New Downtown Business Selling Smoking Alternative Products [AUDIO]

ST. CLOUD -- A new store in downtown St. Cloud is selling a product that's an alternative to traditional cigarettes. Mega Vapes store owner Tony Spoden says "e-cigarettes" are a growing trend for people who want to quit smoking....

Spoden says the"e-cigarettes" use a battery powered heating element to vaporize what's called "e-juice"...

Spoden says he carries 50-60 flavors of the "e-juice" and a starter kit goes for about $40.

Spoden says because it is not actually smoke, some businesses are allowing the devices indoors. However, you must be 18-year-old to buy the product because it does contain nicotine.

Mega Vapes is located at 822 West St. Germain Street across from the Paramount Theater.
