    They will be imported as crazy.

    Denmark already banned it, but they are everywhere. Literally everywhere. It might be the biggest “black market” right now for anything really.

    They need refillable ones. Chargeable. It needs to be a product you buy, and they have it for a loooong time, only to buy more fluid.

    You can’t stop it by banning it, and it’s better than smoking, so please just give us the eco friendly alternative.

      We should build some kind of a moat around the UK. If we manage that, while not full proof, I have no doubt that banning it in the UK will be easier to do than somewhere without a moat.

        Correct me if I’m wrong but y’all already have a fuck-you huge moat called like The English Channel/Celtic Sea/Atlantic Ocean/North Sea or something. What you need is pungee pits outside of tobacco shoppes.

                  Imo, you deserved better than that.

                  Also, an okay-ish self depicting gag is often a good off ramp, if there’s no genuine ill will between people. I usually take them, as it keeps things light.

                  Not being horrible. I just wish someone had told me stuff like that. I’m not saying you’re young. Im just saying, I have too many grey hairs for your mom jokes.

                  But, If it makes you feel any better, I wish I wasn’t too old for them too.

      Denmark is a bit different though. They’ve cracked down on all flavours except menthol and tobacco, and they’ve taxed it similar to cigarettes. The UK is only banning disposable vapes.

        Yes. But some areas banned those first, and the flavoring you put in them. Unsure about UK considering they’re the ones publishing studies that aren’t just big tobacco/pharma lobby lies like the Diacetyl bullshit, I’d think they’re largely vape friendly (but who ever let those pesky scientists get in the way of a good ban, huh?)

      You’ve got the eco friendly alternative.

      What do you think people were vaping with before the disposable vapes?
