The Vape Community

There is no such thing as society,” opined Margaret Thatcher once. Some portray this to be a clarion call to selfishness, others point out she was saying that a sense of entitlement cast a shadow.

This isn’t to say that I wouldn’t have demanded I left the building had I been my own father.
