China Bans Smoking in Public Places May 1st

[Clutter]

As per the title. Ban doesn't apply to the work place and there are no penalties for violating the ban so it may not have much effect.

I did wonder how it might affect Vaping supplies if the ban was enforced though. Would there be shortages (1 in 3 of the world's smokers are in China)? Or would there be huge increases in production and leaps in technology, bringing down prices and making all our Christmases?

I've got my fingers crossed for the Latter Clutter

I hope with the inevitable surge in demand that the quality of products wont suffer. In the rush to keep up with demand.

I think that's more likely than prices dropping - kit's incredibly cheap already.

China's health system must be feeling the pinch

They'll ban smoking then they'll have a major obesity problem

I know the feeling

That's already happening as they've been adopting a Western diet with more meat.

I wish I could. It's been a lifelong struggle for me to put on weight and was often one of the reasons I quit smoking for a while. I finally got to my ideal weight 6 years after quitting smoking and was thrilled to have boob cleavage.

I had a very difficult year last year and have lost 251b:( Back to this side up on the boobs front Thank goodness I was too idle to recycle my size 12 clothes.

I used to drop weight at a worrying rate, since I've packed in smoking though I seem to be stuck at a size 12 - 14, I've never been this weight in my life - apart from when I was pregnant! I've always been around a size 8 - 10 so I'm not a happy bunny LOL.

I dont have a size because I am a dude. When I was a young(er) man and smoking the combustibles I had a bad op and dropped to 6stn, then with the other bits and bobs that were entering my system I could never get over 7.5stn, then I quit that shiz and got to 8stn, started vaping and am happy to say I am now a staggering 11stn. I can now sit down for longer without my ass bones giving me pressure sores. Tis a happy time

I was told that vaping has not taken off in China by a friend of mine that lives there, but he always was a bit dense bless him. I have to agree with Hifi tho, the kits are as cheap as chips for what they are (not that chips are cheap any more) *mumble mumble*
