Sharing their thoughts on social media, some readers of The Observer were not too happy about the announcement.

Nikki Louise Jones said: "There is already a few... Chichester is just gonna be known for coffee shops and vaping... It's getting pathetic now!"

Adrian Marden said: "If there is enough demand it will succeed. Just amazes me they think they help people quit smoking. Lots of 'vapers' seem to young to have ever smoked a real cigarette."

Iain Jessup said: "Another? Aren't there three already. I am concerned about the long term effects of vaping, since you are putting a chemical and flavouring into your lungs and no long term trials have been conducted.

"Remember that 60+ years ago cigarettes were recommended for those suffering with coughs etc."

Chris Jenkinson said: "Wow... How exciting, not! What is the next headline going to be? It is a shop, better than an empty shop, but seriously, how long will it last?"
