    Smoking is no longer deemed to be "cool". I read recently it is on the verge of "extinction" in the UK.

    I hate vaping, the last thing I want is someone's second hand Nicotine, plus the smells that so many of them choose are disgusting.

    There is a young lad at our office who is sneaking a few vapes in the loo, the smell is absolutely sickening, and while the loo does have a device that releases scent it sure as hell does not leave the atmosphere thick with a visible suspension.

    I don't mind people smoking as long as they respect me, don't blow smoke in my face, and don't smoke cheap "camelshit" cigs.

    Vaping seems so artificial and antisocial.

    Smoking eventually will cease. A couple of generation and fags will be a thing of the past..
    The problem that will arise for the goverments will be to find a steady stream of new taxes to replace the heavy duties placed on tobacco products...
    The nation can hardly afford to loose all that money without some other way to rob it from already overtaxed citizens.

    I must admit that I hate getting a wiff of smoke when the kids are with me. When i was a kid mum would be fagging it in a closed windowed car with us in the back. Different era of course and thankfully that we are all aware of the consequences nowadays.

    Might be like vinyl records vs CDs.

    People might realise that smoking a quality cigarette or decent cigar is a lot better than vaping the government sanctioned legal highs.

    Not a smoker myself btw.
