UK Gov To Ban Disposables?

[SirLugg]

We'll have to agree to differ on that^...

As you said -

We don't have to agree at all. It’s an opinion.

 

[Mitz]

I wouldn't be bothered either...

In our store, we don't have much on show.. just a few examples...
We used to let people in to the main room and be surrounded by wall-to-wall products, and then Covid happened...
.. and then we just carried on keeping peeps out of the products room.. too much temptation for thievery for some...

Having displays inside a dedicated vape store doesn't bother me. As an 18+ product and vape shops exclusively selling vaping products kids should be kept out anyway. I don't personally think window displays are necessary tho. My local vape shop has blacked out windows so you have to go in to see what they've got. The difference with petrol stations and corner shops having them all on display is that they sell so much other stuff that kids come in to buy and then they see all the displays full of disposable vapes next to the sweets they've come to buy. Just don't think vapes should be openly advertised in places where kids go to shop for kiddie stuff like sweets and drinks.

Totally agree. Vapes should be kept with the fags. It's ridiculous to put them on display next to the sweet isle.

a shop close to me has all manner of disposables, cartoon character eliquid and suchlike displayed in the window next to the bongs and king size skins and blunt tubes, window on the other side is crammed with cheap toys.

one of those tax dodge american sweet shops in the town centre had a neon “vapes” sign in the window.

Well while on this topic, the Sainsburys next door (not a big one) has recently taken all their vapes out of the tobacco cupboard, expanded the range (disposables + about 2 bottles of liquid), and made them clearly visible (because they can).

 

[zouzounaki]

if head shops hadn’t all been closed down they’d be full of disposables. none of it is really a good look.

 

[MarylinC37]

Yes but thankfully all the "evidence" now shows us that disposables are an absolute god send so it won't be a problem.

If vaping disappears up its` own arse, and I dont believe it will, it`ll be in most part because trading standards weren`t on the ball when everybody and his dog jumped on the money train, the legislation has always been in place, it just wasn`t imposed rigorously enough.

[vapervince]

what legislation?

The legislation that charges trading standards with policing illegal sales.
