Vaping has been on a steady rise as a popular alternative to cigarettes, shisha, and other conventional forms of smoking. With people choosing this more convenient and somewhat healthier alternative for years now, it’s interesting to look at how the vape culture in the UK has grown.
Let’s take a look at what’s happening in 2021 and how the culture has evolved from recent years to where it is now:
It’s growing steadily among adults
Although vaping remains at a steady 5.5% to 6.3% for adults in the UK, it’s growing as more and more people begin to use vapes for different purposes. Given that vapes offer nicotine without harmful ingredients like tar and tobacco, it’s often used as an effective way to quit smoking, especially in the UK, where stringent laws also cap the amount of nicotine per mL. It’s generally less harmful than traditional smoking, which is why it remains an ever-popular option.
There’s a greater appreciation of vaping for pleasure
Vaping started off as a popular alternative to smoking cigarettes; however, as attitudes change, there’s a greater exploration of vaping for pleasure. As incredible variety in flavours emerges, all sorts of devices and accessories are introduced, and there’s a lot for consumers to choose from; it’s unsurprising that there is a shift. Vape subcultures in the UK are increasingly becoming focused on vaping as a status symbol or fashion accessory of sorts.
Advertising e-cigarettes is still discouraged
At a governmental and regulatory level, however, it’s still not possible to advertise or market vapes to the general public via radio or TV. However, word of mouth, social exchanges, and other mediums of exposure remain strong. People continue to invest in products and explore all sorts of options that come their way.
