Vape display ban could increase smoking, We Vape warns
Summary
We Vape has warned that extending behind-the-counter rules for vapes to small retailers could lead to increased smoking rates, contrary to government projections. Their analysis shows that while large supermarkets saw reduced smoking after the display ban, small shops might experience higher rates due to habitual purchasing behavior. The company urges retailers and trade bodies to submit objections before the consultation deadline on October 2nd.
