E-cigarette vaping is a success for a pub in Whitefield, Manchester. The Parkfield Inn, a trendy hot-spot near Manchester, first started selling electronic cigarettes to locals over a year ago and even stocks refills behind the bar for e-cig smoking customers.

The Parkfield Inn, situated on Park Lane in Whitefield, is an upmarket pub popular with the young professionals in the area. There is always a high number of prestigious cars in the parking area driven by the successful crowd inside and yet it remains unpretentious. Although many pubs and bars already allow the use of electronic cigarettes, the Parkfield Inn was the first to sell electronic cigarettes over the counter to customers. VIP began supplying electronic cigarette starter kits and accessories to the Parkfield in 2008 and continue to equip the pub with cartomizer refill cartridges.

Electronic cigarettes are not affected by the smoking ban, introduced to the UK in 2007. Smokers can enjoy using an electric smoking device practically anywhere. The smoking ban has in part contributed to the accelerated rate of pub closures around the country. Around 52 pubs are going out of business every week resulting in the loss of 24,000 jobs over the year. Many closed pubs have been bought by property developers with a view of turning them into flats. Locals choose to say home and smoke rather than to the pub where they have go outside for a cigarette. Pubs have the option to offer customers an electronic cigarette to provide them with the freedom to smoke inside the pub legally.
