Switching from Smoking to Vaping: A Practical Guide

This guide is for adults who currently smoke. If you don't smoke or vape, don't start. Vaping products contain nicotine, a highly addictive chemical (Health Canada).

1. Choose a simple device

An MTL pod kit or a disposable gives a cigarette-like draw.

2. Match your nicotine

Many pack-a-day smokers start with 20 mg/mL nic salt, the maximum in Canada. Lighter smokers may prefer a lower strength. See nic salt vs freebase.

3. Try a few flavours

Tobacco and mint are common starting points. Many people later move to fruit flavours.

4. Get support
