What next, banning nicotine patches?Ministers say they are responding to concern that the devices - which can contain nicotine - normalise smoking and undermine the smoking ban.
I don't smoke, but now I think its time to give these ministers a painful wedgie.Comment

The reason seems to be that it can be difficult to distinguish whether the "smoke" is from a real cigarette or form an e-cigarette, and so if they are not banned, the smoking ban may be undermined.Originally posted by oscarose View PostBBC News - E-cigarettes face curb in public places in Wales
Ban a product that produces a harmless vapour!

The more we can do to discourage smoking and mock smoking the better, although I do support any help we can give to assist smoking addicts to give up their habit, although not at the cost of undermining the war on tobacco."The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment

Which is the dichotomy e-cigs have provided. They're very effective at helping people quit smoking, far more than patches and gums. Harmless food grade propylene glycol, found in food and asthma inhalers. Nicotine is a stimulant like caffeine, don't see the problem and certainly no second hand effects with e-cigs. Too many people have been caught up in the hype.Originally posted by Waldorf View PostThe more we can do to discourage smoking and mock smoking the better, although I do support any help we can give to assist smoking addicts to give up their habit, although not at the cost of undermining the war on tobacco.
It would be a shame they were banned. I've seen many of my friends that have struggled to give up, do so with e-cigs, including GF#1.
I don't think mocking is particularly helpful, although the pharma industry would be very happy if e-cigs were regulated out of the industry.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

STFU!

P.S. What I mean is why in the World should anyone need to discourage mock smoking? What business is it of theirs? You may as well want to discourage coffee drinking!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Should be banned on the basis of being a bit
ish. If you want to smoke, do it properly. Or don't.
Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
