How Can I Invest in Vape Stocks?Posted by freemexy on July 14th, 2019 How Can I Invest in Vape Stocks? The vape wholesale supply market is growing -- the global industry that includes vaping is forecast to expand from less than billion now to over billion by 2025 -- and many are looking to invest in this trend. While this new and purportedly less harmful take on smoking has gained momentum, investors should be leery about jumping aboard the bandwagon. Stiff government regulations and education campaigns around the world to alert people to the dangers of smoking have helped push the number of cigarettes sold down despite how addictive they are. Global sales volumes have declined from a peak of about 5.8 trillion cigarettes in 2012 to 5.5 trillion sold to 1 billion smokers in 2015. The number of cigarettes sold is expected to decrease another 5% over the next five years, or a reduction of roughly 275 billion cigarettes. Tobacco companies have more than made up for volume declines with price increases, and new technology has emerged to appeal to those kicking (or trying to kick) the cigarette habit. So-called reduced-risk tobacco products include vaping devices that heat a flavored, nicotine-infused liquid into a vapor that is inhaled and heat-not-burn (HNB) devices that heat real tobacco to deliver a vapor that tastes similar to a conventional cigarette.
