I truly can't see such a huge coporation as Tesco going to all the bother of launching ecigs in their stores if they felt they were going to be short lived.

I could be wrong, but most retailers want to sell items that give their customers and them a hassle free experience.

I was thinking the same thing Perpy. I would also think Tesco would have done their research about any likely proposed bans. They must have a huge research & legal team to look into things like this before launching anew product.

I really don't want to be a damp squib here but Tesco's are selling disposables at fairly dear prices.

They can't be refilled, tampered with, nic increased so they may well have sussed out that this would be approved by Government sources and may even be allowing for the fact that tobacco/nic tax could be added in the future.

They would not be attractive to children as they are expensive and don't have many flavours.

I don't think we are out of the woods yet as suppliers of unregulated juices with high nic levels may discover.

Maybe its my suspicious mind.

Has anyone tried one of these cigs yet or found out about what nic levels they contain and do they last for the equiv of 30 cigs ?

No, but I'm tempted to try just from curiosity. As you say, it's probably the nic levels that will let them down.
I tried reducing my strengths but found I was vaping more frequently and for much longer. I can vape happily on something like James's Benson Fences high or extra high, but more like the way I would smoke cigs, so I don't think my total daily nicotine intake is any higher.

I don't have as much faith in Tesco's pre-stocking research as some of you - particularly as they have recently launched their own-brand HD PVR with more faults than the Pacific tectonic plates
