    Yeah, good luck with that. Nobody is regulating any of it so the rules might as well be advisory only.

    Seemingly every dodgy corner shop sells high strength disposable vapes already, so I don’t know why they’d stop because of this…

      In the same fashion that cigarettes are no longer on display in stores this will absolutely have an effect. The supply chain will eventually evaporate so once stores are out of stock it’ll no longer be common place. Sure, they could be imported but stores that don’t comply won’t be common and will stick out easily.

        I don’t think cigarettes being out of view lead to their decrease, nor all the warnings or pictures of diseases. It’s more that they cost about £15 a pack. Honestly feels like weed has already overtaken cigarettes.

        I know they mean well, and disposables are spectacularly wasteful, but I can also see the appeal of a cheap, no maintenance, no mess, no faff vape.

        And from a purely selfish point of view, I’d rather smell Fruit Salad smelling vapes everywhere than cigarettes or more bloody weed.
