Bloody typical.....just look who the maker is. I thought they were supposed to be having serious financial trouble (see other post on here). Now if we can just get some seious vendors with 3rd and 4th generation devices on telly, we will be good to go, ![*fingers*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/lr9zxpOSbZGjHVpqF7Gs.gif)

to be honest this sweet thing they are using as a argument is wearing bit thin,if you say to a kid here try this its tutti fruitti they will be repulsed,quiet a few peeps new to ecigs all have staunch it does not seem right,and i bet most of this kiddy argument will admit it to
Most people against anything want everything like a police state or there a financial gain from it,if you can speak against it,amazingly you notice how quiet they go when proved against ,like to old farts grumbling under there breath in a chair

Just read it and they can't even get the facts right, Vaping isn't Smoking! next they say! Liquid nicotine becomes vapour and is inhaled. The "smoke" produced is largely water vapour. no mention that nicotine is only a small part of the liquid and many vapours use low nitotine or the nicotine free juice, everything I've read on nicotine says it's harmless unless you ingest a very large amount, the only downside is it is addictive, but we know that because thats why most of us couldn't give up Cigs untill vaping came along, I have a very large circle of non smoking friends and not one has said I must try vaping, still I'm glad the advert is being shown, I can't wait to see the queue's of non-smokers and kids waiting to try them! just like I'm a non drinker but still go the the pub and parties with friends but still don't drink and nor does my wife,,,

If you're going to advertise, do it bl00dy properly, make the ad about the product, not about some scantily-clad model ![oumck2](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/4vyltpxwR66LBM1v4E9F.gif)

I held back til now but I've just posted on the BBC site. I pointed out the advertising of addictive substances includes tea and coffee (caffeine) and the fact that there's nicotine in spuds. I also pointed out that I don't vape any nicotine whilst conceding that advertising after the watershed is a reasonable step towards targeting smokers.
I just wish it wasn't zero-effective cig-a-likes from a failing brand.

Where was the semi-pornographic content in the VIP ad... apart from an attractive girl ( in someones' opinion ). Admittedly, it was a crap ad, but nothing like the one they aired earlier in the year, which was truly stupid. It had been psyched up to be sensational in the media, so was there a last minute decision to dilute it. In the end, a total fail. So, let's get on with it... word of mouth is the best advertiser. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
