FWIW I've tried stupid (NRT) patches,gum and inhalers many times and failed in fact I still have some unused,and none give me the hit like e-cigs do it's proved itself many times since I started vaping,like if I'm having a few beers I usually revert back to analogs if on NRT products but not even a thought of picking one up whilst vaping ,I just wish I'd have got into e-cigs years ago its by far better than anything a GP could offer me. and NO! i will not give up my beers on the few occasions I can afford it and as for all NRT products including the funny pill champix (varenicline) if it works for some fine but it doesn't work for me so LEAVE MY E-CIGS AND E-LIQUIDS ALOOOOOONE

I'm glad it's working out for you mate

The BBC article is probably the most positive independent media article I've read. Yes, it includes the word 'safer' but that doesn't imply a medicine or treatment, just an alternative. It's a huge pity that it was a BBC local site and not national though.
The most important part of that article is that they obviously sold well enough for Tesco to go national with them which is huge plus for our cause. Hopeully other supermarkets will compete and the snowball will continue to build!

Well put.

Yes the product is relatively inferior, but the way I look at it is if 5% of the people who try them from Tesco decide they want to stick with vaping and look into it and find better products, the number of people using e-cigs in the UK will more than double.

So there I was sitting around being bored with nothing to do, so I phoned Tesco's to ask if they sold disposable e-cigs anywhere in Kent.

The customer service lady, who was very nice, had a little trouble finding out but she did some ringing around and called me back a bit later. At the moment they are only sold at the Tesco express in Ashford but she has promised to call me if they go into stock anywhere else in Kent as I said Ashford was a little far out for me.

Does anyone else think that I really reeeeeealy need to get a life?

I vape when I shop and no one complains, of course that might be because I shop on line.

I know that sounds really lazy, but I live so far out in the sticks that it costs as much in petrol as it does to get it delivered.
