UK Gov To Ban Disposables?

[zouzounaki]

Both, there will be many more campaigns to ban vape related stuff....once that door has opened

maybe irresponsible stuff. but both govs have been clear they think vapes are a good thing for smokers. i think your view is simply the kind of doom-mongery we always see about here.

Your definition of irresponsible stuff, will most likely differ from the ban brigade they won't stop until there is nae cheese left, it's just what they do once they get a sniff.

I actually came across the expanded version of this article they showed on the News At Ten last night, and it was overwhelmingly negative...
From things like some guy saying his 13 yr old had been admitted to hospital for some lung condition "he thought was connected to vaping", and while being interviewed in a darkened room, he was talking about his "addicted son" like he was on crack or something...

To Prof Ann McNeil, one of the co-authors of the original 2015 report, being interviewed and being made to literally squirm in her chair about the "95% less harmful" tag.. something she then back-peddled on, saying "it is out of date"... (Huh?)

And the main guy ("expert") Dr Mike McKean, the way he said - "There are many children, young people who have taken up vaping who never intended to smoke and are now likely addicted to vaping. And I think it's absolutely shocking that we've allowed that to happen."
Well, for starters, where is your evidence that a significant proportion "never intended to smoke"...
.. and short of having prohibition in the form of some kind of extremely authoritarian totalitarian state, how would it have even been possible to stop some kids trying it? (whether shocking or not)

I tell you, more & more I simply think they have got it in for vaping (and vapers)...

I think you're right. That whole piece last night was just so full of holes and unanswered questions without any credible evidence to back it up. The problem is that we as vapers are a minority so when ill informed people are given a platform like the BBC they negatively sway a lot of peoples opinions.

It's pretty clear they won't stop at disposables....they weren't that happy with vaping before them

100% the following folks wont stop at banning disposables. I think the Tories are more interested in killing off the poor, members of the LGBT community, plus the sick & disabled, but even Sunak might jump on the populist vaping is evil bandwagon, anything for a few more votes does him.

Correct 100% of a lot of things are lethal that are therapeutic in lower amounts

like caffeine

100% the following folks wont stop at banning disposables. I think the Tories are more interested in killing off the poor, members of the LGBT community, plus the sick & disabled, but even Sunak might jump on the populist vaping is evil bandwagon, anything for a few more votes does him.

the main issue with these badges Andi is that labour will DEFO go for vapes.

Sadly

as for labour you don’t need to worry, those useless cunts will not even win the next election

You need to be concerned about the SNP, they're even more anti vape than Labour are.

i don’t believe so. they have more things to worry about. but we will see.

 

[zouzounaki]

@andipandi what makes you think so?

Until this whole disposable crap, I would agree. I do think it's put vaping under the spotlight again.

... and it will probably all be fine until the next fiasco. Which will probably be dildos that shoot vape up your arse or something equally headline grabbing.
