Gotta back Renton on this one Ginge.
Lithium batteries dont really explode in mods now unless the person using them is a total ****ing gimp and hasn't got a clue.

Hmm, Most explode in the USA bro. Not heard of exploding mods here as vaping is illegal.

Its a million times better.
There are zero toxins in proper vape liquid, all that bullshit about popcorn lung and other crap is just that, crap.
The World Health Organisation have said its AT LEAST 95% healthier than smoking regular cigarettes,
Plus its far cheaper, doesnt kill you, and doesn't make you smell like a walking ashtray.

Still though, when vaping in public or in someone elses house/car, you still need to be mindful and respectful, its like taking your shoes off in someones house, if they say you have to do it, then you do it or you dont come in.

You do realise it was probably only half century a go that doctors used to promote cigarettes, much the same as you are with vaping, however, time dawned a different reality.

You have no way of being sure how safe e-cigs are, only time will tell the truth and by then, you and i are unlikely to be alive.

From the point of view of someone who doesn't smoke Vaping is a hellova lot better than normal smoking for non smokers, I'd rather a cloud of the fruity smelling stuff to the rank smell of cigarettes. I really don't understand why people smoke cigarettes. Well I do understand that it's an addiction but you know what I mean.

Growing up in the 70's whenever you went out on the street you would see huge billboards with cigarette advertising. All the glamour sports were sponsored by cigarette companies, most of the films had product placements. Much different to the 80's and onwards.

you could go into a shop and buy a single tab, now you can't even buy 10.

the govt want you to stop, but force you to buy 20, strange thinking.

I think that was due to cost mate and preventing under age kids from smoking. ie they could afford a pack of 10 but not a pack of 20. Also to take away the 'coolness' of having a pack of 10 as a minor.

I am a very occasional 'casual' smoker. I enjoy a tab once in a while with a pint, if I'm out with others who smoke.

I'd buy ten, I won't buy twenty. In that respect, it has worked. Not sure the idea was aimed at my type though!

Yeah works for people like you but for some it will certainly be worse.

I generally smoke rolll ups but when I was smoking ***s I'd always smoke a 20 deck quicker than a 10 relatively speaking.


I saw the other day that the UK government want to eradicate smoking completely by 2030. Can't see that.

I have rollies at home, and proper ones for work, cos i'm to lazy to make enuff to take.

some breaks the smoke shelter is just a plume, cos about 80% are on vapes.

2030....I'll should be dead by then, so good luck to them.
 
I much prefer a rollie for my crafty ***!

They used to do a small pouch, the filters, pack of papers, all in a ten size box.

Even those are now banned.

I fancy getting a pipe when I'm an old man, proper good one. I envisage myself in a wingback puffing on my pipe with a good rum to sip on. Good times. Mrs luv isn't happy.
