Our study of the online market in South Africa, where e-cigarettes have gained a good deal of traction over the past year, analyses brands, products and prices on the country’s 20 leading e-cig websites
Our South African analysis finds a market dominated by local companies and manufacturers, with little presence of Big Tobacco names, and very little effect of a purely theoretical ban on the sale of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes.
