Technologies are now a fundamental part of our daily lives. A similar argument can also be applied to electronic cigarettes. These devices, not surprisingly, are spreading a bit in all the countries of the Old Continent, including Italy. There are several advantages linked to e-cigs, not least that concerning savings. In this guide, therefore, we will go into more detail on the data and numbers relating to e-cigs in Europe, together with the aforementioned economic issue.
The spread of e-cigs in Europe and other useful information
E-cigarette users are on the rise in Europe. The figures obviously vary by country. To give a first concrete example, in Great Britain and Ireland, approximately 50% of smokers use e-cigs, while in France the percentage reaches around 30%. In Italy , however, the number of users is approximately 11,5 million. As mentioned, these numbers are increasing, although progress is slower in Italy than in other European countries.
Among the reasons that have driven this spread, as anticipated above, there are also economic ones. The prices of traditional cigarettes are constantly increasing, and for 2023 in Italy a further increase of about 10% is expected. According to experts' estimates, also based on the increase in excise duties, we are talking about an average cost of 36 euros for 1.000 cigarettes, which will gradually increase until 2025, reaching about 37 euros. It goes without saying, therefore, that the e-cig market is destined to grow further, exceeding the current national average value of 500 million euros.
The economic savings related to the use of electronic cigarettes
E-cigs offer several advantages when compared directly to traditional cigarettes. First and foremost, there's the aforementioned cost savings. Therefore, by opting for e-cigarettes and choosing some of the devices currently available on the market, such as the Pulze models , you can reduce your costs. Specifically, averages indicate a savings of approximately 50% when comparing the cost of kits and liquids to purchasing packets. Naturally, everything depends on the vaper's habits, so these figures may vary based on the situation and routines related to tobacco and/or e-cig use.
As mentioned, however, saving money is not the only factor that pushes many people to switch to electronic cigarettes. In fact, the latter also have other advantages. To give a concrete example, these devices can first of all help reduce exposure to nicotine, for example by gradually lowering the percentage of this substance contained in liquids. Furthermore, they allow you to live a different experience, also linked to the large amount of essences available on the market, from vanilla to coconut, through tobacco. Finally, e-cigs do not produce bad odors, so they can also be used at home.
