There are many reasons why e-cigarettes have exploded onto the market in recent years. By cutting out the harmful toxins of tobacco smoke, they are a deemed to be a much safer substitute for the smoker and everyone around them. E-cigarettes are also much cheaper than tobacco too. However the other great thing about vaping is that it allows smokers to enjoy their nicotine fix without being caught out by the smoking ban. But if this means that you can still smoke an e-cigarette in any regular pub, café or restaurant, why are we seeing a rise of vaping cafes?
By overcoming the smoking ban and putting a whole new lease of life into nicotine, vaping has suddenly gone from smoking alternative to a smoking hot trend. As more and more people ditch the cigarettes for a smarter substitute, the habit is once again in vogue. So why be the odd one out in your Café Nero or Starbucks with your vaporizer, when you could chill out with like minded people, good coffee and an even better vaping vibe?
The first pioneers to jump on the trend were predictably in London, as The Vape Lab hit the scene in March on Liverpool Street. The chic e-cigarette and coffee shop combined the capital’s love of coffee with the growing love of vaping, to create a cosmopolitan hub that has really made waves. Following suit, July sees the opening of a Coffee Republic e-cigarette branch in North Lincolnshire, a sign that the trend is filtering down into the towns and cities around the rest of the UK. No longer will you get a double take from those around you when you begin puffing on an e-cigarette; vaporizers are settling well and truly into the norms of society, and at a vaping coffee shop you can puff away in a chic and relaxing setting.
Whether or not vaping coffee shops will have a long life span is yet to be seen, but the undeniable fact is that e-cigarettes have gone from the fringes of society right into the heart of the social scene, displayed by this futuristic new café concept. It may be a while until a vaping coffee shop opens its doors on your high street, but it’s a good sign that the future is bright for e-cigarettes in the UK as they become further embedded into our culture.
So this is the direction for vaping at the moment. What do you think will happen next and where do you think the vaping revolution take you?
