Did you know that the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) — one of the most respected public health bodies in the world — officially supports vaping as a quitting tool for adult smokers?
🔞 18+ Only. This information is intended for adults making informed decisions about harm reduction.
🇬🇧 What Does the NHS Say?
The NHS website makes it clear: for adult smokers who can't quit using traditional nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs), vaping is a safer alternative — and may be more effective.
"While not risk-free, vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking and can help you quit for good."
— NHS.UK
🧠 Why Vaping Helps
- ⚡ Provides nicotine without the deadly toxins in smoke
- 💨 Mimics the hand-to-mouth action of smoking — helping with cravings
- 📉 May double your chances of quitting vs using patches or gum alone
⛔ What the NHS Warns
- ❌ Vapes are not risk-free
- ❌ They are only for adults who smoke
- ✅ The goal is to eventually stop using all nicotine products
🇿🇦 Why This Matters in South Africa
Millions of South Africans still smoke — and many believe the myth that vaping is “just as bad.” That’s not what the science says. Shipwreck Vapes supports honest harm reduction, based on facts, not fear.
