Kate, I think Andy is brilliant - he comes across so well in his video's.

At the moment I can't listen to his video as I need to reboot my lappy to get sound (for some odd reason I lose all audio after putting my lappy into sleep mode). Will reboot a bit later on & get back to this.

[Chrissie]

Kate, I'm confused - does he only want those questions answered & reply via a video?

If so, no can do as for starters, I haven't got a video camera

OT, I think some people will be pleased to see Andy has had his hair cut

[kate]

Yes, it's video submissions he wants so he can have real people answering the questions and talking about vaping.

I won't be doing it myself, no camera either and camera shy anyway

[Chrissie]

Lol Kate, I'm also very camera shy.

Hi kate I put the above link up on the SD forum - I hope he gets a large response.

Afraid I won`t be sending one in.
I hate pictures of myself and the thought of me in video with sound

[lynwlt]

Same here..
I don't have the means and I suspect the world would pay me not to use them if I had them.
I'm going to fire off another letter to my MP and insist upon a response this time.

Really wish there was some way we could help Andy get this off the ground, other than us having to make a video.

Might give it a go, if i can find my webcam, haven't used it in yonks...

you lot better not giggle tho

[Lilac]

One question...on a question, as it were...

3. If they were banned, would you go back to analogues / smoking?

what do you think is the best response to the above...?

as in, are they looking for me saying i wouldn't go back to analogues and would source the necessary elsewhere rather than go back..

or that if the ban goes ahead, it would force me back to analogues ???

i would source elsewhere as long as it remained feasible, but if customs were constantly confiscating my liquid, etc, then i'd have to rethink...

[Chrissie]

Oh Lilac, it would be fantastic if you gave it a go & I promise we wouldn't giggle

I think the question means an outright ban ie not even being able to source elsewhere. For me sadly, that would most likely mean me going back to smoking over 50 a day & killing myself by doing so

I feel sure you must have a webcam on your Aldi laptop, Chrissie ???

As for your later post re being camera shy - I bet that's the reason you haven't found your webcam

I for one am glad to see that Andy's had a haircut

scylla

[Chrissie]

Scylla, honestly, do some lappys come with a built in webcam ???

I'm not sure about the hair cut - think it's too short now

[Lilac]

Yes, most do nowadays Chrissie

dont like the haircut, sorry Andy, liked it better the way it was....

gonna log off and watch the gogglebox now, am suffering from shattereditis :-[

My thinking is give the truth.

IMHO I would forget the hypothetical total ban scenario as they cannot stop you 100% from sourcing liquid and or equipment from outside the UK.
Lets face it most will buy on the black market or from China .
So why pretend we will start smoking Cigarettes again unless you really will.

I think what we need to make clear is we will not be buying Gum, Patches or Lozenges as they simply dont work to satisfy our needs.
