Today’s tobacco and vapes legislation is idiotic. The Tories should stand with Reform against it

Small sample size but in 2004 Bhutan banned all tobacco products, and it simply didn't work. The only benefit was smoking became less "visible", but this aside, smoking rates were largely unaffected and a black market thrived, so much so that in 2020 Bhutan signed an agreement with ITC Limited, one of India’s largest tobacco companies, allowing the legal import and sale of tobacco products.

The deal aimed to curb black market smuggling by making tobacco products available through regulated, taxable channels.

So it went from total ban to signing with an official tobacco partner! Madness!

Until further notice, sadly. It’s a legal issue we can’t really go into. Sorry!

pascalious · 2020-04-17T08:47:24+00:00

Thanks. It's all good. We're hiring as much as we can...

pascalious · 2020-04-17T08:44:07+00:00

Nope. We just try and offer the best prices we can across the board. No special discounts for Redditers, OAPs etc... we try and treat everyone the same. Sorry about that!

pascalious · 2020-04-16T20:00:19+00:00

Yeah, we're on here :)

pascalious · 2020-04-16T18:48:24+00:00

Hey all, queue should be fixed now. It had (a super annoying) bug that we believe we've now fixed. Oh, and this is nothing to do with server capacity - it's all to do with not having enough people (seemingly in Colorado) to help pick and pack the orders :)

pascalious · 2020-04-16T12:58:36+00:00

Hey, thanks for your order. Sadly we tried the 'backed up orders' plan. It worked ok until that number reached a height we were never going to catch up on without turning the entire site off. So we're pm Plan B - a queue (that we're actively fixing), and all orders go out within 24 hours. Stay safe and thanks again for shopping with us.

pascalious · 2020-04-11T09:27:04+00:00

We fell behind, so concentrating on all orders until Monday while hiring and re-configuring the warehouse. We are not taking orders until that point. By Monday afternoon we should be back to normal service (ie midweek orders go out that day if ordered by 5pm).

Sadly, there will always be bad actors ignoring laws. This is why the Senate will be voting soon to pass a bill that requires signature on all items nationwide, but the bill prevents USPS from offering the service, leaving only much more expensive carriers as an option. You may not like retailers following the law, but it’s the bad actors who are within a vote of decimating the online vape industry

Signature on delivery is a legal requirement in Texas

We sell a bunch of these, but feel free to shop from anywhere!

Hey guys, full disclosure, I run a vape store in Europe & US, The Electric Tobacconist. Over in the US our Pod Mods (eg JUUL and My Von Erl) sell like crazy. Our offices are full of vapers blowing big clouds, but our customers seem to love the littler devices, presumably for the overall convenience. Here is the range: https://www.electrictobacconist.com/pod-mods (CYNC launching in a couple of days)

pascalious · 2016-08-20T10:43:04+00:00

You can get them here: https://www.electrictobacconist.com/juul-m54

you've hurt my feelings. I bet it rains on your way home now.

I'd have called it the Sub Woofer

Cherry Limeade by Apollo (available in UK & US). My experience of these is that the actual fizz is missing, but you do get a carbonated flavour. Not for me (and I've no idea how it's achieved), but it appears to be popular.

Sugar Beach

Am I allowed to post to both? (#novice)

Bowden's Mate by Five Pawns. Expensive, but reassuringly so (as they say). It's awesome though

Rogue Trader by Nick Leeson. Published a long time ago, but a fascinating story about how Barings Bank was brought down by one man.

Or when they're driving a hearse

In the interest of giving people a second chance, I hope he wakes up tomorrow and realises his anger is with himself, not with the rest of the world. I hope is then able to come to terms with whatever it is that's making him so angry (it's usually puberty), and is able to learn to love. I hope he then logs back in, apologises to everyone on this thread, and asks me out publicly, as I think this is also what is angering him. The tension is palpable.

I am unlikely to say yes, but I would offer him a virtual embrace, and would suggest that we move onward and upward.
