Wales ban e-cigs in public places

[buggritt]

Could turn out to be very useful. This proposal has solidified the bodies who think, on the whole, that vaping is a benefit to smokers, health etc. To see them all in one article, rehashed by all the newspapers, hasn't happened before.
Some weight is being given to the fact that vaping costs the general taxpayer nothing. unlike traditional NRT. This ought to be stressed by anyone contacting a politician or their GP.

Quote taken from here >>> www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/09/welsh-e-cigarette-ban-irrational-nanny-statism-alcohol-junk-food

"For good measure it also wants a register to control tobacco retailers, a ban on smoking in non-enclosed public spaces, an offence of “handing over” e-cigarettes to children and curbs on tattoo parlours and body piercers."

So, not only a ban on e-cigs in public places, but a potential ban on smoking in non enclosed public spaces as well, and since they seem to treat smoking and vaping as the same thing, how long till you can't smoke or vape in public at all.

I heard this just as I was trying to fix my very hot mod (coil on atty touching the deck) - was great till the last comment 'teen's e-cig caused chemical burns on her throat' - I'm like maybe she was vaping something dodgy?

Not least that hyperventilating eejit from Doncaster who, stuck for an argument against a vaper, finally spluttered out 'it's going to kill you!!' Awe....feel for him - diddums.....

But on the whole well reasoned and rational arguments from radio 2 peeps

Wonder when the daily fail will see the light!
