Vaping was changing from the outset. Created as a way to taper off addictions to nicotine and tobacco products, vapes are now used regularly by nearly two percent of Americans (per the Annals of Internal Medicine, 2018). Vaping batteries are often rechargeable, and so too is the habit of vaping itself. New products and devices come around seemingly multiple times a year, and the tide is always changing. Here are three factors that are essential to the future of vaping.

Increasing Demand

Increased awareness of intoxication from young demographics turns vaping into an end-all destination. Even those who take up smoking cigarettes at a young age may be turned off by those health risks, and then turn to vape as a healthier habit. The vape industry's projected growth through the next few years is an astounding 23.8%, and local vape shops are benefitting immensely from the growing exposure. With many flavors to choose from, and numerous device options from e-cigs to the latest new trend, the only things vape shops will be selling consistently are vaping batteries.

Online Vape Shops

This outlet seems to be a popular destination for those at a young age. It is quite viable for those still trying to keep their vaping habits from parents, guardians, and siblings. By ordering vaping supplies online, they don't have to risk making time to go to the physical store. Many local vape shops are also establishing an online presence to compete with larger retailers.

Advanced Technology

The cherry on top of each new vaping device is the way it seems to transform its control over vapor. New flavors, textures, and sensations are all marketable values that keep replacing the old with the new, but also leave room for customers to expand their repertoires of vaping devices. From the original electronic cigarettes to Juuls to disposable Hydes, the industry is riding the wave of change. This is an extremely valuable strategy when appealing to teenagers who are caught up in being a part of the latest trends.

The side effects of vaping are noteworthy given that they drastically impact mental health. Although their intention was turned on its head, there are still many former cigarette smokers who are now living healthy lives lowering their nicotine intake every day. If you or a loved one are struggling with cigarettes, consider vaping as a way to slowly ease out into abstinence.
