Councils call for disposable ban.

[todd]

Utter tosh, just another sign that we are giving into the idiots that go crawling about looking for the next thing to be offended by!

Laws are already in place, recycle, do not sell to minors and job done.

 

[Mitz]

Personally, I think councils should be banned.

no one going to be able to tax a shortfill

Umm.. I guess they could if they wanted to...

In Portugal they tax liquid at €0.323/ml plus 23% VAT.. but I don't think that applies that to nicotine-free shortfills...

In Germany, legislators approved a tax that applies to both nicotine-containing and nicotine-free e-liquid -

The government will collect €0.16 ($0.19 U.S.) per milliliter beginning July 1, 2022. The tax will then increase in steps until 2026, when it tops out at €0.32/mL. For a 10 mL bottle of e-liquid (the legal maximum size under current TPD rules) that costs €5.00, that’s a price increase of about 30 percent in 2022, rising to 60 percent four years later.

I'm hoping of course that the UK doesn't follow suit on taxation of vapes...

no they can't, its food flavorings and base, no nicotine no case.

Oh just saw that germany thing, but yeah whatever they had hitler

And we have the Tories. Very similar to the Nazis.

And we have the Tories. Very similar to the Nazis.

So far, under Tory/coalition governments, the UK has led the way globally in vaping...

They actually seemed to listen to PHE and the Royal College of Physicians' reports over the years, and just this year have done the unprecedented giveaway of a million vape kits, under the 'Swap To Stop' scheme.

But, as seen in Parliament recently, the mood does seem to be changing, with many lies & untruths thrown into the mix, that may be an excuse to change direction -

Saying that, I think whatever freedoms of vaping will be under greater threat under a Labour government...

I mean - somewhat out of context, they really arnt - ww use the term Nazi too lightly.

in spades they are the party of regulation

 

[zouzounaki]

A no win situation at the moment. I think disposables are going to have to change somehow to survive.

they’ll need to stop being disposable and go back to being the refillable pods they used to be.

they’ll need to stop being disposable and go back to being the refillable pods they used to be.

Or, in the event of a ban on disposables, I see more of a market for prefilled pods (which I also despise, too limited options, closed system)...
The main disposable brands (Elf Bar, Crystal Bar) already do them.
