At times I am glad I live in the UK

Hmmmmm

Sounds like politicians on both sides of the pond took the same ETHICS course! They are all cheats, liars, and thieves. I thought we were unique.

I wish I could defend my homeland, but the truth is we have lost our collective mind. buy hey, it was good for 230+ years. The good news is that I have enough e-cig supplies to last a year or more.

I think the UK will get it on a local level before we get it country wide, the local licensing authority here think they are god and have banned all vaping/e-cigs in pubs in this area, I will challenge the decision though and hopefully others will too.

Please could you get some more info as to who exactly banned them, under which law or bylaw and on what grounds? I feel some media shaming in the wind........

I thought I read something about having to get a license to buy tobacco products analogs etc. over there. Did that go through?

Well I can see karenscg's point, Glasgow made it illeagal to drink in parks and the streets, The scottish parliment made it illeagal to smoke in pubs, Glasgow then permited "Beer Gardens" in the street, Keith Ritchards was allowed to smoke indoors (in glasgow) now we have pubs that are "smoking reaserch centers".

I work for local government and so far I'm permitted to vape at my desk, I think this is mainly because no one complains.

Thankfully the polititions are too worried about covering their own ar*** to worry about e-cigs. Lets hear it for the freadom of information act.

PS. Thanks to the USA for comming up with the FOI in the first place

I have relatives in the UK and have thought of relocating myself but y'all talk so funny and don't even use words like y'all or howdy

Now now, I'm just teasing...

It's true - two nations divided by a common language and all that. Is it obligatory to say "y'all" and "howdy" if you live in Texas?

I'm still waiting for the licensing officer to get back to me but my local landlord showed me the minutes from the last pubwatch meeting, I had to laugh at the comment from the licensing officer
" Although e-cigs are not illegal they may incite a disturbance"

What sort of reasoning is that!! I want to be the first person to cause a riot with an e-cig

Spose I'm making a shallow response, but if they are from both sides of the pond I guess that makes them all Pond Life....

Wait until they realise how much tax they're missing out on by those switching to these new fangled digitlal doobries they'll soon think of an effective levy to raise against us.
