Does anyone know when they will complete the 2015 e-cig survey? Can't wait to see the stats.

My local vape shop owner told me he believes 75% of his newbies end up quitting. He might be guilding the lilly a bit but it might be true. Some where between 40-75% are awesome numbers, high or low. Some vape shops may turn out to be more effective than others. Studying different shops might reveal best practices.
