Bonzo77 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I am, of cause, talking about the electronic cigarette, or the e-cig. After a slight relapse into the world of cigarettes, I decided to try one. They are fantastic. I can hardly tell the difference. The best thing is the fact that they still give off a smoke like vapour. I'm going to enjoy annoying the anti smoking brigade with my new toy. How long do you think it will be before the tax on these e-cigs starts to increase? How long before they are banned from public houses?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 They're getting banned around the world due to them being untested for medical use, and apparently being dangerous Although still legal here for now, some people think its only a (short) matter of time! There was a thread last week in Sheffield Discussions about them, which turned into a debate on their safety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason they are getting banned is because the big pharmaceutical companies didn't think of them first. They must make billions on nicotine replacement products. Load of rubbish, smoke on!

Thats what i though, they'll just start getting them made 'more safely' by some pharmaceutical company, and bump the price up and include some smoking tax on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/ the quality is amazing, all made from stainless steel. The big pharmaceutical companies have got so much power though. They will get what they want, eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm going to enjoy annoying the anti smoking brigade with my new toy. Giving up fags is good, well done. I guess you have to derive pleasure by other means..let's hope it doesn't become an addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedith Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Problem with these things as that you are never getting out of the 'hand to mouth' routine of smoking. Withdrawal by the way of NRT patches or gum, I think is a better alternative. Many pubs won't allow them as its hard to distinguish the electronic cigarette from a real cigarette at a distance ... realistically a licensee can't spend all this time watching out for which option is being used. A defence of 'I thought it was an electronic cigarette' wouldn't stand up in court! If you're going to stop smoking, just do it, its not all that bad if you can get over the first 2wks.

Leah-Lacie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I don't know how they can be made safer. Apparently, they still contain some chemicals or other that they claim not to (according to some very limited research done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to enjoy annoying the anti smoking brigade with my new toy. Then you'll be wasting your time. Anti-smokers will be pleased you've made the change. Smokers, on the other hand, perhaps not: Third of smokers are 'saboteurs' A third of smokers have admitted to sabotaging another person's attempt to quit, according to research. Jealousy, guilt about their own habit and wanting a smoking "buddy" were among the reasons to wreck other people's quitting attempts. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5i0xAzluVv9ZLhp_Y5LXI9WFQE2Sw?docId=N0041371343314797978A Which just adds more to the list of negatives about smokers!
