Clearly the health issues are emerging for this "safer" alternative to smoking. What further ailments are down the line?

It's no wonder all of the vape issues (apart from the batteries blowing up) are occurring in the USA.

EU regulations would never allow the products they're vaporising into their lungs on our shelf's.

Not to mention the fact most of them are modifying their vapes to allow them to vaporise substances that shouldn't be vaporised.

It's no wonder other issues are surfacing in the USA. - They have some wild regulations, ones i hope are never imposed on UK soil.. However, who knows after brexit (Nervous emoji)

Me too, although I did , gave them up over 20 yrs ago, I used to smoke about 30 a day and when they went up to £2 a packet I said That’s it!
Now they’re nearer £11 a packet! So I’d be spending in excess of £100 a week if I still smoked, ouch!!

"While vaping's been in the news for various health problems lately, it hasn't been tied directly to chemical pneumonia yet"

so it could be scientists speaking out for the public good or just more project-fear nannystating. Should we wait until there's some proof?

Another website with no contact details originating in the USA. Highly unlikely that vaping liquids available there would be allowed in the UK

It's fairly obvious that sucking anything but air into your lungs is not going to be good for you, but as long as it's less harmful than smoking, it's still a better option for people who can't or won't quit nicotine.

Anything to get Brexit in then Spath?

Although it may not suit your agenda the UK has always had quite stringent health regulations, well before any tin pot dictatorship called the EUSSR came along.
