YOUNG people have turned away from disposable vapes to sober, heavyweight vapes that will last a lifetime, just as the government intended.
An upcoming ban on disposable vapes has forced a generation to recognise their nicotine addiction is not something to be easily discarded but will be with them for decades to come.
21-year-old Hannah Tomlinson said: “I owe the government thanks. They’ve forced me to grow up.
“Who knows how long I’d have carried on sucking on candy-coloured watermelon-flavoured vapes if they hadn’t stepped in? Always deludedly promising myself the next one would be the last. Never taking responsibility.
“Now I’ve invested in a GeekVape Aegis Legend for sub-ohm vaping with a large airflow, I’m getting twice the hit from every puff. More than that, I’ve accepted who I am: a vaper.”
Ryan Whittaker, aged 29, said: “This is like when they banned packets of ten fags or replaced ordinary cannabis with skunk; it’s made the casuals hardcore.
“Welcome to lifelong nicotine dependency, kids. Welcome to happiness.”
