Tax vapes and vaping liquids.
Easy job done.
A tax on the stupid.
Anyone see any problem with my plan?
Sounds good to me, a vaping near neighbour has encouraged his 16 year old son to start vaping, if there is a such a thing as chain vaping then that would be a good description.Easy job done.

Perhaps we can also sell the rubber inflatables and outboard motors, obviously not to the French.

I hear that the long term effects are unknown. They have been around for what 20 years or so now, how long does it take to study the effects, other things get introduced and they don't need 100 years before the effects are known. And haven't people been vaping for hundreds of years.
Secondly not all vapes contain tobacco, just food flavourings, so how is it the two are seen as just as bad?
Wonder if the war on vaping is just political correctness

Apparently there is enough lithium thrown away in disposable Vapes to make 5000 high capacity EV Car batteries per year.
They all contain a rechargeable lipo battery in case you weren't aware. It's bonkers how this is allowed.
Tbh, non replaceable batteries and disposable devices containing batteries should be banned.They all contain a rechargeable lipo battery in case you weren't aware. It's bonkers how this is allowed.
Willing to be shown otherwise, but I cannot think of a rationale for either to ever be appropriate.

When my Mrs was trying to get pregnant the last time, she used a mixture of the reagent paper type pregnancy tests and the electronic ones. The electronic ones struck me as one of the maddest and least sustainable type of contraptions ever produced. A sensor, LCD display, presumably some sort of basic processor and a battery, all for a device with an expected lifespan of about 2 minutes from its first power up.Willing to be shown otherwise, but I cannot think of a rationale for either to ever be appropriate.

Yes your right nicotine.Point out nicotine does not cause cancer.

Always makes me laugh when people worry themselves about trace levels of pesticides in foods, and equally tiny amounts of chemicals from plastic bottles etc. whilst at the same time deliberately inhaling comparatively vast amounts of organic solvents.

Better than that, if you pull one of them apart, the basic paper one is underneath and all the electronics are doing is detecting the line that you could see for yourself if the electronics weren't in the way.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
