The British government are experts at banning stuff (partly because they need to show they are doing things and they don't seem competent enough to do the hard things that need doing - busy work). When it doesn't work, they ban it more. The Black market in this case is most convenience stores, not some back alley.

Personally, I just ignore their pronouncements as usually it means ill be able to get stuff for cheaper or a better product.

I wish total failure in every way to the ill-intentioned, deceitful bullies in academia, government, and activist groups, who live to assert power over others (Cambridge Citizens for Smokers' Rights).

Some people say that the UK has had 7 Prime Ministers in 12 years or something like that. I'm not sure they're right because in terms of policy it's been the same person throughout, Edward Samuel Miliband.

Just wait until April when the vape tax kicks in. Back to the fags they'll go.
