Alright, I saw some of you in this thread or older threads putting shisha and vaping together as a comparison to cigarettes due to the product being taxable or not.
Actually shisha is already taxed, I own a shisha pot, and there was a shop around arab street near nabins that sell the tobacco, it is very expensive furthermore they require license from hisham as well (be it the cafes or the shisha tobacco shop). That is why when shisha was available most of us still cross the bridge to use shisha because one session is like at least 25-30 bucks here but across the bridge is more than half the price. haha
Well anyway I'm just putting it out there, I generally have no comments about the politics here and definitely not defending the govt but I would like to list down the facts, generally contented with what I have and as long as the few of us can continue to get the stuff with our own unique way. Cheers.

^ yup, couldn't agree more. When the implementation of banning shisha came about, many argued that the reason was they can't get tax money out of it.
But it is already taxed. Why do you think it is so expensive here?
Here comes the debate on the legalisation on vaping. If vaping can be allowed if it is regulated and taxed, would you guys mind? How does $40 for a 30ml bottle sound? Personally I won't mind if it allows me to vape openly.
To the op...I've no experience getting called up as such. I can only advice you be cooperative and hope they see that you don't want to create trouble and just let you off with a warning. Good luck bro.

Actually I kinda not want it to be legal, because I'm planning to quit vaping soon as well as ultimately the invention of ecig is to provide a healthier alternative, and for many eventually to stop smoking/vaping. Because well after all it's health that is important. Anyway my point is once it is legal, everyone will use it so openly and like that temptation will be there hence finding it harder to quit.. But well of course this is just my selfish opinion. Heh
C1sco being employed to keep a lookout for vapers is a known fact, but getting summoned to leave statement for cases which happened one year ago is unheard of. You sure you are not being called up for something more recent?
If it is true, then I feel that they are either investigating on something (probably trying to hunt down sources) or keeping a record/statements of local vapers for future references.
If you mean making the time and effort to go down, it is ok. But if you mean giving up whatever super secret info they're trying to dig out, then it is not ok. That's a reason why sometimes people are reluctant to share info with unfamiliar members.

Yes that's true, older members don't want share info. I had an experience of a underage trying to get my stuff. Was lucky that I discovered and stop the transaction immediately.
My pm has been flooded with where, how and etc ...... Till date I am leaving my flooded inbox as it is as I have been sick of receiving such mail. So don't pm asking info. Most info is here or Google it that's the best
