Vapes are four times more profitable to convenience stores than tobacco amid a nine-fold increase in sales of the devices in three years, according to a study.

Convenience stores make an average profit of 37.1% for vape products compared with 8.5% for tobacco products, figures from September 2022 analysed by the University of Edinburgh show.
