no doctor will prescribe it

Ha this tracks with my mate getting knocked back on this by our GP, who is also a medcan AP. He said go see another doctor for that.

I actually suggested it to him because he needs to give the fucking things up. This might be why, he mightn’t want to prescribe it.

Holy smokes! That's more than double the local plug! Roll up jimpson weed or rabbit tobacco (or questionable adulterated weed) is probably what locals here would do.

Mate, you got no fucking clue. This will create entire new organised crime markets.

You realize in the 1930s there was a black market for cigerettes when they weren't even illegal, right?

Mafias had support from the people, because mobs supplied booze, which WAS illegal. They made so much money from that, they started robbing cigerette trucks. Then selling legal cigerettes, at full cost, simply because the people trusted the mob over the government.

Do you remember being a teenager? You're describing something that is extremely addictive AND the government is banning you from trying it because you were born too late. This is just asking for a shit show. I'd rather the cigs be guaranteed not to contain lead (or whatever). Forcing a black market just removes all regulation on the vice. Each year that market will get larger. It's literally a guaranteed increase of demand in the black market over time.

I really think the methods used in the US to reduce smoking really need to be duplicated in other countries. The US literally has like one good thing that we got right somehow. In comparison to Asia or a lot of Europe I never see people smoking.

Vapes are a whole different story. But, even before vapes were a thing the US really did a good job at making smoking socially unacceptable through multiple policies.

We literally have examples of methods that work well AND methods that don't. Outright bans never work with vices.

They don't give you a buzz right now. You think prohibition liquor was just as safe as what was produced afterwards, what with all those ridiculous safety regulations gone?

How I wish there was a proper standardization of formulation and safe limits, because some of the vape juice I've seen are mostly made in-house and often included unwanted unlisted additives and ingredients.

Only healthier if you avoid the additives. Shit like essential oils and flavorings does not belong in your lungs.
