"we've heard from the vaping industry association, you've probably seen their comments already, they say it's a step too far, they say that every vape shop will go out of business, they say this is a disaster waiting to happen, that's a pretty quick response if you're asking them for what they think about what you're planning to do. Well the point of a consultation is to hear everyone's views and that's why we're having this 12-week consultation. Well I've just told you what they've said so what would you make of that, do you think they're wrong? Well we will listen to everyone's views but I think what we're doing is right and I think it's the right thing to be doing and just to be clear you know people will still be able to buy vapes in the same shops that they buy them today so if you're an adult who wants to buy vape and you're thinking about switching from cigarettes to vaping you'll still be able to go into the same shop and ask the shopkeeper to sell you that product. What we're changing is the way it's advertised, the way it's promoted, making it much more like cigarettes where they're in plain packaging they're behind the counter and it's dealt with in a more similar way to cigarettes are at the moment."

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">Just FYI... Ireland doubled the prices of vapes overnight with taxation and it has had zero effect on the proliferation of vape shops (3 new ones in my tiny town of 15k people in the few months since.)
Vape shops are not primarily for selling vapes.</p>

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">Thing is, people now think that vaping is more dangerous than smoking. People are actually taking up smoking to kick the vape habit!!!!! Without vaping I'd still be smoking 100g a week of rollups. Vaping is so much less dangerous than smoking. The gov is only pissed that its harder to tax.</p>

Its not like there are loads on the highstreet still, where I live they no longer exist - now its all fucking barbers shops on every street corner.</p>

Wouldn&amp;amp;#39;t mind but there is no way in hell they are making any money as none of them ever have people inside getting their hair cut. The staff are usually sitting on stools outside smoking. They all use the same set of window stickers as well. They look just as tacky as the dodgy vape shops.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
