Vaping is Personal, Bideford, May 27
Husband and wife Steve and Coleen
Ellis, from Barnstaple have both
been smoking around 40 cigarettes
a day for the last 38 years.
They both decided to take up
vaping about a year ago and are
now enjoying improved health and
lifestyles. In fact, they love vaping
so much they have created a special
page on Facebook to allow local
vapers to chat online.
Coleen said: “I suffer from asthma,
but I don’t need to use my inhaler
anymore and I can walk without
getting the shortness of breath I got
when I was a smoker.
“I loved seeing the Vapouround Bus
here today. There is nothing else like
it and it is more like a mobile expo
with more to offer than some shops.”
Vape HQ, Newquay, May 26
The people of Newquay were
really receptive to the bus and
we met some inspirational people
here. Take Alan Nichols, 70, for
example. He told us how vaping
literally saved his life. He had been
a regular smoker for 45 years and
switched to vaping four years ago
following the death of his wife.
Alan said, “I remember that my
doctor actually hugged me when
I told him I had quit smoking for
vaping.” Vape HQ shop manager
Dan said: “This has been our best
day of the year! At one stage there
was literally no space to stand in the
shop. We are so happy to have
had the Vapouround Bus here. After
seeing how well today has gone,
having the Vapouorund Bus down
again is something I would most
certainly consider.”
