If you’re thinking about quitting vaping, then this might encourage you to do it.

While e-cigarettes were introduced as a healthier alternative to smoking, many people who didn’t smoke in the first place have taken up the habit.

In 2024, it was reported that one million people in the UK who said they vaped had never regularly smoked previously.

Yes, some evidence has shown that vaping is a better alternative to smoking tobacco products, but for people like those one million Brits who were never serial smokers in the first place, they’re still exposing themselves to harmful chemicals.

“By the second day, your risk of having a heart attack decreases significantly since your blood pressure starts to lower,” Dr Durl continued to share.

Then, by day three, the nicotine will have fully left your system. While is is good health wise, this is likely when withdrawal symptoms will ‘peak’.

Dr Durl warned: “You may have difficulty concentrating, and you may pair that with low mood.”

Fast forward to day 15 and your blood circulation will have improved and ‘you’ll be able to notice better lung function, heart function, and ever muscle circulation’.

“By a month, your lung capacity will have fully bounced back,” Dr Durl continued.

“You’ll see a huge improvement in shortness of breath and less coughing.

“By two months, cilia, which clears out mucus and reduce infection in the lungs, will begin to grow and function normally.”

Then, by day 90, your blood vessels will reportedly have returned to a ‘normal diameter’, which will increase blood flow; and better blood flow can help with things like erectile dysfunction, heart problems and lung problems.

So, basically, if you wanted a sign to quit vaping — this is it.
