Vape sales soar following lockdown and menthol ban

Every Cloud Vape Shop said sales of vapes, e-cigarettes and vaping supplies have soared 1,150% during the three months of lockdown, between March and May, compared to the previous three months.

In addition, there has also been a 69% month-on-month increase in sales of menthol vapes and vape oils in May.

Jon Humphrey, manager of operations at Every Cloud Vape Shop, said: “While the ban on menthol cigarettes is an overwhelmingly positive step forward, it is important to recognise that there are thousands of smokers out there who have only ever used menthol tobacco cigarettes and whom are now likely finding giving up smoking an unexpected challenge.”

Every Cloud Vape Shop is one of the UK’s largest retailers of e-cigarettes, vapers and vaping supplies with 27 branches across the South of England and an ambitious plan to open more than 100 stores in the UK by the end of 2022.
