Why vape shops should be considered an essential service |

Since iloveecigs.com is an established e-commerce store, we’ve been lucky enough to remain open amid the coronavirus pandemic. This has allowed us to provide our customers with continued fast service and shipping on all of their favorite Logic vape pens and replaceable cartomizers and capsules. However, while physical vaping stores aren’t able to provide the same safe, social distancing operations that we can maintain in our warehouse, we do think that they deserve to be considered a necessary business moving forward. So, if your city is starting to loosen up restrictions, offering prepaid, curbside pickup services and door delivery options, why is it that shops that strictly sell e-cigarettes haven’t been permitted to open yet?

Why are traditional cigarettes and liquor easily available while many businesses that sell electronic vapor products remain closed?

At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, liquor stores were deemed an essential service because members of the general population are dependent on alcohol. Convenience and grocery stores were also permitted to remain open to allow communities access to food and other fundamental items. Nevertheless, these businesses also were able to provide the smoking population with simple access to combustible cigarettes to satisfy their nicotine fix. Conversely, local vape shops were regarded as non-essential and were forced to close, leaving vapers with fewer options to obtain their much-needed products.

Those who use e-cigarettes are reliant on their chosen nicotine concentration levels to curb their cravings for combustible cigarettes. So, for many users, this form of nicotine delivery is essential in keeping them from going back to their old, tobacco-smoking routine.

What happens when the body doesn’t get nicotine?

Many people who try to quit smoking on their own experience a wide range of negative effects while going through nicotine withdrawal. While it can pass relatively quickly, the symptoms combined with a long-term craving for nicotine are often considered so overwhelming to manage that it’s quite easy for them to lose focus on their goals and progress, resorting back to old habits. That’s why it’s important to curb these cravings to ensure that the vaper is set up for long-term success.

It’s a matter of public health

Aside from everything mentioned above, we know all too well how smoking combustibles can significantly impact the health and well-being of long-term users, which is why so many ex-smokers relish in the changes that start to happen to their bodies when they give up tobacco. Eliminating tobacco and minimizing your nicotine intake gives you better respiratory function, which over time, increases your lung capacity and blood flow giving you extra supplemental energy that could be needed to fight any infections that enter your body. So, if you happen to come across the coronavirus, your health is better equipped to handle the severity of the symptoms through the use of an innovative device, like a Logic vape pen, over the toxic fumes of a combustible cigarette.
