E-cigarette factory to create 80 jobs

An Irish e-cigarette manufacturer is to create 80 jobs at a new manufacturing facility in Waterford, with hundreds more potentially in the pipeline in the next 12 months.

Healthier Smoker, which produces e-liquids and e-cigarettes says that the new facility will allow it to increase its current production of 50,000 bottles of e-liquid forty-fold in just a few months, as demand for its products continues to increase sharply.

Half of the initial 80 positions will be filled in its retail outlets across the country, with the remainder in the manufacturing arm of the business.
