Other Things Wales Can Crack Down On

It is with sadness and a sense of loss that we welcomed the news of Mark Drakeford’s passing (as the Minister for Stupid Ideas and Silly Grins). We are sure we are not alone when we say that we’ll miss his frequent comments. Welsh politics will be all the poorer for his sideways move so we have come up with some suggestions for his party to consider.

The Vaping Championathon

Who loves sport? Everybody adores sport, that’s who. But they particularly flip out over tournaments. This summer has been incredible for international exercise fans. Lots of people, like at least a hundred, recently enjoyed the kickball thing in France – and then were ecstatic when TV was cancelled for a hitball fortnight in Wombledon. Next up, lycra-clad types will be jumping up and down or running about a bit in South Zikavirus. It only stands to reason that Stealthvape should enter the fray with a vape-related championathon.

Love Island

What is it? What is ‘Love Island’? I know it’s a TV show because I heard people talking about it over the weekend but, without rushing to a search engine, I have absolutely no idea what it is. It’s not that I delight in proclaiming my lack of pop culture knowledge; it’s more that (at my age) I’m worried more important stuff will be pushed out if I learn about something new and irrelevant.

Sexy

OK, this is going to take some doing on the part of a lot of people, but vaping needs it. In order to spread the message and encourage smokers to make the switch to vaping we are going to have to take direct action. The Tobacco Products Directive supposedly outlaws advertising the benefits of an ecig – so it’s up to us. You, me and Fat Dylan from the bus stop. It’s up to us to make vaping sexy.

Retro Vape Chic

Everybody that isn’t a teenager knows that the best things in life existed in a time before they became a drain on the combined parental income. We sought out an expert and found a man drinking Buckfast in the park. “It’s true,” he said while using a tree as a public convenience, “retro chic is driven by adults seeking to relive the carefree days of no responsibility.”

Happy TPD Day!

It is not often that we get the chance to celebrate the implementation of a uniformly popular piece of legislation. There was the Beer Ban Act of 2015, but that was blocked from leaving the floor of the house by a clump of drunken MPs after a late-night drinking and debating session. Thank goodness Europe stepped in to make sure every Brit can now benefit from the Tobacco Products Directive.
