Actually the introduction of an ecig into boots is quite a boon for vaping. Its shows that a large branded company that does not stock tobacco products is giving its support to vaping and ecigs. If more corporations do this, it may help to make vaping more mainstream and acceptable when viewed by government and regulatory bodies, and may help to stop vaping being classed the same as smoking.

pharmacies other than Boots have been stocking e-cig-a-likes(bought-in brands) for a good while now, but Boots I believe have been quite adamant about introducing their own brand, and good on them for doing so (in line with the good stuff in your post)...

..my incredulation was at what they are charging for them, it's only a cig-a-like after all

As per the title, just been in for something, and I spied a display of e-cig stuff.....

...it was their Puritane gear....

...posh blister pack with one cig-a-like battery, usb charger, and two xl cartos...

....I thought to myself, on first glance, "good for them"....


...then I looked at the price



...£22:99 !!!!!!!



I walked out of there with my X6/PT-II/airflow controller in my hand, giggling

Seems they owe a sh!t load of tax too! johnnyvoid.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/uk-uncut-set-to-boot-out-boots/

I just love the fact my local superdrug sells mostly biscuits and tobacco / fags !! oh and some cig-a-likes too. I know they aren't a pharmacy but i still think it's a bit odd. come and get you OTC medicines and a pack of smokes whilst yer at it. lol

I go to blackpool 2 or 3 times a year and where the tram lines leaves the seafront to go inland towards the old tram storage the corner of that road is a chemist that advertisers it sells medication cigarettes and alcohol

My local Superdrug has a Pharmacy counter for dispensing prescribed drugs and does NOT sell biscuits and tobacco products

I've been thinking about this.

They will be rubbish, won't they? (Yes, Dave.... )

People will see, buy and try, then get disillusioned.

We mop up the mess and flog them some proper gear from proper vendors.

Job Done.
