Many thought that we had reached our hipster peak when a restaurant serving solely cereal opened in east London, but it appears that a new benchmark has been set as vaping bars allow people to smoke their e-cigarettes in comfort.

Bars offering vapers a place to sit back, relax and inhale and exhale their favourite flavoured gas are popping up across London as the emerging craze attracts nearly three million people.

Bars such as Prohibition Vapes offers to help its customers with the 'intimidating challenge' that comes with switching from cigarettes.In the trendy bar people can also pick from a range of e-juices or rather more traditionally, get a drink.

Vapes, chosen by many as a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes, appear to be the accessory of choice for most hip young things standing outside bars and cafes and photographer Louis Amore snapped a crowd of them when he visited the bar in Hoxton, east London.

Staring solemnly through the plumes of vapour, emanating from their mouths and nostrils, it's clear from the photos that the punters are already acutely aware of how best to pose while using their pipes.

Well, we would expect nothing less.

Posing: Like all hipsters this girl is clearly aware of how best to pose with her accessory - or maybe she just didn't see the cameraman?
