Apparently the sign is real but put up by "vandals"
Curious to see what happens when disposables are outlawed.
- Not a lot, the kids just switch to reusables, or continue to buy the same disposables from dodgy drug dealers.
  
  Let's see.
  It'd be something if I we didn't have people chucking them all over the floor.
  
  If it results in 1% fewer kids using, and 95% less vape litter, then that's a win-win in my book.
- Not much.
  Lot of the businesses that sell them are nigh impossible to track down, and that's even assuming extra enforcement is put in place, which it won't be.
  It was never legal to import for retail goods which fail to adhere to UK safety requirements, and yet all these disposables were widely & openly traded.
  
  I partly blame Amazon and EBay for normalizing ignoring regulations on goods. There need to be a reckoning across the board. How can legitimate manufacturers compete? How many ebike/hoverboard/charger fires do we need to see regs are important?
Nicotine is for scum.
