Vaping

Vapes are so dumb people walking around sucking on them every few seconds obviously seriously addicted. Wait for the next few years oh we didnt know how much damage they would do to us etc etc.

Here we go. Vapes have been around 20 odd years and are a great help at people giving up smoking. Some countries health services recommend them but the usual people who know feck all about them whinge. Hey, here's an idea. Let them all start smoking again and see how that annoys people and clogs up the hospitals.

They may have been around for 20 years no idea but they have exploded in the last couple of years. Tons of young people are using them now that never smoked in the first place. It seems like the marketing of these companies has really worked. The worst is people in public trying to hide it we are not blind we know you are an addict that every seconds has to suck on your vape. I have no doubht they are very addictive btw.

Here's an idea, maybe people like me who gave up smoking by using them 10 years ago but still do for the enjoyment of it actually are not addicted to SFA. I make ALL my own non nicotine flavoured liquid and coils myself using pharmaceutical grade items sourced in Ireland and enjoy a vape. You are the expert though so I will leave you have your say.

Presume people who vape enjoy it never would question that.

Ah, a person with an opinion!

How about letting other people do whatever dafuq they like to do.

I hope that your 8th post has something more positive to contribute.

They can do what they like I dont have the power to stop them they are safe. I blame the government in the first place for allowing it sure they were only after the tax they could get from them

Problem is it's the people with their judgemental attitude and we know best usually are the people who do have the power to fcuk up normal people who don't judge anyone by bringing in the laws that the anti fun police brigade advocate.

You should start a movement. Eventually we will need a licence to breath.... If that's OK?

I am not that motivated just a observation that is all I have commented in shops that they should not be on display thats as far as I could be bothered to go on it.

I'm sick of seeing them littered all over the ground. Whatever metals are in those things are very toxic to waterways.

I'm sick of kicking people of the public transport for these things. They say "I wasn't smoking, it's a vape man".

A big problem is kids starting off vaping

and switching to cigarettes

Its the governments fault they are half asleep as usual.

I vape. Gave up smoking the day I got my first vape and never went back. I wish I didn't vape and yes I'm probably addicted but I haven't had a cough or a bad chest since the day I stopped smoking so I actually don't see the massive need. I had a full health check a few times always said I don't smoke and nobody ever noticed I vape. Lungs much better.

As for kids, they will always do dumb stuff like starting smoking and vaping and drinking and I'd rather see them vaping than smoking.

You see very few smokers these days to be honest.

Can't see that being a problem to be honest. Don't think it's a 2 way thing.

Way more expensive, smelly, much more unhealthy, socially unacceptable. Vape on kids if you need to do one or the other.

If there were no vapes they probaly would not have taken up smoking vapes should have been banned from day 1. Lots of people gave up smoking without the need for vapes. Once smoking dies out we will hear now we have a huge problem with vapes so dumb.

kirk.

That's it we were asleep at the wheel

A whole new generation addicted to nicotine because of vapes

And they don't care how they get it , they'll switch to cigarettes if they dont have a vape handy or can't get it

Deebles McBeebles

Agree with OP in that the marketing has made it so most kids in the country now vape. *Parents disbelief rage intensifies*

Disposable ones all over the ground, they need to be banned. Get a real vape, commit, pussy. Otherwise, if an adult wants to smell like the back of a paedophile's van, that's entirely their perogative.

Honey50000

How is it somehow more socially acceptable than any other drug really dont get it is it because so many people do it so lets all justify its fine. Reminds me of the crack pipes you see people sucking on in film.

Another expert I see.

My take on it is this:

If you have already been smoking and have not been able to give up, it is probably a lot more preferable to vape in continuance of getting your nicotine fix.

If you have never smoked, then it is just silly to take up calling as there is evidence to say it may cause serious health problems in certain cases.:

Personally, it doesn’t bother me at all if somebody vapes in my presence.

Very little evidence to verify their claims of the "harm" it does if any. I doubt the NHS would be advocating them if that was the case. Also not all people who vape use nicotine in their liquids. I just make my own flavours and know exactly what goes into them. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/quit-smoking/using-e-cigarettes-to-stop-smoking/

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121004262#Comment_121004262

As I said, it doesn’t bother me about anyone baling near me, I’ve never stopped or tut tutted anyone vaping in my room, in my car etc, but for anybody to affirm that substances going into the lung, especially from a concentrated e-cigarette, can never do harm is a bit premature in the context of the rather recent history of vaping. Again, likely a lot better than continuing smoking, but rather immature for anyone to contemplate taking it up as a new pastime. That’s why people in public health roles have have particular concern for young people taking it up anew.

A lot of "could, might, linked to" in all of that. 68 deaths out of the population of America who vape is nothing compared to smokers dropping daily. No point going back and forth I will agree to disagree with those articles.

It doesnt take an expert to work out that inhale and exhaling smoke is not going to be good for you. People can make the argument it is better than smoking. The other side is all the people that take up vaping that would never have smoked. Then again that is their loss I suppose some people seem mortified using them trying to hide them others dont care a lot of people on here are also very sensitive about them also. A least with smoking people smoke it for five minutes and they are done. With these vapes they seem to suck on them every few minutes the addiction must be crazy.
