A report in Tobacco Control by ASPiRE’s Lisa Henriksen, Trent Johnson, and Nina
Schleicher looked at vape shop closures during COVID-19 in six metro areas (Atlanta,
Boston, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, San Diego, and Seattle) using data from the Public
Health Law Center. They found that many vape shops did not comply with state COVID-19
orders. E-cigarette users were as likely to stockpile vape products as to attempt to reduce or
quit using e-cigarettes. Read the report.
