Peter Lynch, a renowned financial investor and fund manager, is famous for advising others to invest in what they know. If you are a member of the vaping community and already own a portfolio of stocks, you may want to consider investing in companies that produce vaping products.
According to a recent report, it is estimated that the e-cigarette market will reach $44,610.6 million by the year 2023. Vaping has evolved over the years and is now embraced by the mainstream. This explosive growth is partially driven by key factors such as declining cigarette use and highly accessible vape products and online stores. As the vaping industry continues to gain momentum, many large tobacco conglomerates are starting to acquire small, privately-owned vaping companies to make up for diminishing cigarette sales.
Basically, there are currently two types of stocks you can buy if you want to invest in the vaping industry: small and large capital stocks. Small capital stocks are publicly traded companies that are worth anywhere from $300 million to $2 billion. While large capital stocks are companies with a market capitalization value of more than $10 billion.

In Conclusion
As you can see, there are several great stocks you can buy if you want to invest in the vaping industry. However, before you start to invest we suggest that you consult with a licensed financial and securities expert for solid advice. They may also ask you some probing questions to find out more in-depth information about your financial background and overall risk tolerance. Every investment involves some sort of risk, so you should never invest more money in the stock market than you are willing to lose.
