Bit of a long winded thread but basically some suppliers have been told by royal mail that they are no longer allowed to post batteries and juice because ones a fire risk and the others a poison.
The doom-mongers are already suggesting this is down to the government and pharmaceuticals involvement #-o #-o

Well back in the land of the living,
I went out on a bender yesterday with my brother around Plymouth, in the second last place we went in a member of staff came up and said I could not use my ecig in there, I told him to do one, as they were not illegal, he said He would call the police, I said please do then I will get you lifted for wasting police time, the pub is just round the corner from where Chris the fish ranks on Royal parade, result after telling the twonk to do one, sat there for an hour drinking and vaping away


They could have chucked you out if they wanted to. Maybe he didn't want to be accused of homophobia. :wink:

Boarded an Emirates flight at Birmingham on Tuesday 2nd July. On the ground, the guy in the next seat asked if he could use his dummy. He was told he could if he got off the flight. He didn't argue, he didn't get off and he didn't use his e-cig.

If you take a look around the net, you might not want to be ingesting the banned weedkiller called nicotine.

Just man up, and give up.

Then maybe you'll be able to fly business class to Australia and back like I did.

But we eat foods that are packed full of cancer causing preservatives to stop the food going off. I know what I'd sooner ingest.

Couldn't be bothered to work it out, like I give a whatever what you think. If you do think, which would appear to be unlikely.

I'll remember that next time the old dear down the street sends me to the Health center for another packet of hearing aid Batteries or her Inhaler prescription.from the Chemists..I wouldn't like to create a small nuclear style explosion on the way back.
