UK Gov To Ban Disposables?

[Rickster]

This I believe was always their game plan.

Yip and no amount of online consultation surveys will make a blind bit of difference, I get that they make folks feel better in that they are doing something, having their say....but I will not be wasting my time with any of them.
If the likes of Vampire Vape and the other big boys want to stay in business they can and are well capable, have the means to do it themselves, they brought much of this upon themselves.

That does sound like a tar with the same brush kinda statement...

I would agree that the manufacturers (main brands) of disposables have been irresponsible to a large degree, especially in lack of recycling schemes, and also marketing practices, and ignoring & fuelling the fire in what was inevitably gonna come...

But this is not only about Disposables it's about everything Vape related, I remember looking for Mods etc when i first quit smoking and there were 3 main colours for items that were being sold, they were Silver, Black and Gunmetal and from what i remember people were happy with them and some even now still only buy them particular colours. It was the manufacturers who decided to bring in these colours and various graffiti style skins that were not obviously aimed at Adults. One of the first that come to mind was the Innokin Gem Pen, i remember seeing it and thinking i am not a fucking kid. My point is Vape Gear isn't aimed at the people who of legal age but to the Youths who love this type of thing. If a teenager likes and buys something how long is it before the younger kids want the same, i think they call it the Butterfly Effect.

They don't have the means manpower to enforce the current laws, by banning they are hoping we will not be flooded, it's pure hope.

I read somewhere that 50% of the disposables in the UK were illegal so this figure will only rise as I can imagine there is gonna be one hell of a illegal black market.

I totally agree that the manufacturers and vendors need to come together and make a united stand. I will still continue to fight it as an individual also as it is my human right to voice my concerns.

Blimey, perhaps we should introduce Ford Model T type regulations so everything sold is in black.

I bloody hope not. I love my shiny silver mods and am quite fond of my rainbow tanks.

I don't mind coloured mods and have a few myself, what i am saying if you bothered to read the post is that some colours and designs are aimed at children the same goes for vape liquid labels. I can't go out so it doesn't matter to me what colour mod i have.

I do wonder who is going to decide what colours and designs are aimed at children and not adults hence my tongue in cheek response everything should be black. I suspect we'll end with vapes being treated just like cigarettes.

The UK Government alway fuck things up. why should vaping be any different. It's aimed at Disposables and Flavours and you can bet your ass it will move on to something else Vape Related. They think they are doing the Country a favour but in reality they are just fucking thins up as usual. Personally i am not over concerned what happens, life still goes on. Well until Russia decides to Nuke us for sticking our nose in.
