LEICESTER TOUR | 12TH MAY 2017
The Vapouround Bus is becoming a very popular attraction in Leicester as this is its third visit to the city .
This latest visit took place on Friday May 12 and as we drove into the city centre there were already a number of eager visitors waiting to hop on board . The weather was a little gloomy but that didn ’ t put people off at all and everyone had a great time . We teamed up with The Stop Smoking Service based in Leicester for this event and it was great to have them on board with us . They help advise people who wish to quit smoking by supplying nicotine replacement products and advice . Caz Humphreys is one of the advisors at Stop Smoking Service and she was informing members of the public about e-cigarettes and the positive aspects of vaping . Caz also brought along a carbon monoxide monitor to show smokers how much carbon monoxide is released into a smoker ’ s body . We had a lot of volunteers who wanted to quit smoking and once they became aware of their carbon monoxide levels , they were eager to switch to vaping .
One of the great successes of the Vapouround Bus is introducing vaping to smokers . On the bus , the Vapouround team encourage smokers to hand in their cigarettes for a free starter kit who wish to stop smoking . With helpful advice from Vapouround ’ s bus manager Jorgie Shaw , people are more likely to switch to vaping . She said : “ We ’ ve had a lot of smokers who wish to quit but can ’ t find the right equipment in stores or can ’ t find the most useful advice . With the bus visiting so many cities , I ’ ve learned that you have to show people how to use their e-cigarette and introduce them to an e-liquid flavour they enjoy which is why we have the Vapebox and the free starter kit trade .” With sunshine beginning to seep through the clouds in the afternoon , more visitors were intrigued by the Vapouround Bus in its new green and blue livery . Vaper Sunil Sinhal , from Leicester , has been vaping for over a year and was thrilled to see the Vapouround Bus . He said : “ The bus is great ! I ’ ve never seen anything like it before . I ’ ve been a vaper for over a year and it ’ s really helped me to stop smoking . I love the fruity and dessert e-liquid flavours on the Vapebox , there ’ s something to suit everyone ’ s taste buds .” Richard Black , 36 , has also been vaping for over a year to quit smoking . He said : “ Vaping offers me a sense of release . It ’ s been hard to completely stop smoking but vaping has really helped me with that . “ Seeing the big Vapouround Bus in town has introduced me to a lot of other e-liquids out that I didn ’ t even know existed .” Once again , visiting Leicester was a huge success . Everyone had a blast and we were delighted to see people from our previous visit . It goes to show how popular the Vapouround Bus truly is .
