The number of cigarettes equivalent to a disposable vape varies depending on several factors, such as the nicotine content of the vape and the way it is used. Generally, disposable vapes often provide information like “equal to a pack of cigarettes” on their packaging. Here’s a general breakdown:
- **Nicotine Content:** A typical cigarette contains about 8-20 mg of nicotine, but not all of it is absorbed by the smoker. On average, a smoker absorbs about 1-2 mg of nicotine per cigarette.
- **Puff Count:** Many disposable vapes are marketed as having between 200 and 800 puffs. A single cigarette generally equates to about 10-15 puffs.
- **Comparison:** Therefore, a disposable vape advertised as having 200 puffs might be considered roughly equivalent to 13-20 cigarettes (depending on individual smoking habits and the nicotine concentration).
Since vaping and smoking are different in terms of how nicotine is delivered and absorbed, these comparisons are only approximate.
