Ah. OK. I know bugger all about them, which is now blatantly obvious.
TBF, before covid I used to vape, but I have no fucking what a 'pod vape' is.

But making such things attractive to children with funky colours and sweet flavours also has to be part of the discussion.

Having a nice flavour has helped me shift from tobacco. I'd much rather have a nice hit of vanilla custard than a foul tasting rollie. When trying to switch to vaping you need all the encouragement you can get to not have a fag. Not tasting nice would be just another excuse
In March/April 2023 the proportion of children experimenting with vaping had grown by 50% year on year, from one in thirteen to one in nine. Children’s awareness of promotion of vapes has also grown, particularly in shops where more than half of all children report seeing e-cigarettes being promoted, and online where nearly a third report e-cigarette promotion.
My juice is practically tasteless. Occasionally get a hint of flavour with a brand new coil.Having a nice flavour has helped me shift from tobacco.

I've tried more expensive flavoured ones, but the taste interferes with the taste my beer.
I think the availability is the main thing. Disposables should be banned, and they should come down on hard dodgy shops. You'd still have the internet though, so I'm not sure that would be enough.It's a shame that the attractive taste is proving a hit with kids though.

Bar juice in a vaporesso xros is virtually identical to the disposable ones. Much too sweet for me but a very good alternative to disposables.I tend not to buy the disposable ones but those elf bars are bloody nice. I even bought their liquid for a refillable but it wasn’t the same.
Do you remember the uproar when Hooch first came out?Maybe we should ban sweet flavoured alcoholic drinks then?

They literally are.Vapes aren't marketing themselves to do that either. They aren't sold as stop smoking aid.
In recent years, e-cigarettes have become a very popular stop smoking aid in the UK.
Also known as vapes or e-cigs, they're far less harmful than cigarettes, and can help you quit smoking for good.
They are not recommended for non-smokers and cannot be sold to people under 18 years old.
They literally are.

Literally 5 secs Googling:An online reseller (and not disposables). Are Smok doing it? Elf bar? Vapperso? ELeaf? Voopoo? Innokin?
These things might be used as stop smoking aids, but it's not what they are sold as. It's why when you go to Asda they are next to tobacco and not next to the nicotine patches.
Let's ban disposables for the sake of the planet. Let's make enforce the laws we have to stop kids buying these. But this "Won't someone think of the children" thing is daft. I assuming that you must have had your share of experiences before you were 18?
ELF Bar can help smokers quit smoking in several ways. First, it provides a nicotine hit without the harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke. Vaping is a safer alternative to smoking because it does not produce tar, carbon monoxide, and other harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke.
ELF Bar can help smokers with some of the benefits of quitting
Smoking is a harmful habit that has claimed countless lives around the world. It is a leading cause of preventable death, causing several health issues such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. However, quitting smoking is not easy. Nicotine addiction is a powerful force...liquidecigaretteelectronique.com
Elf Bars are great for ex-smokers, or those looking to make the transition. The throat hit and MTL design mimic cigarettes. Elf Bar 600 vapes have three nicotine strengths: 20mg, 10mg and 0mg. Most smokers find comfort in the 20mg nicotine strength since you get about the same nicotine dosage as you do out of a cigarette.

I'm done now.
But that's just down to marketing and getting around advertising bans.You posted another resellers link.
Vaping no doubt will come with harm, but it's no doubt better then smoking. The NHS agrees. One reason many people switch is it's enjoyable. You appear to want ban something that has proved possibly the most effective alternative to date.
Here is their website if it helps?

Bottles seem to have a stupid design tho, no tapered end so there's always some left which seems daft, I end up lining them up upside down to get the last bits out which seems unnecessary.Why do you need to? Pod vapes have existed for years and can be filled fine with a normal 10ml eliquid bottle.
Yeh did think it sounded a lot like the alcopops thing with flavours. Have same laws for nicotine regardless of source, challenge 25 like booze. Penalties for selling to minors, same advertising bans.Too much negativity about vaping on here.... Its not just about quiting smoking tobacco...If people want to vape thats great, same as with any other drug - go for it - enjoy yourself. Parallel with alcohol: Ban pubs and off licences and lets have prescription only alcohol for those trying to quit drinking and add stale marmite flavouring to beer to stop people enjoying the taste.
People have mentioned advertising a lot and I've never actually seen any plus it seems to be banned? Sure there must be some I'm just not seeing so where is it all? Or is it shops? Make that the same as cigs too, covered and not viewable without asking.
Ah that'll be it, guessing we aren't zoned for the flyers and mailers for some reason, all that stuff goes straight in the bin or recycling anyway, loads of domino's and supermarket ones here mainly, cinema we have pre booked seats so turn up to miss the adverts anyway on the few times a year we go. Don't use the bus and towns mainly useful for the pharmacy. Certainly a lot of vape places about but I get mine online so ignore them.The advertising ban covers TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and most online media including social media.
But, for some reason, vape ads are permitted on outdoor posters, shop windows, buses, flyers, direct mail and on cinema screens.

Should be a blanket ban tho like other tobacco products.
There's also plenty of vape shops in the High Street and places openly selling vapes.The advertising ban covers TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and most online media including social media.
