00:00I think illegal vapes are actually on a business in Warsaw and we find a lot of people that's

00:04what they're doing or our own customers are telling us that people are just going to move

00:09into that. It's the same thing happened with the cigarettes when the cigarette bans came

00:12in and that's what's going to happen with this really they're going to go through legal

00:16means. Even before this ban came in place we used to have people buying the larger sized

00:22vapes that weren't actually available to us so we didn't but other places they were just

00:27finding them. I think it'd be most likely illegal vapes because there's a couple shops

00:31down in Birmingham Centre that sell like backy like nicked stuff like backy stuff. It's not

00:37going to change it I think it's going to make it probably worse and probably criminalise

00:40it more than it's going to help. I think already people are already like just buying actual vapes

00:45and then just buying the liquid because that's still available at the moment isn't it so it's

00:55now isn't it it's nothing else than that.
