电子烟的日益普及伴随着美国vape商店的激增。Vape商店致力于电子烟的销售和使用，让顾客可以品尝口味，并从零售商那里了解不同的硬件。对vape商店零售商的研究落后于他们的受欢迎程度。这项研究记录了洛杉矶零售商对电子烟和其他烟草产品的态度和行为。2014年对78家vape商店的零售商进行了调查。大多数零售商（76%）认为电子烟比可燃香烟更安全，约四分之一的零售商认为电子烟是完全安全的。一般来说，电子烟比FDA批准戒烟的产品（如尼古丁贴片、口香糖和吸入器）更安全。在过去的一个月里，大约14%的零售商报告了香烟和电子烟的双重使用。这是第一项调查位于洛杉矶的vape商店零售商的烟草相关行为和态度的研究。对电子烟商店零售商进行电子烟益处和危害的教育非常重要，特别是如果零售商要了解目前才被考虑接受FDA监管的产品。
The growing popularity of e-cigarettes has been accompanied by the proliferation of vape shops in the US. Vape shops are devoted to the sale and use of e-cigarettes, allowing customers to sample flavors and learn about different hardware from retailers. Research on vape shop retailers is lagging behind their popularity. This study documented the attitudes and behaviors regarding e-cigarettes and other tobacco products of retailers located in Los Angeles. Surveys were conducted among retailers at 78 vape shops in 2014. The majority of retailers (76%) believed e-cigarettes are safer than combustible cigarettes, with about one-fourth believing e-cigarettes are completely safe. Retailers believed e-cigarettes are, on average, safer than products (eg, nicotine patch, gum, and inhaler) that have been approved for cessation by the FDA. About 14% of retailers reported dual use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes in the past month. This is the first study to investigate tobacco-related behaviors and attitudes of vape shop retailers located in Los Angeles. Educating vape shop retailers on the benefits and harms of e-cigarettes is important, especially if retailers are to be informed about a product that is only now being considered to receive regulation from the FDA.
