The UK’s largest vaping retailer has opened a new store for Lanarkshire customers.
VPZ has underlined its commitment to "helping more smokers throughout the local area quit" with the establishment of the shop in Baillieston.
The vaping specialist has created new job opportunities in the area and is improving local access to stop smoking advice.
Doug Mutter, director at VPZ, told Lanarkshire Live : “We are proud to open our doors in Baillieston, create local jobs, and help make stop smoking services more accessible in the area and give smokers the support they need to quit.”
VPZ Baillieston, based on Main Street, specialises in vaping and alternative tobacco products, which comes as the brand ramps up its post pandemic expansion and continues its mission to bring more stop smoking support across the country.
Doug said: “VPZ is the UK’s leading vaping specialist, and we are spearheading the fight against the nation’s number one killer - smoking.
"Alarmingly, smoking rates continue to rise following the pandemic and cuts to NHS stop smoking services and local support groups is making the public health problem even worse.
“Vaping is the most effective way to quit smoking and our consumer intelligence tells us that the majority of customers prefer being in store where they can access a personalised service and get the right guidance and advice from our staff that can’t be accessed elsewhere.
“Our Vape Clinic service gives customers the help and advice they need at a time when local stop smoking services across the country are under threat whilst supporting the country’s ambitions to become a smoke free nation by 2030.”
