E-cigarette wholesale business is increasing day by day. Vaping can be very addictive. One thing that makes it addictive is nicotine. The nature of nicotine is that it makes its consumer habitual of its consumption in the long run. People claim that they can stop themselves to not get addicted to nicotine. But historically maximum people get addicted to nicotine once they start consuming it in any of its forms.

Fundamentally, the vaping industry is flourishing on the premise that those who go for vaping have a tendency to quit smoking. Data is supporting their premise. 54% of people who were smokers and came to vaping, quit smoking in the first two years of their usage of e-cigarettes.

There can be three reasons that e-cigarettes are becoming addictive in communities. 1) One is taking it as a habitual activity for non-smokers for fun. 2) Second is vaping for fun. 3) The third is a nicotine consumption appeal for more usage of e-cigarettes.

Recently it is reported that there is a considerable increase in the number of vapers in the UK. Most of the vapers were previously non-smokers. Most of the new vapers are youngsters. That shows that the vaping industry is getting a new line of customers who are directly coming to vaping instead of coming from the smoking community to the vaping community. That shows that vaping has also tended to produce habitual usage. It can be addictive.

Another element of addiction in it is to do it for fun. E-cigarettes have become part of the life of many people to just show off and having experience of smoking. There are legislations on vaping advertisements. Nobody who has less age than twenty-five years can come in advertisements for vaping in the UK. No major influencers can perform in advertisements for vaping. In this way, the UK government is trying to discourage usage of e-cigarettes just out of fun and particularly of young people.

Few vaping companies claim that they do not have nicotine in their e-cigarettes. But their claim can be wrong. Nicotine is present in whatsoever form it has in most of the e-cigarettes. Few companies are using a flavor of different fruits that contain fractions of nicotine. It is generally accepted that nicotine becomes a cause of addiction to certain ways to consume this element. It is not proven yet. It is because those people, who used to smoke a lot, quit smoking after doing vaping for a few months.

There can be a number of other factors that make it addictive. People get attracted to it for no use. Just for the sake of fun or to show off or to vape out of their habitual need or to have nicotine. It can be said that mostly due to marketing strategies that vaping companies use to commercialize their products in potential buyers can be one of the fundamental factors due to which more people are going for vaping and remaining in vaping community and recognized as e-cigarette additives.
