Brett Basden, co-owner of The Vape Shop, smokes an e-cigarette Monday behind the counter of the shop. The Vape Shop opened for business in Dec. 2013. The shop sells e-cigs for all levels of users and e-juice, which contains flavoring, and in some cases nicotine co-owner Josh Brown said. “If you want to quit smoking cigarettes it’s effortless with e-cigs,” Brown said. Basden said he quit smoking the day the shop opened. “People don’t miss their cigarettes when they switch and they’re not killing themselves doing it,” he said. The Vape shop is located at 606 S. Illinois Ave. and is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 10 p.m. to 5 p.m.
