Having switched to vaporising about 3 years ago, I tend to view it
like this: The market has come up with a better way of getting a
nicotine fix, using technology, to replace the ancient but incredibly
dangerous and dirty burning a leaf approach
Right now there’s a huge cottage industry of ex-smokers trying to
improve this technology, experimenting, exploring, trying to make the
tech work in a way that means they never need to go back to tobacco. It
feels like it’s ours, that we’re solving the problem ourselves.
I think about all the money and effort that’s been wasted trying to
get smokers to stop through nagging, terrorising, financial penalties
and social ostracism, and I’ve pretty convinced that politicians have
nothing useful to add here.
I’d be very grateful if politicians could sit on their hands and not
kill this industry with regulation. Would be nice if Lib Dems agreed.
