The OFFICIAL government stance (Offical of National Stats) is "almost all vapers are either smokers or those looking to give up smoking". The key bit of this is ALMOST all, indicating that statistically some people must have taken up vaping "from scratch". It is highly unlikely that somebody would take it up later in life so the implication is these would be younger people. It will be interesting to see what "anti smoking / anti vaping" information is distributed at the ground on a match day.

The vapor companies have to attract new customers with a stealth approach like the one our club has agreed too.

Without new custom the company with eventually go bust when the existing customers either give up or die!

Be sure all vapor companies want kids to buy into vaping...flavours!!!
Remember the alcopop boom!

Mums buying there children hooch from supermarkets for them. The government eventually moved in to get the
breweries to re-design their labeling!

The alchopop boom!

What are you meaning by using icons?

yes we have to be careful I've got a garage full of wind turbines I bought on the back of the Vesta sponsorship?
and I'd only just cleared it of old Sparkomatic car stereos and duty free Vladivar Vodka.......

thankfully I bought a Bensons bed and can sleep soundly at night without worrying about my eagerness to buy any old that my Club endorses.....

in all seriousness I'm with Vespid's earlier post stating, if you are stupid enough to put unhealthy stuff in your body because you like the sports teams it is associated with, you are a fool.

As a young impressionable kid my most favourite sporting image was the black and gold JPS lotus (the 72 in particular) even as a college student I had a black and gold JPS lotus shirt and the same branded watch. I loved formula one in the 80's, and cigarette advertising was absolutely glamourised, they even made Camel cigarettes look good......Ive never smoked in my life and have never wanted to....

Maybe Parents should do some parenting...I know if I take my son to a wires match he will most likely say "dad did you see that bloke smoking the e-cig near us.....what a douche"...now I'm not sure what a douche is but I'm guessing its not good.

You forgot that Miller home you bought and the business you set up on Omega.

It's funny how you say that advertising doesn't work, then rattle off brand names from years ago. Would you have remembered them if they hadn't ploughed money into the advertising campaign?

what a guy.

Not many actors can say that they have had a cartoon character styled after them.

Deary me today. If advertising doesn't persuade people to buy things why do companies spend millions on it? Advertising/ marketing creates need.

There are some SERIOUSLY dumb comments on here.

The thing that bothers me is the hypocrisy of it. The club will make a stance and ban something they don't believe in; unless there is money in it for them.

Trust me, only an idiot would start out vaping and then start smoking. It just doesn't work like that, and have heard of no one that has through all the vaping forums and social media. You know what, every new generation is impressionable, that's how we end up drinking/smoking and taking other recreational substances. If the next generation start vaping instead of actually smoking, then the country and the NHS will be in a much better state than it is now, being drained by poorly smokers.

Im starting to reconsider my position here after flashbacks from the time i inserted a tampon into my penis. Advertising should be banned

I dont see the problem with this, my kids wont even be aware of any new sponsor as they are not interested in who sponsors the club they just like watching the game.
