Disposable with your Haggis?

[zouzounaki]

the only one that could be considered reprehensible is the flavor ban.

it seems to be talking about a ban on flavoured e-cigs, rather than a ban on flavoured e-cig fluid.

Yes.. and I have no idea how influential Ash Scotland (or the idiots they invited from Aus) are or not.. let's just hope & pray they not in this case...

i’m just happy we agree that “scotland” is not actually taking advice from australia

Think it is important to not exaggerate here… This report is not about vaping in general, but how to reduce or eliminate the environmental damage from disposables, and the policy suggestions, Aussie or not, are compared based on this goal I found most of the measures they suggest to be rather reasonable…

Believe me, I agree that there are politicians who will be moronic enough to try and copy the Aussie catastrophe regardless of the consequences, it’s almost as certain as it is idiotic

A flavour ban is far from reasonable, that alone should get people shitting themselves, esp. liquid producers, who have pre established and well liked and loved ranges, across the flavour spectrum. I dont think they will just ban certain flavours in disposables.

Some of the Scottish MSPs I've seen prattling on in your parliament often reference Australia when talking (shit) about vaping.

Well, I think we can agree that we will have to wait & see if Scotland is actually taking advice from Aus or not.. (or the UK, via Steve Barclay, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care)...
Both articles I have linked to in this thread suggest there is a high chance they (either Government) could be being influenced by some element of Australia's failed policy...

But, although the Aus approach to vaping is scary, it is evident that the UK is planning to change it's policy towards vaping -

.. the recent call for evidence on youth vaping to identify opportunities to reduce the number of children accessing and using vape products.
He said: “This closed on 6 June 2023 and we will now consider a range of options based on the evidence provided, including potential changes to vaping policy and regulation. We will respond later this year.”

i’ve not seen any evidence that “scotland” is taking advice from australia, so i’ll not wait and see. if in the future they take advice from australia that will be new information.

which ones? i rarely ever watch politicians talking in parliament, especially the scottish one.

 

[zouzounaki]

i think it would be quite an innovative move if they banned flavours in pre-filled devices, and at the same time took steps to encourage e-cig use and promote local economic activity in the area. probably unlikely, but who knows? i don’t think they have jurisdiction over the tpd related stuff.

Cant remember, there was some Green, Gillian Mackay i think and some other mutants, it was something i saw on twitter and youtube months ago, to do with a current (back then) consultation.

Doesn't matter what they say, it's a hot air parliament. UK will veto it if they step out of line... again.
