What is the Cigarette Equivalent of an Elf Bar?
Elf Bars are famous for being small, easy to use, and flavorful. They are a leading brand in disposable vapes. But how do they stack up against traditional cigarettes? Specifically, how many cigarettes are equivalent to an Elf Bar?
In this blog, we’ll delve deeper into this comparison. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of Elf Bars and whether they might be a good option for you if you’re a smoker looking to switch to vaping.
One of the biggest similarities between cigarettes and Elf Bars is that they both contain nicotine.
The most popular model, the Elf Bar 600, is available in varying nicotine strengths. At TABlites, we stock the Elf Bar 600 in the following nicotine levels:
- 0mg
- 20mg
Using the 20mg Elf Bar 600 is equivalent to smoking 20 to 25 cigarettes. However, this can vary depending on the Elf Bar model and nicotine strength. While the number may seem surprising, it doesn’t directly translate to the health impact of vaping
First, let’s discuss the ingredients of traditional cigarettes. Tobacco cigarettes contain:
- Nicotine
- Carbon monoxide
- Tar
- Fillers
- Flavourings
- Tobacco leaf varieties
- Additives
- Other carcinogenic or toxic substances
The only real similarity between an e-cigarette and a traditional cigarette is the nicotine. When we say an Elf Bar 600 with 20mg of nicotine salt equals 20 to 25 cigarettes, we’re talking about its nicotine content.
An Elf Bar 600 delivers up to 600 puffs, spreading the nicotine content of 20 to 25 cigarettes across these puffs. This means you get the same nicotine hit without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.
Are Elf Bars Safer than Cigarettes?
An e-cigarette like an Elf Bar offers safety advantages over smoking a pack of cigarettes. While vaping still affects the lungs, it is healthier than smoking based on current evidence.
Quitting smoking is the best thing for your health, and vaping can help you achieve that. Vaping is considered an effective method to quit smoking, making you twice as likely to succeed compared to other nicotine replacement products.
Nicotine content
An Elf Bar 600 contains 20mg of nicotine salts, making it a good replacement for tobacco cigarettes. This strength is ideal for heavy smokers, as it replicates the nicotine hit from smoking over a pack a day. It’s recommended for new vapers transitioning from smoking.
Other chemicals
Cigarette smoke contains over 7000 chemicals, with 250 being harmful and at least 69 carcinogenic, including naphthalene and arsenic. These harmful chemicals are not found in e-cigarettes. While vapes do contain other substances like flavorings, vegetable glycerin, and propylene glycol, they are much less harmful than those in tobacco products.
Second-hand vaping vs. secondhand smoking
Secondhand and sidestream smoke from cigarettes contain over 4000 toxins and irritants, which can harm nearby people. Secondhand smoke affects everyone around you.
Vaping doesn’t produce tobacco smoke, and while research on secondhand vapor is limited, it is generally considered much safer than secondhand smoke.
The long-term effects of smoking vs vaping
Many studies show that smoking is dangerous, especially long-term, while research on long-term vaping is limited. However, current evidence suggests vaping is a safer alternative with many benefits over time. Smoking is linked to at least 15 types of cancer, making vaping a healthier option.
Can You Get Nicotine-Free Vapes?
Yes, nicotine-free disposable vapes with 0mg nicotine, including Elf Bar models, are available. These are best for vapers who have already quit smoking and are nearing the end of their vaping journey.
If you’re new to vaping and transitioning from cigarettes, a vape with higher nicotine is recommended to ease the transition. You can gradually reduce nicotine levels as your cravings lessen.
While nicotine-free vapes won’t give the same high as those with more nicotine, they can still provide a mild lightheaded sensation.
