Beeston, March 1 At Big Vapes, we ran into Jamie Adlington. Jamie smoked for five years before deciding to give vaping a go five years ago. He told us as well as quitting smoking, one of the best things about vaping is, “it saved me money.” At Princess Vapers, we met Ryan Harris who has been vaping for four years. Prior to picking up his first e-cigarette, Ryan smoked for nine years. He told us, “Vaping saved my life.” Chesterfield & Alfreton, February 26 At The Quirky Gift and Vape Shop, we met a man in his 50s called Chris. A former smoker, Chris said he smoked for a full decade before hearing about e-cigarettes and has now been vaping for over four years. At The Vapourist, the team chatted with Anne Cooper who is 58. Anne smoked for more than 30 years, practically half her life, until she took up vaping and successfully quit six-and-a-half years ago. Anne says she relies on her local Alfreton vape shop and visits weekly. VM22 | 147
