As for vaping on or in hospitality settings where the businesses allow such a thing, if/ when labour get in they will ban it, no vaping where smoking is not allowed and I dare say they will try and ban smoking areas/ beer gardens as well.
That's pretty much the case already, you used to be able to vape in almost every pub in the town I go out in... now there is only 1 where it is allowed. There isn't a single cafe where you can any more. I think it's mainly because of pressure from other customers, who still think vaping is smoking. The days where it was one of the advantages of switching seem long gone. In 90% of cases no smoking means no vaping too, even when it's outside.
Not my experience, there was lots of stuff available: variously from 2012 onwards there were carto's, egos/ CE5's, isticks, nautilus (full size, then Mini), the Aspire K range and their BVC coils, even those disposable fag like things that glowed red on the end (Cigalikes). What didn't work very well were a large amount of RTAs (DTL and MTL), whether clones or authentic, even drippers were somewhat useless, bu those have never been the target audience for people who use D's, not then and not now.
Yeah, all that was pretty much over by the time I started, at least none of the shops had them, even the first nautilus I first bought was used on here. My local shops were full of Kangertech and we were well into the 'sub-tank' stage. Cleitos and all that ... My first kit was DTL with a 'MTL coil' and the wattage turned down, that was the most suitable thing they had. 6 months later and we were well into the 'wattage wars' for mods. You could find stuff if you looked but it wasn't the trend. Smok Alien kits were the trend.
Liquid wise, I was buying TW Titan range and local independent vape shop eliquid at 60/40 from 2012 onwards. Nic wise i was on 36mg for a while and then variously down to 24mg-ish until tpd in 2016.
Yeah, I started in 2016... the trend was higher VG (as high as possible) and then short fill after the TPD. The only thing 50/50 pre-made my local shops had was those cheap 'house brands' .... There was only Manabush, Digbys and a few others. It was a pretty bad time to start vaping on reflection.
Without the forum it would have been pretty difficult to find anything.
A couple of years later the Zenith and all that Innokin 'Platform' series stuff came out, which was a response to there not being much MTL stuff around and kind of started a good time for MTL but there was a few years when it was really bleak. ... and that was when I started vaping, there was the high end stuff but regular production stuff was very slim pickings.

I most certainly smoked a lot in my first two years of smoking, 30-35 unfiltered roll up's a day plus bonging all manner of cigars, I wouldn't say the damage was negligible.
It probably would have been if you has stopped then, Your lungs would have had plenty of time to recover. I'm guessing like me you smoked for over 30 years though, which is like vaping continually for multiple lifetimes... which of course isn't even possible.
Personally it's low enough that I'm not even concerned. So that is negligible to me... I also enjoy a drink now and again, I like cake, I like sugar, I like riding a vespa at 70mph down a motorway.. I would absolutely be more concerned living in a smoggy city.
Seat belts don't make you even close to 95% safer in a car..... and they definitely don't make you 100% safe, but we still drive cars. I guess I don't really understand the issue. We are talking about something that will probably kill you in the end compared to something that is pretty unlikely to, what do people want? nothing is 100% 'safe' and we don't usually expect it to be.
Two said they would buy a pod system/ AIO, the thrid said he would get his D's from street drug dealers, because, he said - "They're bound to be popular, so drugs dealers will sell them"
