Heathrow Airport Opens World's First E-Smoking Lounge

— December 22, 2013 — Lifestyle
London's Heathrow Airport is set to open the world's first e-smoking lounge for those who use electronic cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes produce water vapor when puffed unlike their non-electronic counterparts which release smoke when consumed. It is with this in mind that airport officials in London opened the world's first electronic cigarette smoking lounge last week so that electronic cigarette smokers were not forced to stem their cravings by having to go outside.

The e-smoking lounge was opened by the electronic cigarette manufacturer Gamucci and is a move that seems to be supported by most travelers.

The electronic cigarette market will approach 2 billion dollars and with electronic smoking becoming bigger and bigger, more accommodations will most likely be made in order to supports peoples habits of trying to quit smoking.
Trend Themes
1. Growing E-cigarette Market - The electronic cigarette market is expected to reach 2 billion dollars, indicating a rising demand for tobacco alternatives.
2. Expansion of E-smoking Facilities - As electronic smoking becomes more popular, accommodations such as e-smoking lounges are likely to increase in number and variety.
3. Shift Towards Harm Reduction - The opening of the world's first e-smoking lounge signifies a shift towards embracing harm reduction strategies for smokers.
Industry Implications
1. Electronic Cigarette Manufacturing - Manufacturers of electronic cigarettes have the opportunity to capitalize on the growing market and provide innovative products and solutions.
2. Hospitality and Travel - The hospitality and travel industry can tap into the growing demand for e-smoking facilities by providing designated areas and services for electronic cigarette users.
3. Health and Wellness - The shift towards harm reduction presents opportunities for health and wellness companies to develop new products and services that support alternative smoking methods.
