Maybe so, but they are terrible for you and there shouldn’t be incentive to do it. Vapes are very cheap, this is partly why they’re so popular with children. Maybe it they were a bit pricier then people would think twice. Can also put tax towards public health service.
Not bothered about what people do in their own homes, moreso what they do in public. Vape isn’t a pleasant smell and we don’t know the impacts of second hand vapour
A good move in my opinion. Not sure how enforced it will be but phasing out cigarettes full stop is a good idea.
Now we should be clamping down on vapes. Tax them more, ban advertising, hide them from sale and put them in the same blank packaging as cigs.
In my opinion, they should ban the sweet flavours and only allow menthol, tobacco or mint flavours but not sure how that would fly.
To be fair, they’re maybe too established now but they’re quite a good example of modern British music these days. Beyond the Dua Lipas and Charlie XCXs of the UK, we’ve got a lot of great rock bands.
I mean, I think that’s a stretch. We know that vaping gives you popcorn lung and likely lung cancer also the same as cigarettes.
Alcohol in moderation has no long lasting effects. If you drink in excess it’s not great for your liver sure, but it’s still not as bad as smoking/vaping.
For the record, I’m pro legalising cannabis, and if people want to smoke and drink up a storm in their own home on a Friday night, go for it!
However, in the interest of public health, a tax on vapes wouldn’t be a bad idea. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be as restricted as cigarettes are. If they’re expensive then it doesn’t stop those who really want to partake from using them, but it limits children’s access.
Also, alcohol IS taxed already.
