Doctor opens e-cig shop next to surgery - yay

Shared on FB and Twitter. OK, the prices are high, but if it gets people off tobacco and into vaping instead, then who are we to object? After all, that's exactly what we want, isn't it?
If people are happy to pay those prices, let them if they are vaping instead of smoking. If they feel the prices are too high, then they will find the cheaper online vendors sooner or later, just like we have.
I think it should be adopted nationally

True. I guess it's not like E-Lites which can eat £100 in just a few weeks of vaping... and probably not work either.

Those prices are eyewateringly high. However, it's a B&M shop with overheads and employs staff, so I can only hope the staff are paid a decent wage, not the minimum etc etc.
And in the interview thing I read, they do offer a discount voucher to 'patients' who use their shop

I'm more interested in the positive endorsement this gives to vaping......after all if a GP as good as prescribes it, then it must be ok? Beats exploding battery stories any day.

Yes - that's good, and yes - I agree.



£5 for a 10p bit of wire though is harsh. I'm fairly sure this "shop" was in a place where there was a high proportion of smokers and people on low incomes. I know it's cheaper than smoking, and it's all good news, but I can't condone that sort of thing.

[sleedale]

Have to agree it's rip off, and if it's in an area of low incomes then it's shameful........well shameful in any case really. But it'll only take one or two people who buy from the shop, change to vaping then look for better prices elsewhere, to pass on the....'you can get it cheaper here' information.

Would it be worth trying to contact him and get him to pass on this forum to shop users? For good information purposes of course

Good idea.

Then again, knowing clued up folks, they'll soon look on ebay for evods and CE4s and then they'll be in for a shock.

So true and when they don't last they'll google elsewhere

I had Mrs Grump the other month moan about Cameron's stall (she complains about everything - not cameron's fault) and she had gone and googled where to get her stuff from and found UK e-cig store which she seemed happy with (at the time.....LOL) so I'm with you on this one @dj

Just remember 3 years ago we were paying £60 for a decent starter kit. £35 for a 'basic' starter kit.... - note how things have changed and I converted then and also it helped me get out of debt because I had to bulk buy everything....

Can't remember how much my first mods were? One from LF was about £15 and I thought that was cheap (just a basic mech box mod with 14500 batteries) and was happy with it till I found a screwdriver clone which I took backpacking (no backups) - complete with 101 cartos LOL
