Some Rules Are Too Rigid

I have been using e-cigarettes for about three weeks and I am quite happy with 'vaping', (and the massive reduction in my cigarette use

) and have decided that it is now a permanent thing. I have just ordered an item via eBay and because it is tobacco/nicotine related, had to go through the 'age verified' procedure. It is not that difficult, I just had to log onto a website, gave my details and my credit card details and within seconds, I was 'verified', (not the worst I have been called

). What did I buy that necessitated my age being verified? A case to hold my e-cig!!

From what I gleaned from the vaping experiences of a certain two ladies in a recent Viz magazine, I'd be wary of giving any source my credit card number!

NO! I don't want one!

It's often just retailers being OTT. For instance, although children cannot buy knives or alcohol, most retailers won't sell them scissors or "alcohol free" beer, despite it being completely legal - some won't even sell spoons.

Okay, I have to ask, purely for research purposes, which issue of 'Viz' are you lot talking about?

Can't help with that, but I do like the advert for the Government Covid-19 Briefing DVD Box Set in the latest one

Advise based on scientific evidence.

Link to a reliable source of evidence please, showing a difference in susceptibility between smokers and vapers...

I think my mate Rob has a bad case of the vapers

(Not an attack of the vapers - that's a female affliction only it seems)

Just read it George - quite amusing, but I think I will stick to vaping - at least until @Arrachogaidh can show me the scientific evidence. Having said that, I still prefer the bit of a cough I have now to the one I had a month ago - it sounds healthier now!
