AN ELECTRONIC cigarette company from Canada has opened it’s first UK shop in Stroud.

E-Z Vape’s new UK store sells vape sticks which are electronic cigarettes for alternative smoking – and their range of Gold Seal E-Juice.

Their link up with E-Juice has seen a surge in popularity for this method of e-smoking with flavours such as sweet banana.

E-Z Vape chief executive Samantha Terry opened the Russell Street shop on Friday, June 12.

“We are setting up links with various UK stores and we think Stroud is an excellent location for our first,” she said.

“A lot of people are now turning to vaping as an alternative to smoking, it has recently been endorsed in the news by cancer charities in response to the potential banning of vaping in enclosed public spaces.”
