The Future of Vaping in the West?

Wow, sounds pretty bad. If I don't sell any, I currently have about 33 different tanks, RBA/RTA, the odd RDA, some of the new generation like a couple of NeBox,3 x T18, over Eleaf Basic, and about 14-16 18650.
A lifetime supply of Muji cotton, various rolls of Kanthal, some Nickel, and also a bunch of Cartomiser tanks from a couple of years back. There's probably more, got a few items over in UK. Provided I resist the temptation to sell, and I can export/import for 'my own personal use' - I should just about be OK.
Forgot a load of flavors and DIY stuff.
I suppose I'm a vaping 'prepper'.

Forgot about 10 Mods.....

To be honest, I'm probably going to sell some of the tanks- it's just working out which ones........

 

I have a much better idea....

 

Oh yeah!! Good idea .........hmmm.

I am happy that Haybilly is also going to be a prepper! I felt I was the only one here on TV.

I read most will stop vaping here if the going gets tuff, so they have nothing to worry about!

 

I'm working on the bunker, next, with provisions to last........ What was that saying ' X will get through times of no money, better than money will get you through times of no X', fill in the X yourselves.

Anyway, enough about this- we might get accused of being frivolous by the Big Boss. Back to serious talk, please.

 

Yes, good point, I need to get to the PC, though, but he's probably due for a change.

Smoking in the UK = massive tax revenue for the government, many times greater than the cost to the NHS of treating ailments that may have been caused by smoking. In the US, as I understand it, not being American, tax on tobacco products, and substantial donations from tobacco companies to politician's campaign funds. In LoS, sorry, I don't want to go for attitude adjustment.

 

No, it is true here also, but I understand what you refer to- not even allowed to click on a Like to a dodgy FB comment and you're in the brown stuff.

Good on Carswell, the chap who posed the question to Cameron and the PHE for the report.
As a bitter old cynic of all governments, I rather suspect that the purpose of the exercise is to figure out how, and to what extent, e-juice can be taxed. And tough on all the small businesses that go to the wall.

 

Here's a nice article from Good old Clive Bates--
Escaping the EU directive on e-cigarettes « The counterfactual

Apart from the actual article--at the bottom, the comments are great.

 

I have done some research myself after I viewed Vic's videos, those which included the prognosis for 2016. I believe it is very necessary the vaping community seperates strictly from (so called) herb users. When I is saw this Indoorsmoker getting high on Youtube it was an eye opening shock, frankly. I don't want my son to freely see these things. And that is not the hardest, by far not. I did not know this exists so openly.
I would like to suggest also this forum to either be completely free of these subjects, or place related information only to be accessible for a restricted group.

 

Seriously,Peter-k, when we're you last in UK??
A walk around any weekday market and the stalls therein will find several stalls OPENLY selling Bongs ( used for smoking herbal matter only, I think) cigarette papers, and all sorts of pipes. This is why the war against vaping is so ridiculous- until the Euro governments crack down on what still is actually illegal, even if decriminalised to a degree in many countries, why the emphasis on going after ECigs??

I only have one teenage daughter in Thailand, but I brought up 3 step children from a previous marriage in UK, they all in their 40's now and all have their own kids- they all tried 'recreational drug use' at some time or other in their youths, none of them bother nowadays- it's impossible to stop kids finding things out.
