They should still be available, not clear how easily, but with regulation, safety checks etc the cost is bound to go up even if the firms don't go bust.
They just can't leave us alone, can they?
Still, if they're medicines those who qualify should be able to get them free on prescription, shouldn't they?

Although I would have thought anyone who can't handle tree pollen, gas central heating or air fresheners would have problems with Golden Virginia. Better to be smoking a laxative/antifreeze, I would have thought.

Yes at last, you remember a tale something like, a monkey on your back and the only way to remove it is to fool someone to volunteer carrying it for you?

Precisely, susie. All we smokers know what damage we are doing to ourselves so there's no point in complaining.

Back to thread- I'm trying an e cig( a good one as cashman recommended) and it does help but I haven't got anywhere near a full switch over yet.

Perhaps bringing a load of cheap cigarettes and tobacco back from Ibiza in May wasn't a good idea!

Would you throw rolls of fivers in the bin- goes against my careful nature.
Anyway, after 50 years I reckon it's too late to worry about the harm my little stash might do me. It'll soon be gone. Then I can concentrate on the e cig.
Trouble is, we'll be off on holiday again by then!

Deny it as he might, he's still an addict to the weed, just like a heroin addict, none of us are ever cured no matter how long since the last fix.

so with the only speciific drug in them been nicotine are they now saying nicotine is a medicine and if so what does it cure.

a lot of people mix tehir own liquid some with no nicotine in at all so the only ingredients would be vegetable glycirine and proplene glycol which are both food additives and can be found in the food section at asda for example

So when someone reads "All that lovely, addictive, foul smelling dried weed!" eyebrows may be raised & someone'll be knocking on your door to ask a few questions Gordon. :)
