I'll just switch to buying the 'value' stuff from the supermarket, or shop at Aldi's to make up for extra costs!

Good to see an article like this, a full year before the MHRA is deadlined to make it's decision regarding the ban of the same devices the government claims to be endorsing. I sincerely hope that vaping gets officially recognized.

Lets face it here, they've banned alot of things right ?

Vape on, lee

Factor in the fact that vaping reduces the profits of the pharmacy business AND the tobacco companies and I rather suspect we will be looking back on this time as the "Golden Age"

The irony is that vaping in place of smoking truly is the solution to so many issues but we will get taxed and attacked back to the stone age.

they will have to prove that vaping is as bad as smoking before they tax it to death.

I do hope i'm wrong but almost any form of anecdotal nonsense will be passed off as fact. The anti-smoking lobby and the two industries mentioned previously do have a history of this

i strongly dispute the idea that elected governments are in the pockets of big pharma and big tobacco....i believe their influence is minimal.
