How Many People Vape Around The World?

 How-many-vapers-in-the-world

Ever since the introduction of e-cigarettes, vaping usage has exploded around the world. For those who vape, the practice can seem lonely at times. Those who don’t actually know just how many people vape may easily assume that no one shares their passion. For a smoker, socialization is easy – there’s always another smoker around to share a cigarette with. Vape users don’t have this advantage though, and it’s not uncommon for them to not have a single friend or associate that vapes. Fortunately, vaping is now more popular than ever, and those that vape automatically belong to a super special and global club that includes millions of other members.

Just how many members belong to this club? How many people vape around the world today? How many own vape kits? This is exactly what we wanted to find out. Since the vaping market is relatively new, user research is still relatively thin and underdeveloped. After researching a ton of awesome sources and the most recent vape statistics (and using a bit of simple math), we attempted to estimate this number. In the following article, we will share our findings and present our rationale for unofficially estimating “How Many People Vape Around the World?”

Presenting an estimate for the worldwide usage of e-cigarettes is more difficult than you could ever imagine. The vaping market changes daily. Laws in some countries change suddenly, impacting the vaping population; while some emerging countries have witnessed extreme growth just within the last few years. In several countries vapes and e-liquids are common and good alternatives for smoking. In Australia and New Zealand vapes are popular among young generations, Non nicotine vapes are available in local vapor store in Australia whereas nicotine containing vapes are available in online vape stores in New Zealand.

China, which produces a great percentage of the vape devices that are distributed around the world, ironically, has a very small vaping community. Although the current number of users is low, market potential is extremely high due to the country’s lack of market regulation and the low barriers to entry. In a country with over 1.37 billion people, a 1% penetration of e-cigarette usage could equate to over 13 million vape users.

A major Korean manufacturer told vaping.com that there are approximately one million vapers in South Korea. The Korean market has complex issues, so it’s unclear how many vapers are using nicotine-containing liquid, but there’s no reason for us to doubt his overall assessment.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 12.2% of Australia’s population are daily smokers. Nearly one third (31%) of smokers had tried e-cigarettes in their lifetime, but only 4.4% of them use them on a regular basis. With a population of 24.13 million, this would equate to approximately 2.94 million smokers and around 129,000 regular vape users.

The usage of e-cigarettes in Africa is relatively unknown. For most of Africa, it can be assumed that there is no major vaping presence. However, in the country of South Africa, vaping has gained some momentum with an estimated 200,000 vape users.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...
