Sweden to ban tobacco

Post by mistermack » Sat May 19, 2018 10:19 am

I was just musing about tobacco. Now that you can vape, it's less drastic to ban tobacco.
Addicts can still vape to feed their addiction to nicotine.

It's only a matter of time before countries around the world will start banning it.
I'm guessing that Sweden will be the first.
I don't think it will be very long either.

Sell tobacco shares. Buy Vape. You can't go wrong.

Another good tip would be to stock up on fags. They will be worth gold on the black market.

I actually think that an awful lot of smokers would welcome it.

Plenty wouldn't of course, but they can still vape to dim the pain.

I would actually admire Sweden, if they had the balls to ban it.

They did manage to switch to driving on the right without much of a hitch. They could easily manage this.

There's already talk of banning vapes. Apparently they aren't good for you.

Well, now there's talk of banning cigarettes.

Apparently, they aren't good for you either.. :biggrin:

The only reasonable case for banning vapes and not cigarettes would be if vapes were worse for you than cigarettes. There seems to be a lot of competing "facts" around vapes. I don't smoke either cigarettes or vapes, so I haven't bothered checking the evidence out.

Sweden is not about to ban tobacco. It is pushing ahead with a ban on smoking tobacco in public places like outdoor restaurants, train platforms, playgrounds, which is not the same as banning tobacco, is it?

Considering that only 10% of Swedes smoke tobacco, that's no big deal anyway, especially as they are still free to smoke in non-public places.

I haven't smoked tobacco since I started vaping, and where I started vaping mixtures with 24mg of nicotine in 10ml of liquid I was down to 3mg per 10ml within a year. I sometimes make my own liquids and have had quite passable results with a 2mg/10ml mix. My vape tank holds 3ml and I fill it up about twice a day. Cigarettes have between 10-20mg of nicotine per fag, so my nicotine adfiction is very low level and I have no trouble going without. I vape mostly out of habit now, and because it tastes nice - which you could never say about the fags.

But of course the problem with smoking isn't nicotine it's all that burning plant matter and stuff.

I'm still good with the vape. Been 8 years now since I had a fag and I don't miss them. I do allow myself the occasional cigar, though.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Yeah, but like Clinton and weed, you don't inhale do you?

Nope, never, wouldn't even consider it. It's bad for you and it's socially irresponsible and all that stuff.


Hell, who am I kidding? I inhale the motherfuck out of it. It's like fucking Nirvana when the smoke hits my parched lung tissue.

I don't understand this about cigars. I love cigars, and inhale the bloody lot. I can't imagine smoking one and not inhaling.
Haven't had one for about five years though.
