Alarm bells continue to be raised over the high number of vape stores within the community. 

Canterbury University research shows there are far more specialist vape shops situated in our most deprived neighbourhoods than anywhere else. 

Researcher Matt Hobbs told Mike Hosking that 30% are also within 400-metres of a school, and just over 70% are within 800-metres. 

He says vape-stores are far more prominent than things like liquor stores and gambling venues.
