    Is it Pogle you're drinking with?

    The more we can do to discourage smoking and mock smoking the better, although I do support any help we can give to assist smoking addicts to give up their habit, although not at the cost of undermining the war on tobacco.
    How about you fook off and stop telling people how to live their lives??hmmm???

    You going to live forever are you? hmmmm

    Or maybe you will just spend the next 40 years of your life wishing you were dead because you have lived your life be following everyone else rules.

    Should be banned on the basis of being a bit ish. If you want to smoke, do it properly. Or don't.

    We really need a thumbs down button on CUK. But in the meantime this will have to do ..

    STFU!



    P.S. What I mean is why in the World should anyone need to discourage mock smoking? What business is it of theirs? You may as well want to discourage coffee drinking!

    Which is the dichotomy e-cigs have provided. They're very effective at helping people quit smoking, far more than patches and gums. Harmless food grade propylene glycol, found in food and asthma inhalers. Nicotine is a stimulant like caffeine, don't see the problem and certainly no second hand effects with e-cigs. Too many people have been caught up in the hype.

    It would be a shame they were banned. I've seen many of my friends that have struggled to give up, do so with e-cigs, including GF#1.

    I don't think mocking is particularly helpful, although the pharma industry would be very happy if e-cigs were regulated out of the industry.

    Ministers say they are responding to concern that the devices - which can contain nicotine - normalise smoking and undermine the smoking ban.
    What next, banning nicotine patches?

    I don't smoke, but now I think its time to give these ministers a painful wedgie.

    So all of the nicotine is absorbed by the mindless twat sucking on the teet?

    No nicotine is exhaled?
