Am I considered a smoker if I vape but have never smoked before?
Dear reader,
This is a great question that many people have asked before. The answer is not as straightforward as you might think. Let me explain.
First, let's define what it means to be a smoker. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a smoker is someone who has smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. So, if you have never smoked before, you are not considered a smoker. However, the transition from smoking to vaping can be a complex process, as discussed in our guide to transitioning from smoking to vaping.
However, if you are using a vape device that contains nicotine, you are still considered a nicotine user. Nicotine is an addictive substance that is found in both cigarettes and vape devices. So, even if you have never smoked before, if you are using a vape device that contains nicotine, you are still a nicotine user.
That being said, there is a difference between being a smoker and a vape user. Vaping is considered to be a healthier alternative to smoking because it does not involve the combustion of tobacco, which produces harmful chemicals. Vaping also allows users to control the amount of nicotine they consume, which can be helpful for those who are trying to quit smoking.
If you are new to vaping, it is important to understand the different types of vape devices and the various e-liquids that are available. Our beginner's guide to vaping can provide you with the necessary information. There are many local vape shops that can help you find the right device and e-liquid for your needs.

In conclusion, if you have never smoked before but are using a vape device that contains nicotine, you are not considered a smoker but a nicotine user. Vaping is considered to be a healthier alternative to smoking, and there are many resources available to help you find the right vape device and e-liquid for your needs.
