For many smokers hoping to kick their tobacco habit, quitting smoking means using an over-the-counter nicotine replacement product or making the switch to e-cigs, but it’s not immediately clear which is the best option.

The move also means that any sellers have to obtain a tobacco retailer license in order to sell any e-cigs.
