Good on Waitrose - Although I get the feeling that they would be one retailer that it would be difficult to buy from without cast-iron ID (if required). Indeed, I’m surprised they haven’t binned all tobacco products - they strike me as a company that would likely take that step.

Good on them , can't see it making much difference though as the corner shops will never stop selling them

Good for them lets hope others follow suit .

Good for them lets hope more follow their lead. My local Morrisons have just put in a new display in the main shopping area and it's full of nothing but disposables!! I complained to the manager and asked if there was a recycle bin for them which of course there isn't. I hate them with a vengance!!

Good, though the statement "Waitrose said it has de-listed vaping products containing lithium" means any e-cig with an internal battery. Presumably they don't sell any sort of lithium batteries either.

If there are to be any bans it`s better coming from retailers then it`s not too far reaching.

good on em but cant see it making that much of a difference kids get from local corner shops who dont give a shite or if they live in an area that has a market they dont give a stuff either..

Presumably they don't sell any sort of lithium batteries either.

they do, i bought some flat ones a couple of weeks ago from the one round the corner.

i guess they are referring specifically to single use vape items. i don’t think they actually sell vape devices, just blu pods and suchlike. i didn’t even realise they were selling disposables.

 

[Phrasing]

They're stopping sales of disposables based on claims of wanting to reduce harm to youths but still selling tobacco.
Cigarettes do more damage to health so why not stop selling those too.

I hate disposables because of how wasteful they are and for the bad reputation they bring to the vape industry as a whole, so I am glad waitrose is not selling them.

but I don't see it making much,if any, difference at all. It seems like a half measure to try and convince people that they give a crap.

Does anyone even buy vapes from supermarkets anyway? My local Co op has a stand for disposables and eliquid that is so laughably unnoticed it's dusty.

Teenagers who use disposables are buying them either online or from small corner shops and the like, it should be up to the parents to stop them.

The less people are focused on this youth vaping crap the more energy can be spent on hating disposables for the right reasons lol.
