The vaping crisis

[Moomin]

Just makes me sad seeing teenagers vaping everywhere that the nicotine industry is still finding ways to turn the young into addicts and skint to pay for their habit.

I remember pointing this all out on threads years ago I started just to antagonise @Ashtonian

Popcorn lung was ignored. You tried to warn them but as usual you were ignored or castigated. Well now they’ll learn.

Suprised they haven't been taxed yet like tobacco.
Surely must come at some stage.

Not too bothered what people decide to inhale but this supposed pandemic of littering of the disposable ones is disgusting. Mainly because anyone who litters is a Category A scruff.

If memory serves me correctly, I'm sure vaping was brought in to get people off cigarettes via a prescription. Now it's readily available to all and sundry, with fruity flavours to appeal to the youth. Flipping hate the things.

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?

Good. I hope the same happens in Ireland.. I work in a secondary school and vaping is epidemic, it's far more commen than smoking ever was. It might be less harmful to your body than smoking but probably not good for you to just start vaping.
