when i took up vaping it did not involve my subscribing to the opinion of a few inflated ego's parading as the self appointed Smoke Police. i took up vaping mainly because there is a liklyhood that smoking kills, closely followed by the esculating costs. i also liked it. my intention is to save money in the short term and maintain or improve my health in the extended period. i wiould not reconsider my description of "quit smoking" unless i decided to revisit the unhealthy habit which was smoking. my vaping will not include the egotistic views of self imposed thought controllers, however i would not even attempt to deny my nicoteen addiction.
i am not the daddy nor do i aspire to be. i mealy corrected the silly opinion of the person determined to influence and re-label in persuit of satisfying their seperate self gratification.

Ah well, I tried to be civil... Are you a fast typer, or do you just not know how to spell those big long words? So you personally know quitters of both smoking and E-cigs...well call me a sceptic but I think in fact you're telling porkies. and i would be concerned as to your opinion because?

Ismeitis...if you can just for 1 sec refrain from the winding up, do you know anyone who has quit smoking, used E-cigs, then quit? I'd seriously like to know. I've introduced E-cigs to literally dozens of smokers since I started, and every one of them is still either using E-cigs, or are back on the smokes...no one i know personally has quit both... The only genuine quitter I've come across was on a forum. Thery really are not a cessation product. please at least recognise my intelect even if you cant find a way to respect it. if i claim i know persons whom quit then i make the claim from experience and in complete context. i do not need to incorporate hypathetical argument as my argument is played out on a daily basis and you seem to accept that you experience it yourself. hypatheticaly i would donate my ecigs to either you or david if alas the world was definately about to end at midnight. guess what, dont count on my fantastic collection of ecigs. it is not my intention to wind up but if frustration has found you, it is perhaps due to the failing argument you subscribe to.

not true david. you said different to what you say now, and try to justify by blaming outside influences.
step up man. have some pride. stop trying to install your nonsense on others. tesco are selling ecigs. you were wrong.
use the appropriate context and at the appropriate time if or when it arises.
we are educated adults. youre opinion is misplaced rubbish and you have no need to attempt to alter the opinion of those with greater pride than you.

I think i'm in Dave's camp lol...it's all bit confusing. For example, I can count on 1 hand, in 18 months of vaping, of people actually being able to quit E-cigs. Loads of people have quit the tabs, obviously, but no one escapes from the nicotine. I'm certainly in that group, a nicotine addict. There's no chance of me ever smoking tabs again, but that's only as long as E-cigs are available. If E-cigs were banned, I'd almost certainly end up back on the tabs. I suspect most vapers would be in the same boat. so on that basis, I think 99% of vapers have indeed 'just changed brands'. congratulations david. you have another sympathiser, who can also incorperate hypothetical anomaly to substantiate your point.

wot a load of old contradiction you provide.
you are neither of the organisations you represent through your views.
and no-one here was looking to buy insurance. on the possitive side though david, at least you accept your talking out someone elses annals.

my take on vaping is that i will continue to enjoy it and fully expect changes to occur with costs rising significantly as controls ensue. the powers will not be influenced by you. i am aware of folk who have weaned themselves comfortably from nicotine by personal choice by utilising the versatility of vaping. i recognise the massive distinction between smoking and vaping and feel no necessity to submit to definitions of the week minded conformist. ecigs suitably offer nicoteen delivery therefore ecigs equate to the ultimate smoking cessation device. i have no desire to reconsider my vocabulary and will not cosy up to the ludicrous notion that conflicts with my own intelligence. there is no smoke without fire and i quit smoking amid my discovery of ecigs. my individual intelligent conclusion tells me you did the same.
we remain appreciative of nicoteen but differ on the choice of whom to listen to in categorising ourselves. my opinion is led by logic and intelligence wheras your position is seemingly to bow down to satisfy the requirement of others. if denial of the facts suits you then so be it but i prefer to catatagorise you simply a bloke who quit smoking but lacked the pride to stand up and admit it.
you are correct you did change brand.

in other words the smoking ban refers to smoking. something that you did Quit doing upon finding suitable alternative.
nicoteen addiction does not equate to smoking. and your smack head did not change brand.

The point is, though, that e-cigs are not a quit smoking device. If they are marketed and perceived as such, then they will be taken off the shelves until such time as a Marketing Authorisation can be granted for them. That's an effective ban. E-cigs do not help you to quit - they help you continue your nicotine habit - that's why they're there. In my view, they should not be in the Pharmacy - they should most certainly be with the fags and tobacco. wot a load of old b****x. look at what the post is about. Wise up man. they will be banned or licenced when the powers that be decide, and no amount of pussy footing will delay or prevent it.

medical grade nicoteen. propylene glycol, glycerin B.P. i think the pharmacy counter completely appropriate.
as for quiting, these things can and do help people who wish to end nicoteen addiction. they also provide a hobby for the enthusiast. many of whom are members. the enthusiast is likely to appreciate and embrace their addiction.
steam from a kettle is not smoke. if my kettle smoked i reckon it Quit working. still holds water though.

Ian I'm not a hardened businessman and will do anything for anybody as you well know. This will just about do me in as a vendor as I really don't want the chew on so I will be discontinuing the BW from now on and just sticking with the few bits of e-cig paraphernalia until it's out of stock then will think long and hard what to do next, maybe to a big business this is probably nothing but to me its a disaster as I carry very limited stock of what I sell and am in no way big business minded to cope especially after putting so much in and make little if any return. The BW looked the part from the off but hasnt delivered for some which I'm deeply sorry about. I will deal with all the problems when I return Sorry for any inconvenience Mark its a shame these things didnt work out as there was always a great profit in them. hopefully the losses will be offset from the profits from other sales mark. there is a brighter side to this in that no serious injuries have yet occured as that realy would be a disaster.
