Smoking and vaping
Vapes are electronic devices that allow you to inhale nicotine instead of smoke. Research suggests that nicotine vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking. It is also a very effective tool to quit smoking.
This allows individuals to continue their regular hand-to-mouth action. Although vaping is less harmful than smoking, it is best to use vaping as a way to completely stop smoking.
How to dispose of vapes
It's important to dispose of vapes safely. Vapes contain powerful lithium batteries which can cause fires if mixed with household waste.
You can find your nearest place to dispose of vapes on the Recycle Your Electricals website.
