The original use of the vape was to help nicotine-addicted cigarette-users, eventually quit nicotine altogether, and it has been shown to work, even emitting less chemicals than the aforementioned cigarettes. In the article "Should Vaping Be Banned" from The Week Junior, our author states:
"Research shows that people are twice as likely to quit smoking cigarettes if they use vapes. And vapes don’t produce as many harmful substances as traditional tobacco cigarettes do."
Emphasizing our last point, the article "The Adverse effects of Vaping in Young People", by Judith Meehan (and others), states:
"E-cigarettes are extremely effective at assisting smokers in reducing or quitting smoking permanently. According to the most recent data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on smoking habits in the UK, more than half of smokers want to quit, and the most common reason for using e-cigarettes is to help reduce or quit smoking. Smoking e-cigarettes is also nearly twice as effective as traditional nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs), which include nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, inhalers, and other "traditional" smoking cessation aids. According to a study conducted in collaboration with NHS smoking cessation services, 18% of e-cigarette users in a group of smokers who attempted to quit quit stopped smoking after one year, compared to 9.9 percent of traditional NRT users"
