Yup it's sad but with such a new industry it needs time to mature before it can withstand attacks like this.
Could easily happen anywhere and I doubt the Italian government give two hoots about people vaping, they just care about the tax and will do what ever it takes to keep it.

Interesting reading and should be shown to anyone thinking of trying
To impose anything on the industry, the strong growth seen is dependant
On the freedom we currently have. Restriction will result in reductions!

Just highlights the hypocrisy of governments everywhere ... want us all to stop slowly killing ourselves with tobacco to avoid the costs to the Health and Benefits departments but cant live without the tax revenue.

Clearly we're not the only country with incompetent politicians, but at least the Italian government are being honest about their motives.
