So the next potential hurdle is 10-11 July

"Commissioner Borg justified the proposal by saying that “tobacco should look like tobacco and taste like tobacco as well, not like vanilla or other sweets. These products are produced in this way to be attractive to the young. Let’s not forget that most people start smoking below the age of 25 and the majority when they are still minors”."

Time to crank up the Vanilla Custard production lines

I'm so glad e-liquid looks nothing like tobacco.
Does that mean we can assume nothing he says applies to us then? ;-)

"Let’s not forget that most people start smoking below the age of 25 and the majority when they are still minors”.

Yes let's not forget that the majority of minors start SMOKING.
Regulations on other products will not change that!


Note to self: back away from the article slowly, it's doing your blood pressure no favours!

And breathe...much more easily, thanks to vaping

[andy01424]

should also promote it as a weight loss product,where else can you have as much as you want, chocolate and vanila custard calorie free!

[Banky]

They are going to drive vaping under ground as they did when the price of tobacco went through the roof
Governments still have not learned the lesson if they say you can't have it. It's human nature take
it away from us and we will have it one way or another.
