The French directory of specialty vape shops that are independent of the tobacco industry
Because it's effective and easily accessible, vape has become the most popular aid for quitting smoking and weaning yourself off nicotine.
Vape is not a tobacco product, nor is it a "new nicotine industry". Independent vape is a new stop-smoking industry. Faced with the model of a new dependency that the tobacco industry is trying to impose, we advocate one of emancipation.
The tobacco-independent sector represents 85% of the vape market in France, and we are the N°1 players in the fight against smoking in France. Several million French people have already quit smoking thanks to vaping and the support of specialized professionals.
