I don't think cigarettes being out of view lead to their decrease, nor all the warnings or pictures of diseases. It's more that they cost about £15 a pack. Honestly feels like weed has already overtaken cigarettes.
I know they mean well, and disposables are spectacularly wasteful, but I can also see the appeal of a cheap, no maintenance, no mess, no faff vape.
And from a purely selfish point of view, I'd rather smell Fruit Salad smelling vapes everywhere than cigarettes or more bloody weed.
