Here at the London Vape Company, we pay very close attention to what is happening around the globe in terms of e-cigarettes, and it has become impossible for us to not address the first vape-related death in the United States of America.

Recently, there has been a surge in the number of people asking what CBD is and how it can help them. This isn't surprising, as this new industry is growing in popularity massively thanks to a balloon in high quality product types and more available public information.

But that doesn't always leave us our queries answered, such as if CDB is psychoactive? Or what it can help with? How about how much THC is in CBD?

We used to have similar questions, but with lots of experience and research we can provide a definite answer once and for all.

In a recent publication, Public Health England (PHE) has taken a close look into the industry, and sought to ensure that the public is not mislead by these often unfounded concerns.

If you were to walk into any e-cigarette store in the UK and ask the question ‘Is vaping safer than smoking’, every single one would tell you the same thing. Yes.

Quitting smoking sucks. We all know it, we've all experienced it and no matter who you are, it just sucks.

But with support from Stoptober and The Vape Co, you can make it!

At the London Vape Co, we like to follow our customers progress, to ensure they find quitting as easy and pain free as possible.

Our Quitters series lets you tell us about your journey, from the highs, to the lows, and everything in between.

This week, we were lucky enough to hear Peter's story, which is one which many smokers can relate to!

We are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Amazon!

You will now be able to take full advantage of Amazon's Locker service within our Camden Branch.

In 2017, the vaping industry faced its biggest challenge; The Tobacco Products Directive.

Restrictions to trade, packaging and products on the market proved to be a point of contention between vapers and the government, but UK vapers were quick to adjust to the new rules.

However, despite widespread compliance and the promise that no further changes would come into effect, it seems that TPD isn't done with us just yet.

The UK vaping scene is already having a significant impact on the smoking industry and the way in which the public has grown to value their health. But the future is even brighter.

The success of vaping prompts an important question, primarily regarding how the UK of the near future will integrate alternative tobacco products. The UK has introduced lenient, and generally liberal, controls with regards to the industry, avoiding the strict legislation that other governments have seen fit to implement.

The public has responded to vaping extremely positively, leading to the introduction of new sub-cultures and social identities. With this, it looks like vaping is here to stay.

Smoking is a burden in more ways than you may think. Despite the obvious health risks, many of us can underestimate the cost of smoking, and how much it eats into our cash reserves over the course of a year.

The average UK smoker uses around 10-20 cigarettes a day, with each pack of 20 costing up to £11. In a year this adds up, hitting an estimated spend of around £3500 per annum. That's one hell of a lot of money!

A new study has shown that E-cigarettes are up to 97% safer than conventional smoking.

In a study funded by Cancer Research UK and performed by the department of epidemiology and public health at UCL, it was found that long term vapers have significantly lower toxic and carcinogenic substances in their body when compared to smokers.

It's been over a year since Public Health England posted their landmark research into E-cigarettes. The study, which was supported by a number of prominent bodies, including the NHS, concluded that vaping is approximately 95% less harmful than smoking, and gave vaping a prominent boost in public perception.

But, should you check the headlines about vaping you might be dissuaded, as contradictory and confusing reports are appearing left, right and center.

The smoking culture is one of those dirty little terms that follows around users of tobacco products. Socialised smoking, smoking areas and other day to day realities of being a smoker often walk hand in hand with accusations of antisocial behaviour and less than favourable representations.

But then came vaping, a healthier alternative to smoking, which manages to trade off the negative aspects of smoking without reducing the satisfaction. But does the negative stigma attributed to smokers carry over to vapers?

Well, that is the definition of a yes/no question.

With one day to go before the introduction of the European Tobacco Products Directive (TPD)the CEO of The London Vape Company has branded the directive as discriminatory which unfairly groups vaping with traditional tobacco smoking.
