===2018: [https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/15/2/297 A Qualitative Exploration of the Role of Vape Shop Environments in Supporting Smoking Abstinence]=== | |||
*At an individual level, shops can provide a supportive environment. Shops also provided ongoing support to reduce risk of smoking lapse. | |||
*At an interpersonal level, shops can offer friendly personable service. For some vapers, shops also provided an opportunity for social interaction, acting as a community group. | |||
*At a structural level, shops provide a competitive environment, responding to legislative changes. | |||
*Furthermore, vape shops provide opportunity to those who do not wish to stop smoking to try vaping and perhaps eventually stop smoking. | |||
*Vape shops can provide effective behavioural support to quitters to maintain smoking abstinence. Health professionals could capitalise on this through partnership working with shops, to ensure best outcomes for clients wanting to use e-cigarettes to quit smoking. | |||
