Culturally, it seems like we are moving farther and farther away from tobacco-based products, and embracing more cannabis- and naturally-derived products in an effort to better our health and habits.
The point is, times and trends are changing in the industry and your shop should change with them. Let’s explore the option of tobacco-free products and what it means to be tobacco-free.
Tobacco-Free Policies
Tobacco-free policies prohibit the use of tobacco, nicotine, or any tobacco-like products, plants or substances (natural or synthetic).
Smoking continues to become less socially acceptable and in contrast, tobacco use rates continue to decline. You can especially see this decline in 2012, when 28 states banned the use of tobacco products in public places and general workplaces.
Best Tobacco-Free Products
In this industry, you need to stick to the new trends of consumers, while also remaining in accordance with the law. Luckily for the vaping industry, tobacco-free products have started to shine and become front and center.
Make sure your smoke and vape shops are stocked with a variety of tobacco-free products so you can keep your customers intrigued, happy, and coming back for more.
How to display? Instead of a wall full of tobacco-filled blunt wraps, try creating a variety of new natural and tobacco-free for your customers to choose from. You can still keep some of the classics, but products like hemp wraps and cones are also great options to give your tobacco-free customers.
