Out of curiosity, did he get a receipt from the popo?

 

I'm not doubting that it happened.  Just wondering how above board it was?

 

 

His boss is a well known business operator in the area and his boss's wife is high up in the provincial administration. It's above board.

Good info, and a great cautionary tale.  If I did vape, I'd probably keep my head down for a while.

I doubt the non-UK monitored vapes are as safe. Not as bad as ciggies but they have all these mystery chemicals in them that combine in the lungs.

I'm so glad I stopped smoking aged 18..worst case of being out of breath after having to sprint sudenly and clothes and fingers stinking....setting money on fire for that ?

I was glad I stopped smoking 10 months ago and started vaping. Big difference in my health and my wallet. Now because of my decades long nicotine addiction I'm back on the cigs. Not happy.

Agree. Western liquids are absolutely different quality. When I rarely vaped in Thailand in past I was buying only USA liquid from reputable brand.  Now stopped  even  that because  of unrelated  health  issues.  But that's why regulations is important, not everyone knows it and can find it. Now they are just killing people with cigs and cheap smuggled vapes that are harmful for real.

Sort of agree. Regulation is important but TIT. I'm concerned taking a long distance bus. I've always wondered about the Chinese disposable vapes juice though as that's pretty much all that's on offer in the disposable types where I am. I will take my chances with cheap Chinese vapes over cigarettes.
