New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/08/2014 -- There have been some rumblings in the electronic cigarette and vaporizer industry with what appears to be a battle of the biggest market share. Since the announcement of Lorillard (NYSE:LO) and Reynolds American (NYSE:RAI) acquisition, it looks like the tides have changed in a drastic way and unfortunately, it's not to the benefit of this latest M&A in Big Tobacco. Analyst Bonnie Herzog is one who thinks that the first quarter of 2014 is where we start to really see the vapor trend take hold and drive the combustible cig decline rate at an accelerated pace,"Bottom line, retailers are starting to either discontinue or take shelf space away from disposable e-cigs to make room for personal vaporizers given their attractive growth & margins."
