Quitting smoking is a process, and not every step of that process is going to be smooth. You will notice the withdrawal symptoms and effects of nicotine cravings as you continue to abstain from days and weeks and months. But what you may have wondered about why you are coughing so much. Some people assume that once they stop smoking, they will stop coughing, as coughing is often a byproduct of inhaling smoke regularly. This is known as smoker’s cough. But what about the cough that starts appearing after you stop smoking? That is a different kind of cough altogether. This cough is a result of your body healing, and it is natural for your body to react like this. You see, as the nicotine leaves your system and your…

An increasing number of marijuana or cannabis users are now accepting the use of its derivatives which is commonly referred to as concentrates, oils, and extracts. This may sound simple but some people may not be conversant with these terms. These terms: oil, concentrate, and extract are all used to describe the oil coming from a hemp plant. Although a bit confusing, these words describe effective marijuana oil used for vaping and vaporizing. There about three oils which are considered here: Hemp Oil – This refers to hemp seed oil coming from the seed of the hemp plant itself. The seeds of the hemp plant are a byproduct of hemp production. CBD Oil – Alternatively called cannabidiol, it is a collective term for oils made from the hemp plant which do not…

Vape tanks—especially large-capacity, high-wattage tanks used with sub-ohm coils—are often marketed as a premium, smoother, and more satisfying vaping experience. Bigger clouds, longer sessions, and stronger flavor are framed as benefits. But from a health and behavior standpoint, large vape tanks quietly make nicotine dependence harder to break and increase cumulative lung damage over time. This article explores the often-overlooked ways large vape tanks intensify harm, even among users who believe they are moderating or reducing risk. 1. Bigger Tanks Mean Longer, More Frequent Exposure Large tanks hold significantly more e-liquid—sometimes 5 to 10 mL or more—which changes behavior in subtle but powerful ways: Fewer refills remove natural stopping points Users take more frequent, unconscious puffs Sessions last longer without perceived “overuse” Consumption increases without clear awareness With small devices,…

Smoking is so common, and not to mention legal, that most people don’t ever know that the nicotine that gives cigarettes their kick is actually a poison and nerve toxin. Nicotine is the substance in tobacco that makes cigarettes so physically addictive. By itself, it tastes bitter and unpleasant. In addition to causing cravings and physical dependency, nicotine can also be deadly. In its purest form, nicotine is so toxic that it’s commonly used as an insecticide. Although an average cigarette contains 10 mg of nicotine, most smokers only consume 1 to 2 mg of nicotine per cigarette as a result of smoking. And while the amount of nicotine exposure an average smoker receives falls within the safe limits, it actually doesn’t take much to reach the point at which…

Pretty much everyone understands that smoking cigarettes leads to cancer. Most people also know that cigarettes contain nicotine. Numerous Surgeon general’s warnings and “stop smoking” campaigns have made it clear that nicotine is dangerous and smoking causes cancer. But does nicotine cause cancer? The answer is no, it does not. Nicotine has an entirely different negative effect on the body and is not directly related to the cancer-causing properties of cigarettes. All that nicotine usually does is cause addiction. If there is too much nicotine in the body, an overdose may occur. Too little nicotine causes withdrawal symptoms. But it isn’t actually responsible for cancer. You can blame that on tar. This is the sticky, black substance in cigarettes that provides the bulk of the product’s flavor. If cigarette manufacturers…

A few years ago, there was a lot of buzz about a quit smoking shot. It made a lot of headlines because it was supposed to be a huge breakthrough that could end nicotine addiction forever...if it worked. We're going to quickly look into this technology, what it is, and why we haven't heard much about it in a few years.
