Make Vape supplies as essential as tobacco

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Us who vape for health reasons are being forced to go back to Traditional Tobacco products due to not being able to get supplies, Open vape shops on same grounds as tobaconists

I like many others suffer from Respiratory health complications asto which vaping instead of smoking has kept me out of hospital, Now I like many others are struggling to keep stocked up due to shop closures , We understand the benifits of lockdown to alleviate the struggles ok NHS but if ppl moved back to traditional tobacco we as a nation are going backwards and will put additional pressure on the NHS during these bad times
