If va**ng was really designed to help people Stop Smoking they would only be available in to***co flavour.
I see as many clients who want to Stop Va**ng as clients who want to Stop Smoking now.
Many are concerned that their children are attracted by the sweet smells.
We know there are likely long-term side effects of va**ng, but it's the only time I've seen this.

A woman claims va**ng has left her with two "black" front teeth. 😲🦷
Stacey Gardiner, 41, has splashed out £17,200 since taking up the habit in December 2017. 💰
She would get through five v**es weekly and occasionally finished a standard 600-puff device in a single day, forking out £120 a month.
She initially spotted a dark mark at the top of her front right tooth five years ago in August 2021, though it "didn't occur" to her what might be causing it – and it has now spread to cover the tops of both front teeth.
Following an emergency dental visit last year, Stacey says she raised concerns about her two front teeth with the dentist - who suggested the deterioration was probably "down to va**ng". 💨
Stacey has remained on the waiting list for her local NHS dentist for more than five years, with her last check-up taking place a decade ago.
She quit "cold turkey" six months ago after recognising it was "just a habit" and she "didn't actually enjoy it". ❌
She discovered Nicorette patches prescribed by her GP were not proving effective and spent £200 on clip-in veneers to conceal her damaged teeth.
Having regained her "smile back", Stacey believes there's insufficient awareness surrounding the harm v**es can inflict on teeth and hopes to alert "young people" to the potential risks. 👏
She reckons there's "more focus" on v**es being damaging to people's lungs rather than dental harm like she's experienced.
She said: "I don't think v**es causing damage to teeth, there is enough awareness about that.
"They start va**ng younger now. If it was a 15-year-old they could be in the same position I'm in by the age of 20, and I don't think there is enough awareness, like how dangerous the sweetness and residue leaves on teeth."
NHS Better Health acknowledges that va**ng "poses a small fraction of the risks of smoking", while also stressing that v**es remain unregulated and their precise contents are largely unknown.
The health body stated: "All products for sale must be notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) with detailed information including listing of all ingredients.
"Always buy your va**ng products from a reputable supplier like a specialist v**e shop, pharmacy, supermarket or a UK-based online retailer so they are covered by UK safety and quality regulations."
