Was chatting last night with a REA (social situation) - who reckoned that it was IMPOSSIBLE for a new cig/vape shop to open right now due to skyrocketing insurance costs. Landlords are very very leery about renting to anyone or any corporation that deals in cigs/vapes due to this.
EDIT: forgot to mention - a lot of existing landlords of commercial shops are doing emergency reviews of leases to such shops.
