Health Care Costs are $2,000 Per Year Higher Among People Who Vape Compared to Non-Tobacco Users

By Elizabeth Fernandez

Use of electronic cigarettes costs the United States $15 billion annually in health care expenditures - more than $2,000 per person a year - according to a study by researchers at the UC San Francisco School of Nursing.

The study, published on May 23, 2022, in Tobacco Control, is the first to look at the health care costs of e-cigarette use among adults 18 and older.

"Our finding indicates that health care expenditures for a person who uses e-cigarettes are $2,024 more per year than for a person who doesn't use any tobacco products," said lead author Yingning Wang, PhD, of the UCSF Institute for Health & Aging.

The researchers based their estimates of health care costs and utilization on data from the 2015-2018 National Health Interview Survey. Health care utilization included nights in the hospital, emergency room visits, doctor visits and home visits.

"Health care costs attributable to e-cigarette use are already greater than our estimates of health care costs attributable to cigar and smokeless tobacco use," said Wang. "This is a concerning finding, given that e-cigarettes are a relatively new product whose impact is likely to increase over time."

Principal investigator Wendy Max, PhD, director of the Institute for Health & Aging, noted that from 2013 to 2018, e-cigarette use among high school students soared from 4.5% to 20.8%.

"We weren't able to look at e-cigarette use among youth under 18 in this study," Max said. "However, if more young people continue to take up vaping and keep on using this product when they become adults, the negative impacts on health care costs are likely to increase over time."

The authors called for continuing efforts to control tobacco use among youth in order to reduce illness and health care costs associated with e-cigarette use.

"Even with the current relatively low use of e-cigarettes among adults - 3.7 percent - health care costs are already substantial, and likely to increase in the future if youth continue to use this product," said Max.

Vaping has exploded in popularity as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. But what is the true cost of vaping in 2023? This extensive guide dives into vape device prices, e-liquid costs, accessories, total ownership costs and proven ways to save for an affordable vaping experience.

Vape Device Type Pricing Overview

The type of vaping device is the primary determinant of costs. Here is an overview of popular vape product pricing:

Overall, disposables offer single-use convenience, while reusable setups become more economical long-term but have higher upfront investment.

Estimated Vaping Costs Over Time

Here are approximate averages for ongoing vaping costs:

While not cheap, vaping is comparable to smoking depending on an individual's consumption.

Factors Affecting Vaping Costs

Several important factors impact vaping affordability:

E-liquid Costs

E-liquids represent a major recurring cost. Prices are based on:

Brand

Premium brands cost 2-4x more than budget juices

Bottle Size

Larger volumes have lower per mL price

Nicotine Content

Extra for additives like nicotine salts or shots

Flavors

Complex flavors cost more to manufacture

Buying larger bottles of budget juices saves significantly.

Coil Costs

Coils wear out and need replacement every 1-2 weeks, costing $1 to $5 each time. Rewicking/rebuilding saves vs buying coils.

Battery Costs

-Higher-quality batteries cost more but provide better safety and longevity. Cheap low-drain batteries risk issues.

Advanced Features

- More complex functions and trendy aesthetics increase costs. Avoid unnecessary features.

Country/Region

- Pricing varies globally based on local sales taxes, imports and regulations. Vaping is most affordable in the UK.

Ways to Reduce Vaping Expenses

If budget is limited, consider these money-saving tips:

Buy discounted secondhand or clearance vape gear from classifieds and retailers.

Avoid disposables in favor of reusable setups for much lower long-term costs.

Make your own DIY e-juice from PG, VG, nicotine concentrates and flavorings bought in bulk batches.

Use lower wattages and gentler inhale styles to make coils and wicks last many weeks longer.

Build your own replaceable atomizer coils instead of constantly buying factory-made ones.

Select mods with external batteries that can be replaced individually to reduce costs.

Stick to basic, no-frills devices sufficient for your needs rather than expensive high-end gear with features you may not use.

Take advantage of any warranty coverage periods on box mods and tanks to obtain free repairs or replacement parts.

Watch for sales, promos and discount codes when purchasing gear and e-liquids.

Vaping Affordably Within Your Budget

While not the most budget-friendly habit, vaping can be very cost-effective with an informed approach. Prioritize spending on essential gear like batteries and consumables like e-liquids, then economize on coils and accessories via DIY options. With research and proper maintenance, vaping can become an affordable passion, even on a tight budget.
