I hope they’re not expecting any thanks. That would be like thanking a rapist for not slitting your throat.
 
HOWEVER! It will be a great pleasure to walk into my local vape store on Tuesday and without fear of reprisal, to say loudly, ‘My good man, please provide me with some of your finest nicotine-bearing products in exchange for the currency of the realm.’

Edit: unless, of course, a lady or person of indeterminate gender is behind the counter.

For those store owners, suppliers and manufacturers- thank you all.
 
Perhaps the tobacco and alcohol bans were lifted in order to save face. Rather lift the ban than lose the court battles.

It would be better for a finding of irrational, unconstitutional and unjust to be reached in court and used against that monstrous woman. She needs to go, as does the twat in the hat.

This move was orchestrated to save them from public humiliation. Rather relieve the ban with level two than be on level 3 with heads of state being made to look like idiots. Otherwise I think we would still be on level three .That's why they found every trick and argument possible to drag the case
 
I think this is why BATSA indicated that they want a ruling even if the ban is lifted, and I presume FITA is going to do the same in their newly right to appeal. Gives them a court order and finding if ever the bunch of f-yards want to change it again.

Yeah they need to carry on this case to completion. Hopefully they win and it sets precedence for future issues.

What people need to realize is that's its equally easy for govt to backtrack to level 3 at any point they choose fit, provided the state of disaster is still in effect (which it will be for the next short while at least).

I think they said until 15 Sept. as the next deciding day.
 
My mother has it, she's 63, over weight and diabetic, so I'm kinda hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. She caught it because her moronic friend doesn't believe in it, and allowed some workers on the to the property without masks, workers who ride the taxi COVID hot boxes every day, now 3 people in the house have it. I hope her friend gets it, I really do, so maybe he'll believe it's real.

Really just god damn stupid.

On another note, I've been chain vaping quite a bit, and my blood pressure seems to be spiking (well spiking for me as I usually have low blood pressure), and my heart rates been up. I've cut down drastically, but every time I take a few puffs it seems to start going up again, I tried 0 nic and that doesn't do anything, so I fear my vaping days are over (or rather I hope its just nicotine and I'm not developing high blood pressure because I can't actually deal with anymore health issues).

Sorry to hear about your mom @Feliks Karp , you and the family will be in our thoughts and prayers. My mother, 76, lives with me and my sons, and when going out we do try to take all the precautions for her safety, but it can happen so fast. I believe in the end we will all get it, we can only hope that weather, strain and severity will allow us all to pull through.

This lockdown is doing strange things to our bodies, I am a chain vaper, only at 2 mg, but even I am somedays feeling a bit of strain. I am having to try to get back into a training routine, maybe some cycling to get the lungs better and the overall condition up. The masks literally tire me out, and when I have a days work and having to wear it has drained me. Found some new ones with valves, still exhaling through at least one layer for filtering, and this has helped. Hope you find out what is causing it, but I have to say that if I have to go down to 0 mg I’ll rather do that, I need the ritual, not the nicotine so much anymore. Keep up the spirit and everything will turn out the way it is supposed to.

Sorry to hear that man. Wishing you and your mom all the best.
 
@Feliks Karp

All the very best for your Mom and trust she pulls through this. As for your blood pressure, please take care. i was diagnosed hypertensive at age 32. Was told it was hereditary. It is known as the silent killer as most people either do not know or ignore it. Please do not ignore it get it checked.

If you are unsure, get a blood pressure monitor from Dischem and do your own spot checks.
