Irish e-cigarette trade boom as Vapefest attracts vendors to Dublin

Ireland’s e-cigarette industry continues to boom, with some traders claiming business has doubled since last year.

Industry observers said specialist shops catering for Ireland’s estimated 250,000 vapers have enjoyed their best year of business to date, with the number of walk-in customers up by nearly 15%.

Organisers of Vapefest Ireland, taking place today in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, said the event will feature more than 50 vendors, the largest number since it started five years ago.
