Ecig sales to children ITV "news item" on the 6:30 news soon
- Thread starter Nanook
- Start date
I'm glad it was legal to smoke, drink, shag and take drugs when I was 15.
Apparently, it's not legal to render unconscious and sexually molest a policeman with a bag of courgettes when you're 16. If you are planning on doing just that to celebrate your 16th birthday then don't - shit will go down.
Stick to boring old legal drink, drugs and fornication.
Don't fucking smoke though. Smoking is way badder than drinking. And only stupid bastards uses ecigs - New Model Army had it on a T-shirt so it must be true.

Add a bit of blood and you've got a nice Midsomer Murder plot.

As we all (most at least) know the under 18 thing is a self imposed thing, by the e-cig industry. That not all follow.
And we all know that most start smoking at 15-16 (some earlier). So to be able to use a safer product, you need to be smoker for a couple of years first.
Those that would have us disappear, must be running on ideas. As most of their other rubbish has now been discredited, and proven wrong by proper research.
If they are that worried about youngsters and ecigs, then get on with the ban of sale to under 18's. But then we come round to those smokers that are under 18, again.
What gives even the e-cig industry, let alone the powers that be. The right to remove easy access to a product, marketed as a SAFER alternative to tobacco, from a smoker wishing to use a safer alternative, regardless of age. Not forgetting even ASH say, they are a gateway out of smoking tobacco, and not into.

i used to buy real tobacco produsts when i was 12... i fail to see the point of this story...
--> people break the law,
people are oblivious of laws
and sometimes people just slip up.
It has nothing to do with e-cigs at all, you could replace ecig with alcohol/knifes/tobacco and its the same story
