Vaping is when, instead of inhaling smoke, users inhale a vapour.
This vapour is created when a liquid is heated up in a device known as a vape.
How does vaping work?

Vaping liquids can include nicotine, but also CBD oil and marijuana.
The liquids are often flavoured too, usually with fruity, sweet flavours.
Joanna said: “There are two potential avenues for cravings: chemical (nicotine) and behavioural (the act of smoking).”

“Try to take yourself away from triggering situations or to a place where you cannot smoke.
“Consider phoning or texting a friend and practising deep breathing.”
