DERBYSHIRE
THE VAPOUROUND BUS TEAM ARE GEARING UP FOR A
LONG HOT CLOUDY SUMMER OF BUS VISITS WITH OUR
SMOKING CESSATION SERVICE ON WHEELS.
We headed to Derbyshire Vape (formerly V Vapour) in South Normanton where we met
owner Michaela. The shop first opened its doors in 2015 and soon became the go-to resource
for a growing community of vapers and speculative smokers considering making the switch.
One of the most rewarding aspects of travelling on the bus is listening to the stories from
people whose lives have been changed by vaping. Derbyshire Vape was no exception.
Among the stories, the team chatted with 58-year-old, Anne Cooper.
Anne jumped on the vape train six-and-a-half years ago, which, in the relatively short history
of vaping, makes her an earlier convert to the technology.
Anne had smoked for more than 30 years, practically half her life. She finally found an
alternative that would see her ditch cigarettes for good. She now counts herself as one of
the shop’s many regulars, popping by every week to stock up on supplies.
