They will be imported as crazy.

Denmark already banned it, but they are everywhere. Literally everywhere. It might be the biggest "black market" right now for anything really.

They need refillable ones. Chargeable. It needs to be a product you buy, and they have it for a loooong time, only to buy more fluid.

You can't stop it by banning it, and it's better than smoking, so please just give us the eco friendly alternative.

Haven't rechargeable ones been available way longer than disposable ones?

Yes. But some areas banned those first, and the flavoring you put in them. Unsure about UK considering they're the ones publishing studies that aren't just big tobacco/pharma lobby lies like the Diacetyl bullshit, I'd think they're largely vape friendly (but who ever let those pesky scientists get in the way of a good ban, huh?)

Yeah the UK government is largely pro vaping as a way to stop smoking, but thankfully very anti disposables and marketing to children. I don't have much good to say about our government, but I'm with them on this.
