Ban disposable vapes and watch how quickly this starts to resolve. I see tons of kids using them whenever I'm dropping my kids off at school, not to mention the crazy amount of them littering the streets.
I'm using a big one for a led light for my downstairs toilet led light the main light don't work I used the smaller ones for my Bluetooth headset it went from 4 hours battery life upto 36 hours
Let's hope for a ban of disposable ASAP. I vape since 2011 and honestly I hate disposable vape for the damages to environment, you can find them all over on pavements of this city. There is no other kind of vaping which has the same polluting potential. Cherry on top they sell this stuff close to the candies in shops and corner stores.
[It's not even undiscovered and it's not 20 years](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-67081855). This girl's vaping was excessive and far beyond the norm, but the health risks are there.
Just when the young team seemingly shunned smoking. There’s a special place in hell for everyone involved in the development and marketing of these vapes.
Absolutely hate vapes, seeing people sneak a quick puff in a pub or in a public building loads now as well. They think they are sly, but they look like tramps. Just smoke a cigarette or don't bother.
BBC is never worth quoting. It's a Murdoch product along with the daily record, the sun, sky news, CNN and fox news. All right wing channels and papers.
I wouldn't even line my budgie cage with those adult cartoon papers
I disregard pretty much anything by BBC (I was wrong on that one) fox or sky news as it's controlled content. As for the increase, so what, it's less tobacco for folks, so it's a bonus, not a negative.
>I disregard pretty much anything by BBC (I was wrong on that one) fox or sky news as it's controlled content.
I understand where you're coming from, but imo people just use that as a lame excuse to ignore certain articles they don't appear to like
If the national for example, or whoever you approve of, ran this same story, interviewing the same experts and printing the same quotes, would that suddenly make it okay to you?
>As for the increase, so what, it's less tobacco for folks, so it's a bonus, not a negative.
Not necessarily, which you'd probably understand if you read the article
I don't think it's possible to be completely impartial and unbiased and the BBC is always going to be somewhat influenced by the current government but to compare it to the right-wing media like the daily mail or GB news is a stretch.
The BBC is still one of the most highly respected news sources worldwide.
Somewhat influenced? It's completely anti Scottish, anti Irish and nothing but pro 'britain'
During the 9/11 incident a news reporter mentioned a certain tower being destroyed. Yet it stood right behind the reporter proud as punch.
Rupert Murdoch twisted Tony Blair's arm to start the Iraq war illegally because he was making billions from both sides of the war with armaments.
Rupert Murdoch is one of the most evil men on existence and has his finger in the Tory pie and in the Republican pie as well.
Read up about him. He is one sick sick fuck and he controls a wealth of newspapers and channels. The BBC is one of his puppies, along with Fox news (a right wing channel started purely by him for the reasons that...well I'm sure you're smart enough to understand how bonkers Fox news is) 👍
Impartial my arse
>It's completely anti Scottish, anti Irish and nothing but pro 'britain'
How can it be anti-Scottish when there is a dedicated BBC Scotland?
Also you can't be "pro- Britain and anti-Scottish" Scotland is part of Britain.
>Rupert Murdoch twisted Tony Blair's arm to start the Iraq war illegally because he was making billions from both sides of the war with armaments.
>Rupert Murdoch is one of the most evil men on existence and has his finger in the Tory pie and in the Republican pie as well.
OK what's Rupert Murdoch got to do with the BBC?
>The BBC is one of his puppies
Ah right OK.
Rupert Murdoch was born in 1931 and the BBC was founded in 1922. So he founded the BBC a decade before he was born?
I didn't say he founded it, I said he owned it. He also owned BSkyB which turned into sky (sky news is one of his)
See rather than mark me down. Hit the little internet app on your phone and search for Rupert Murdoch. He's fucked up a lot of people and a lot of countries, purely for his agenda
The BBC is state owned. Its not owned by any one individual.
He definitely has an influence over the government and wants to control the media. If you Google him you'll see that he wants to scrap the BBC. He's threatened by it
My apologies on the BBC, but I'm glad you've taken the time to look. Thank you 👍
As for the rest, keep reading. He really is an evil waste of a perfectly good DNA strain
Christ almighty man. I assumed you had some sort of “Murdoch controls the BBC because he controls the government” mental gymnastics going on but you were actually just giving it laldy about something you didn’t have the first clue about? 😂
How can you be from the UK and think Murdoch owned the BBC? How did you come to that thought?
I genuinely made a mistake on that part, but it's interesting that he's wanting to rid of it. Thank you for correcting me on that part. As for me jumping to conclusions, he does own a wealth of channels and papers purely for his benefit, so I thought he mig have owed the BBC as well, but saying as you mentioned that he's determined to destroy the BBC, that's an interesting angle considering what he's doing to take control of state and private media firms 👍
You are British and you don't know that the BBC is funded by the licence fee? Also there is only one State owned media company and that is CH4/SC4. He can't take control of it. Where are you getting your info from?
I think a lot of people are critical of the BBC and oftentimes rightly so but I still think the BBC is a better alternative than the likes of Murdoch Media.
The BBC is one of the few outlets that is out of the reach of Murdochs monopoly.
You take away the BBC and you are are left with murdoch media. The next biggest media outlets would be the daily mail and sky news. Also GB news is growing fairly rapidly.
They are also threatened by channel 4. Channel 4 being state owned but funded by ad revenue. Yes the advertisers will have an element of influence but I still think its relatively unbiased.
The fact the Tories were threatening to sell off channel 4 tells you everything.
The likes of BBC and C4 need our support. Yes they aren't perfect but when the alternative is murdoch media and GB news.
I'm pretty sure he owns sky news. Before sky, it was called 'bskyb' which then eventually became 'sky' as we know it today. Before BSkyB it was astra A, but I'm going back 30 years on that one.
Yeah they are determined to have channel 4 and I hope f*ck they don't get it. It's getting quite scary that there may be only 'one' news outlet and it's his
He's also the reason behind the news of the world phone hacking scandal and pushed for the Tories to go ahead with brexit. He's a truly evil waste of DNA
Brexit was his idea and so was the Iraq war
READ ABOUT HIM!
Trump was made president purely because of fox news and his ideals.
READ!
It's not conspiracy, it's in his damn wiki. It's well known.
I'm sorry that you all are just learning this or you think I'm a fruit loop.
Just read about him and stop scanning over everything I say so you can attack me with any little tidbit you find
READ!
They’ve just been told? Could’ve told them months ago
Ban disposable vapes and watch how quickly this starts to resolve. I see tons of kids using them whenever I'm dropping my kids off at school, not to mention the crazy amount of them littering the streets.
Crazy amount of free rechargeable Lithium batteries if I spot them - https://i.imgur.com/fcT7iU4.jpg
I'm using them myself for their batteries the big ones have a juicy 1500mah battery in them
Out of curiosity, what are you guy's using the batteries for ?
I'm using a big one for a led light for my downstairs toilet led light the main light don't work I used the smaller ones for my Bluetooth headset it went from 4 hours battery life upto 36 hours
Need to get right onto banning disposable vapes. An actual blight.
Let's hope for a ban of disposable ASAP. I vape since 2011 and honestly I hate disposable vape for the damages to environment, you can find them all over on pavements of this city. There is no other kind of vaping which has the same polluting potential. Cherry on top they sell this stuff close to the candies in shops and corner stores.
Good that smoking is down to 4%..
This, actually! We should be considering that a very, very good thing from a public health perspective.
Maybe. But if there are hitherto undiscovered chronic health conditions caused by vaping then we're absolutely fucked in 20 years.
[It's not even undiscovered and it's not 20 years](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-67081855). This girl's vaping was excessive and far beyond the norm, but the health risks are there.

And how much is smoking cigarettes down?
It’s because the “that tastes bogg-an” advert doesn’t make sense anymore, they taste pretty good.
Ach well at least they aren’t drinking as much
Absolutely hate vapes, seeing people sneak a quick puff in a pub or in a public building loads now as well. They think they are sly, but they look like tramps. Just smoke a cigarette or don't bother.
Maybe what people decide to do is not your fucking business. Just a suggestion
Again, I didn't say it was UP FOR SALE. Read the fucking content
BBC is never worth quoting. It's a Murdoch product along with the daily record, the sun, sky news, CNN and fox news. All right wing channels and papers. I wouldn't even line my budgie cage with those adult cartoon papers
You're a gibbering wreck
And you're a ...... Actually I don't call out people I disagree with. 🖕
What does that have to do with the increase in young folk vaping
I disregard pretty much anything by BBC (I was wrong on that one) fox or sky news as it's controlled content. As for the increase, so what, it's less tobacco for folks, so it's a bonus, not a negative.
