Call for "Common Sense" over e-cigs - Yorkshire Post

[Matt Gluggles]

At last,

Like a breath of fresh air, the Yorkshire Post publishes a "call for common sense" over electronic cigarettes.

Having read the article I find it a little worrying that this is need ( with a number of schools having banned their use among pupils ) this can only be due to scrupulous vendors i.e the ones that already sell cigarettes to under age kids , these are the ones that are the real threat to ecigs.

That's a cracking article.

I hope we see more of the same soon.

The few schools that have bothered to ban them have done it as a precaution, there is no evidence of
school children using them in schools. So Linda is cynically taking the ban as evidence of something
that never happened, and using it to justify the unconscionable...........politicians eh, one step down from
the Daily Mail and its ilk.

A school near me gives cig a likes to already smoking students in an attempt to get them smoke free.

That is interesting, and presumably legal. After all there have been cases of schoolkids being given NRT without their parents consent, and ending up in hospital with a nic overdose. There is a danger that the ANTZ will twist this into anti e cig propaganda, however.

A cracking article. We all have to play our part in spreading the gospel by not only explaining the benefits to those who ask the "what is that mate?" questions but actively encouraging and recruiting our ciggy smoking friends and family members.

It is good to see something more balanced being reported. We seem to have the same age regulations on e-cigarettes as we have with cigarettes. All reputable vendors adhere to it anyway and it should be enforced with those few who don't.
