E Z Smoke & More

E Z Smoke & More has been part of the Kent smoke shop scene for years, and it's the kind of place regulars settle into once they've made it part of their routine. Sitting on Pacific Highway, it works as both a smoke shop and a handy convenience stop. You'll find vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, cigarettes, rolling papers, and the everyday smoking accessories, plus cold sodas and small odds and ends when you don't feel like making a full grocery run.

Locals will tell you the cigarette prices tend to run lower than a lot of other spots around town, and the selection is bigger than you'd expect from a shop this size. The word around Kent is that this one runs on its people. For many years, one man has held it down, often the only face behind the counter, and the folks who've been coming a long time swear by him.

Ask anyone who shops here regularly and you'll hear about the jokes, the sucker handed to a kid on the way out, and the feeling of being welcomed like family. One longtime regular calls it the best smoke shop around and means it. Not everyone walks away sold, and we'll be straight about it: a few people have run into a rougher moment at the counter, and there's the odd grumble about a card fee.

Most of the steady traffic, though, keeps coming back for the convenience, the fair cigarette prices, and the easy in-and-out. It stays open late, which makes it a reliable stop for anyone in the area after most places have closed. If you're looking for a no-fuss smoke shop in Kent with a real neighborhood feel, E Z Smoke & More is worth a stop.
