Neasa Hourigan: Obviously some of the conversations are repeated from previous sessions.

Neasa Hourigan: I have been slightly shocked. I am not a vaper and have never looked at the websites to see cartoon characters and the likes of blueberry, strawberry and watermelon flavours.

If we accept that somehow there is a reason to have cartoon...
