maybe the tobacconist should succumb to the inevitable and learn about the vaping industry and start selling quality vaping equipment

But this is surely a part of business? You can't sue someone for selling a product more up to date and frankly "better" than yours. That's like a horse and cart dealer suing the car dealership next door.

Stoopid frogs!

Just watch this case. It stinks to me. I don't think a small tobacconist would bring it.

Look behind the front man, who's money is backing him up?

Big pharma, the anti smoking lobby, government, big tobacco and now even 'little tobacco' by the sounds of it... they're all getting desperate and clutching at straws, finding any way they can possibly come up with to try and scupper vaping.

The fact they're all getting desperate is just proof positive of how much successful vaping has become.

That is insane! As a tobacconist myself, i'm happy to send customers to the e cig shop around the corner. I'm a customer there myself! You really do have to wonder about the morals of some people!

Always found it daft that I couldn't buy fags in French supermarkets when I was over there, and had to seek out a little tabac to buy them a pack at a time, instead of 200 cartons.

Isn't that kind of like saying, "I wish I could buy e-juice in supermarkets rather than having to seek out little online retailers"??
I thought the general feel here was against big business and big-pharma???

Why do people use this as an excuse for jingoist crap? In this thread so far we see uses of the terms "cheese eating surrender monkeys" and "frogs".
Come on guys, spare us from your nonsense!
