The vaping crisis

[witchdoc187]

My youngest lad aged 24 vapes and I really wish he didn't, we all know what happens to smokers ( I've lost two of my best mates at a reasonably young age to smoking related disease) but we're swimming in unknown waters with vaping when the signs are not good.

there is no way you can inhale a chemical with the frequency people do and not get affected by it.

THC vapes literally have no smell no tobacco either. Crack cocaine here I come the possibilities are endless.

Blame oxygen for reacting to it.

One of the chemist/chemical engineers in the lab where my brother works said the same. All those chemicals going in to your body over and over and over. It will end badly.

Single use vape to be banned:

Thoughts GOT?

A sensible move to protect the health and wellbeing of the nation, particularly our young?

A nanny state move curtailing freedoms whilst simultaneously punishing honest small businesses, traders, and vape lifestyle gurus?

Sensible, if belated

It shows how unregulated it is, as with alcohol you have the Portman group kicking up a fuss as soon as a can of beer has a few colours on it, (saying it's targeting children) and winning

But here I can buy a pink gummy bear vape and act like it's a normal thing for an adult to do

I don't think they should be banned at all, but they need to be targeted at adults. They should just be flavourless, or anchovy flavour

It reminds me when MKat was legal and non drug takers thought it was fine, where it was the only drug I'd ever taken where I feared for my health

….did a job getting lots of folk off ciggies but created a new problem getting folk off vapes. I wouldn’t know what a vape looks like but suspect they’re plastic and disposable, except people don’t dispose of them properly.

You mean people like @Ashtonian lol

What if Hitler had vaped?

I had a mate who worked in the legal high business. Suppliers would send him trial products and he kept them all in this shoebox. Then one night we went round to play some video games and no one is 100% sure what happened but the shoebox got decimated. Never seen a more disgusting looking living room the next day.

Beyond scumbags just throwing them wherever, once they get cleaned up they go and add heavy metals to landfills. Ban them.

What you and Zat get up to on a weekend is none of my business.

They are nasty things but if you smoke cigarettes and vape it’s pretty widely known you have a longer life expectancy than a vegan.

They make them look like highlighter pens. If that’s not aimed at school kids I don’t know what is. Think it’s abysmal. What’s wrong with 10 B&H an 8th and 3 cans of special brew like the good old days. Takes all the fun out of it.

 

[cronullasharks]

Ban them so I can get all my regular smoking buddies back at work. Or I'll just start smoking at my desk so I'm not lonely
