Are vaping and weight loss connected? We’ve all heard the rumors: vaping <\/a>is the latest weight-loss craze. But is there any truth to this, or is it just another fad diet destined for the dustbin of history? Let’s take a deep dive and see what the science says.<\/p>

Remember all those wacky diet trends of the past? The 70s had the questionable white wine and egg diet, the 80s brought us the grapefruit craze (which was actually an oldie from the 30s!), and the 90s and 2000s saw the Atkins diet rise and fall. Is vaping destined to become the “diet” of the 2020s?<\/p>

Here at Snowman, we develop vaping products to help people quit smoking, and not shed pounds. But that doesn’t stop us from being curious! So, can vaping help you lose weight, and if so, why?<\/p>

That doesn’t mean you can live off cake and cookies, though! Aim for nutritious foods and drinks to fuel your body.<\/p>

Vapes come in all sorts of delicious flavors, so it’s natural to wonder if they pack a caloric punch. The good news? The sweeteners used in our vape liquids are calorie-free. Plus, the vegetable glycerine, while containing calories, has such a minimal amount it won’t affect your waistline. Interestingly, a study <\/a>in England found that one in 22 vapers use them for weight control, and one in 50 even skip meals or snacks in favor of vaping. While the sweeteners aren’t the answer, could it be the nicotine in vapes <\/a>that contributes to weight loss?<\/p>
