Disposable vapes to be banned

[FootballFan]

I'm a vaper but I agree with this. The disposable vapes are a blight. So many just get hoyed on the deck when finished. I've never had a disposable. I charge my non disposable every night and it lasts all day.

so its a blight because of littering? give over man

Big tobacco at play here, also government losing too much tax revenue. Won't be long until they start slapping huge taxes on vape sales.

£25 per vape

Awful idea .

It's an amazing idea. Should have been illegal from day one

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. On so many levels

Perhaps a minority use them that way, majority seen in public puffing away on them in public places being completely inconsiderate to others around them. Normally chav or gothy types, aye its embarrassing. Never see anyone well kept, respectable etc with a vape do you?

I like to think of me being respectable and I vape, as a way of getting of cigarettes - maybe it’s the places you go

Is this 95% a fact supported by scientistific research carried out over a long term not funded by anyone with any interest in such product being labelled as 'better'?

It seems more people just vape instead of smoking but few actually stop vaping.

Yes, the data is provided by NHS

Thanks, just looked it up and from 2015, thankfully we are looking more into the long term issues with it now. Hopefully they are just used for people stopping smoking but the raise in youngsters using them show different in that age group.

Maybe you're respectable till you start vaping?

Do you think it was preferable for me to spend £300 a month and risk almost certain cancer by continuing to smoke cigarettes just so you wouldn’t be embarrassed ?

There'd be less smokers if vaping was banned. Loads of young uns doing it who'd not have gone near a tab.

Does vaping not have health risks? Genuine question.

95% less than tabs, according to the NHS

The issue is dodgy shops, real or online, selling them to the under 18s

Didn't realise that.

Of course not. Everyone blowing stinking vapes all over isn't the answer either though is it.

You'd think they'd relealise that prohibition has never worked and never will, where there's a market someone will provide it. Shame the kernts cant' ban profiteering from big business instead of meaningless shite like this.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

First they ban dog turds, now disposable vapes, what are we going to have covering our pavements and grass verges now then? Bloody nanny state.

Pink bubblegum is no longer part of the pavement patina.

Will still make it more difficult for kids to get hold of.

I think this is an issue all over the country tbh , vapes marketing is at kids.

The idea you get them in flavours like bubblegum is not pushing it to adults

Us adults like our vapes to be flavoured too, I don't think I know a vaper who doesn't use flavoured vaping liquid.

Double the number of 12-18 year olds drink booze than vape, but that won't be banned. Bonkers from the Government, particular the alleged 'libertarian' one.

But under 18s can't legally buy alcohol, have you thought of that, it is banned then!

You're wrong mate. There's a difference in the flavours between adults and under 18 but it's not as wide as you'd think.

Only 12% of adults use tobacco flavours, it's 2.3% for kids.

Fruit, mint, and sweet flavours are the norm for all ages.

It won't, we've been trying to stop kids drinking alcohol for god knows how many years..

Under 18s can't legally buy vapes.

The post was on about the government banning drink for 12 to 18 yrs old?
