Some people vape to quit smoking, while younger people have been vaping more and more in recent years.

Jo-Anne Douglas, tobacco dependence councillor, doesn’t think it’s good to start vaping if you don’t smoke because of all the chemicals.

Douglas says if you’re trying to quit smoking and you think it will work, try it.

“There’s no evidence it helps to quit smoking. But, there is some evidence that it is safer than smoking.”

She recommends to those quitting smoking to try traditional methods first, and put vaping at the bottom of the list.
