British American Tobacco (BAT) plans to launch vending machines in bars and pubs to sell vapes and nicotine bags, according to Better Retailing on June 18.
Recruitment advertisements show that BAT is recruiting at least 12 sales representatives with the goal of entering alcohol sales venues, aiming to “find new locations for vending machines and other business development solutions, and ultimately increase sales of BAT-related products.”
Target areas include Basingstoke, Birmingham, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Coventry, Crawley, Edinburgh, Exeter, Maidstone, Reading, Royal Tunbridge and Sevenoaks.
An vape testing company warned that restrictions would be ineffective without more resources.
The representatives will start a six-month “trial” contract on June 24 and plan to “continue to 2025 and beyond.”
When asked about this, a BAT spokesperson told Better Retailing,
“BAT UK is pleased to be involved in a project to sell our Vuse and Velo brands through age-restricted vending machines. BAT’s purpose is clear: to build a better tomorrow. We will achieve this by reducing the health impact of our business, including reaching adult consumers where they use our alternative nicotine products. Vending machines represent an exciting opportunity to further our goal.”
Installing vape vending machines in bars has raised concerns about possible underage sales. In response to how to prevent underage purchases, BAT said: “Our machines will use state-of-the-art age verification technology to ensure this important principle is maintained.”
When asked about the possible impact on sales at nearby newsagents and convenience stores that sell the same BAT products, BAT did not respond.
However, in this industry full of change and innovation, Veehoo vapes actively pays attention to the latest trends in vapes everywhere and constantly adapts to market developments.
