According to a recent report from the Office of National Statistics, 56.7% of smokers across the UK decided to quit smoking traditional cigarettes in 2015, which is the highest proportion since 1974.
There is evidence to suggest that the reason for this cigarette decline is due to a recent vaping boom, with UK residents switching to vaping faster than any other country in Europe.
Approximately one UK resident makes the switch from traditional cigarettes to e-cigs every four minutes.
British online retailer, Vapourlites, conducted some research on the UK cities with the most e-cig outlets, finding the Scottish capital of Edinburgh had the most with a total of 17 vape stores. Large cities, London and Birmingham each had 10 stores, and out of 68 cities analysed, only 13 didn’t have e-cig stores within a 2-mile radius.
Charles Bloom, director of Vapourlites, said: “The emergence of vaping outlets in major cities is highly beneficial – not just to those in the business, but to everyone who is struggling with addiction. It is highly important to maintain choice: people should not feel confined in how they choose to cope with their addiction. Hopefully, the example set by leading cities like Edinburgh, London and Birmingham will encourage cities across the globe to follow suit.”
