VPZ - Penzance Avis 3

Écrit par l'entreprise

VPZ began in 2012, when our founders, eager to quit smoking, discovered that vaping was the only method that truly helped them kick the habit. Quitting smoking - especially alone - is no easy feat, and this was the spark that ignited the VPZ journey. What stood out to our founders while switching to vaping was the poor customer experience, limited availability, and lack of choice when sourcing liquids and coils. Motivated to help others quit smoking and aware that there were around 12.4 million smokers in the UK at the time, they opened the first VPZ store in Leith, Edinburgh. Their goal was simple: to help the local community make the switch, provide exceptional customer service, and spread awareness about vaping across the UK. Today, the evidence supports vaping as a powerful tool in the NHS stop-smoking strategy. While the well-known “95% less harmful” figure comes from a 2015 Public Health England review. Recent statistics show that around 5.5 million adults in Great Britain now vape, including roughly 3 million ex-smokers. Over the past five years, approximately 2.7 million people have quit smoking using a vape. In fact, the number of vapers now exceeds the number of smokers, with 5.5 million vapers compared to 4.9 million current smokers. Yet public perception still lags: studies show that 85% of smokers in 2024 underestimated how much less harmful vaping is, often believing it to be as harmful - or more harmful - than smoking. Educating smokers about the reduced risk could help more people make the switch. Our mission remains to assist those who want to quit smoking and support existing vapers on their journey. We do this through excellent customer service, an incredible range of products, cutting-edge technology, and local accessibility via stores across the UK. VPZ is still a family-run business with our headquarters in Edinburgh. Since opening our first store in Leith in 2012, we’ve grown to over 190 stores nationwide - and we’re not stopping there. Once recognised in the Virgin Fast Track 100 as Scotland’s fastest-growing business and 24th fastest-growing in the UK, our aim is to continue expanding until there is a VPZ on every high street, helping communities across the country make the switch to e-cigarettes.
