour profile
- No residual smell or staining
- Misinformation
- Self-medication
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Social surroundings
- Parental influence
- Media influence
