The vaping industry Evidence continues to indicate that vaping can act as a key component of the NHS’s stop smoking strategy, both in aiding the smoking cessation journeys of the remaining 6.4 million adult cigarette smokers in the UK and saving the NHS an estimated £1.9 billion a year in treating smoking related diseases. Public Health England has reported that vaping is up to twice as effective as other nicotine- replacement solutions as the most effective way to quit, and that vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes.* Vape shops such as VPZ are now a staple in prime shopping locations, the result of this is increased availability in high footfall areas, most evident in VPZ’s estate reaching over 180 stores in 2024, with seven of those as part of a collaboration with Morrisons Supermarkets and four new franchises. Further stores are already planned for the first half of 2025 with the vaping industry revenue expected to reach £3.46billion by 2028, according to Statista.
