The smell of cigarette smoke is one of the most notorious dealbreakers in the dating scene—and for good reason. It is notoriously difficult to get rid of, especially among regular smokers. It can linger on the clothes, fingers, and mouth even hours after the last cigarette.
Most notably, even the smell of cigarettes is enough for potential partners to deny people a chance entirely. 25% of people aged 25 to 30 believe that dating a smoker is more difficult, with over 14% of people aged 21 to 29 outright saying that smoking is a dealbreaker.
However, smokers have a more palatable option: RELX devices. In nearly all age groups (73.4% in ages 18–24, 65.4% in ages 25–39, and 77.2% in ages 40 up), people are more likely to report that vaping has helped them quit smoking. I have even known chain smokers who have managed to quit smoking upon introduction to RELX devices, and it is because of the following reasons:
1. It’s a Lot More Convenient
The compact size of the RELX devices, like the RELX Infinity 2, makes it easier to keep in your pockets than packs of cigarettes. Its 440mAh battery can also last a user a whole day. More than that, it is also capable of fast charging through a Type C cable for easy compatibility. The pods are also readily available at many locations and are small enough to be kept in the pockets.
RELX devices also remove much of the apprehension when it comes to choosing a vaping device. Before RELX came into the scene, vapers essentially had to source their parts individually and build their devices from scratch. Now, they just have to choose just two things: the device and the flavour.
There are also many accessories users can choose from, such as special cases, lanyards, and straps to keep their devices and pods safely in their pockets.
2. There Are Many Flavour Options
Preferences are highly subjective, but RELX provides a wide variety of flavour options for its devices. Among some of its popular flavours are Fresh Red, Black Iced Tea, Lychee Ice, and many more. There are even tobacco flavours that mimic cigarettes to a certain extent without having the lingering scent of cigarette smoke that many people hate.
The beauty of this incredible array of options is that there are flavours for every person and season! If you get tired of one particular flavour, it’s easy enough to change to another without having to buy a new device.
3. The Nicotine Levels are Customisable
One of the most important considerations in quitting smoking is dealing with the sudden drop in nicotine. Luckily, the RELX pods come in a variety of nicotine levels for those hoping to manage their nicotine levels.
Heavy smokers, especially, might have more difficulty giving up cigarettes, but the ability to choose from more nicotine options can certainly ease some of the discomfort. If you feel like you are consuming too much nicotine, you can also work to lower it by choosing the lower-percentage options.
4. It Smells Better Overall
For those who have grown tired of smelling like cigarettes, one of the most significant advantages is the elimination of that cigarette smell. One UK study of 944 respondents showed that vaping with RELX and other devices had little to no effect on a person’s dating life. Only 2.3% of the participants were turned down by a date or dumped because of vaping, as opposed to the 14% of people who say they would not date a smoker in any capacity.
Outside of dating, I was less ashamed to have guests over because my house smelled much better after switching to RELX devices.
Conclusion
The studies have it: cigarettes and the smell of cigarette smoke are generally considered a turn-off in the dating scene, while vaping has very little effect on any potential romantic prospects. Moreover, many report that the transition from cigarettes to RELX devices is an easy process—and that it was a fulfilling transition given the many benefits they’ve enjoyed.
Switching to RELX has changed my life for the better. Not only do I no longer have to put up with the shame of bad cigarette smells, but I feel much more confident in the dating scene than I ever have before.
