Why More Smokers Are Switching to Vaping in 2026 - And How The Vape Escape Can Help
If you’ve ever tried quitting smoking, you’ll know it’s not exactly a walk in the park. From cravings to habits to that “just one more” mindset, stopping smoking can feel overwhelming.
That’s why more adults across the UK are turning to vaping - and why trusted retailers like The Vape Escape are playing a key role in helping people make the switch.
At The Vape Escape, we specialise in everything vaping-related, from premium vape liquids and starter kits to CBD products and IQOS tobacco kits and sticks.
With a growing online store and 25 physical locations across South Wales and England (and more opening soon!), we’ve built a reputation as a go-to destination for adult vapers - whether you’re brand new or a seasoned pro.
Vaping as a Smoking Alternative
One of the main reasons people explore vaping is as an alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.
While vaping isn’t risk-free, many adult smokers find it a helpful tool when trying to move away from tobacco.
The ability to control nicotine levels, choose flavours, and find a device that suits your lifestyle can make the transition feel far more manageable.
At The Vape Escape, we’re passionate about education and choice. Everyone’s journey is different, so our range includes:
Whether you’re cutting down, switching over completely, or just exploring alternatives, our knowledgeable team is always on hand to help.

Staying Ahead in a Fast-Moving Industry
The vaping industry moves quickly - from regulations and compliance to new products and innovations.
That’s why we stay informed through trusted industry bodies and associations, ensuring we always operate responsibly and keep our customers in the know.
We’re also mindful of what we don’t do. We never market nicotine products to under-18s, and we follow strict UK advertising guidelines. It’s all part of being a responsible retailer that customers can trust.
