电子烟专卖店正准备再次营业，英国电子烟工业协会正在敦促商店在接下来的几周内严格遵循政府的指导。UKVIA主管John Dunne表示：“到目前为止，电子烟行业在遵循政府指导方针方面堪称典范，在许多情况下，其实还超越了它的标准。对于电子烟行业，当务之急是，电子烟商店必须完全遵守其他已发行零售指导。这样一来，它将为消费者提供进到电子烟商店消费的信心，并将帮助电子烟零售业尽快站起来。”Dunne还说，他预计在未来几周内，将有大量的薄荷醇烟民转向使用电子烟。上个月，UKVIA成员电子烟俱乐部发表研究表明，在薄荷醇禁令实施后，有39％的吸烟者可能戒烟，而18％的吸烟者转移到了电子烟类别。据估计，英国目前有130万薄荷醇吸烟者，这可能意味着将近四分之一的新电子烟客户。Dunne说：“我从业界得到的早期反馈是，他们已经看到消费者对薄荷醇电子烟产品的兴趣上升了，一旦未来几个月业务恢复正常，这很可能会加速。我们预计，一旦商店再次营业，薄荷醇烟民将渴望获得针对他们可用的薄荷醇电子烟产品的专业建议，这将进一步推动这一转变。”
