Northland Vapor Company, is preparing for losses given that flavoured vaping products account for almost half its sales.
The city-wide ban on flavoured vaping products, says the local business, may force it to close its Moorhead headquarters.
“Our business model is not based on losing 55% of our sales so economically, it makes no sense to keep this location open,” said Northland Vapor owner Brad Erpelding.
A recent study issued by the state’s health department, has indicated that one in five Minnesota high school students are using e-cigarettes. The 2020 Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey has also indicated that 70% of high school and middle school vapers, are showing signs of nicotine dependence. The survey is conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health to provide information about young people’s commercial tobacco use and design and evaluate prevention efforts.
