Share this @internewscast.com

A ban on vaping took effect on June 1, prohibiting the sale and supply of all single-use vapes. The new law applies to both in-store and online transactions. Retailers in England who violate the ban face a minimum fine of £200, with repeat offenders potentially facing up to two years in prison. Similar penalties are in place across Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Although selling disposable vapes is now prohibited, personal possession remains legal. However, for those looking to quit vapin amid the ban, the NHS has listed five common withdrawal symptoms to be aware of.

In its warning before it lists the signs and symptoms, it cautions: “You may experience withdrawal symptoms when you quit nicotine vapes. This might make you want to reach for a cigarette. You should only quit vaping if you are confident you can do it without smoking cigarettes.”

Vaping withdrawals – what to expect when quitting

When you stop using nicotine vapes, your body may respond as it adjusts to the absence of nicotine. While reactions vary from person to person, common withdrawal symptoms typically include:

  • finding it hard to sleep
  • the urge to smoke or vape more
  • feeling low
  • feeling irritible
  • trouble concentrating
  • feeling hungrier than usual

Finding it hard to quit?

If you’re struggling to cut down or quit vaping, you’re not alone and in fact, this is a common experience. The NHS encourages people to stop vaping for their own reasons, rather than due to pressure from others. It suggests: “Check your e-liquid’s nicotine content (mg/ml) and gradually reduce it over time, paying attention to how you feel. If you find yourself vaping more, it may be a sign that you’ve reduced your nicotine level too quickly. Only cut down when you’re ready.”

You can also try changing how often you do it. For example, “if you normally vape every 20 minutes, try to extend that time and only vape every 40 minutes instead. Over time, this will reduce your cravings.” The NHS concludes: “Remember, quitting vaping can be tough and taking it step by step can help you reach your goal.” You can find out more about how to stop vaping and support options here.
