How it works
Devices or pods per day = puffs per day ÷ puffs per device. Money saved = devices per day × price × days since you quit. Nicotine avoided = devices × liquid (ml) × strength (mg/ml).
Defaults follow local rules: the UK and France start on refillable pods because single-use vapes are banned, Australia limits nicotine vapes to pharmacies, Japan does not sell nicotine e-liquid, and India bans e-cigarette sales.
| Country | Rules (2025) |
|---|---|
| India | Sale and import banned since 2019 |
| United Kingdom | Single-use vapes banned from June 2025 |
| France | Disposable vapes banned in 2025 |
| Australia | Nicotine vapes through pharmacies only |
| Japan | Nicotine e-liquid not sold |
Common questions
What happens when you quit vaping?
Heart rate and blood pressure begin to settle within minutes. Nicotine drops sharply in the first day and is largely cleared within about 3 days, when cravings often peak. Sleep, mood and breathing usually improve over the following weeks.
How long does nicotine withdrawal from vaping last?
The worst symptoms usually last 3 to 7 days and fade over 2 to 4 weeks. Cravings can return now and then for a few months.
What are vaping withdrawal symptoms?
They are the same as nicotine withdrawal from cigarettes: cravings, irritability, anxiety, trouble sleeping, poor concentration and more appetite. Some people notice a cough for a few weeks as the airways recover.
Is it OK to quit vaping cold turkey?
Many people stop vaping all at once and manage well. If you vape heavily or have tried before and relapsed, nicotine patches or gum can ease the first weeks. A pharmacist can suggest a starting dose.
How much money does vaping cost per year?
Divide your daily puffs by the puffs in one device or pod, multiply by the price and by 365. One $20 disposable every 5,000 puffs at 300 puffs a day costs about $440 a year; heavier use costs much more.
Is vaping legal in my country?
It depends. India bans e-cigarette sales, the UK and France have banned disposable vapes, Australia sells nicotine vapes only in pharmacies and Japan does not sell nicotine e-liquid. Check current local law.
Can nicotine patches or gum help me quit vaping?
Yes. Nicotine replacement can ease withdrawal while you stop vaping. A pharmacist or doctor can help you choose a dose that matches your use.
