I would say that it would be best to go into Foxs if you can - There are different types of cigars, some mild, some strong etc and they will be able to give you the best advice depending on what you are after.

Anyway, the amount of idiots that think it’s ok to puff away on vapes indoors in pubs, restaurants and shops because they’re not cigarettes is infuriating. Smell off them is horrendous regardless of the supposed flavour. 

Haha. Not a word I have used much before. I'll learned my lesson now and won't happen again LOL

Something really obnoxious about the heads on people when they're vaping. Reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld's joke about chewing gum.

Amount of young wans going into vaping shops only rivalled by ones going into tattoo parlors.

Some killing they're making off peer pressure.

Find it mad now with the kids growing up and their attitudes towards smoking compared to ours. 

Basically smoking cigarettes is considered disgusting and for old people and I don't think I would need to worry so much about the kids getting tempted into smoking cigarettes. Which is great really. 

However, now vapping is all the craze for the youngsters and they do be talking about 'this boy was vapping at the disco' or putting vapping filters on their pictures, e.g. putting me in a picture with a vape filter and say "dad I caught you vapping". So that would be the one now where you would be worried that they are a little consumed by people vapping and maybe the one where they are trying it out to be cool.

What is the best of way of doing this.

Try to replace the urge to have a smoke with something else.
Coffee was a big one for me. Instead of going for a smoke for a break at work I’d go for a coffee.

Not sure how you travel to work but I use the tram and always use to have a smoke for the walk to the tram station, so I overcame that urge by finding myself good podcasts to listen to instead.

I use to also have a smoke before bedtime and even during the night if I woke up, felt they helped me sleep. I replaced them by going to sleep listening to a podcast or watching a documentary on phone and drifting off and the I have a bottle of water to drink when I wake up in middle of the night. 

The urges went away surprisingly quick in the end after many years of failed attempts. I'd say "right, after this pack I'm done", the id finish the pack, but then a day or maybe even a few later I’d fall down because I'm dying for the smoke to accompany my walk to work and I'd give in and buy a pack, or not being able to sleep so I’d go the garage and buy a pack in the middle night then would smoke the pack. So then I'd smoke that pack over a few days and then have to start again

Off licences and pubs sell it. It's good for a blocked nose but you'd be sneezing for an hour after it.
