Wrong move.
(oh wait I'm not supposed to criticize my dear leader)

Genius!

Genius move!


E-cigarette use to be restricted, flavoured tobacco to be banned in Ontario

The law, which will be introduced on Monday, will effectively ban e-cigarettes wherever smoking is already prohibited. They will also be banned for anyone under 19 from buying, just as cigarettes are currently treated.

The law is also expected to ban flavoured tobacco products, which are especially popular with young people. As well, menthol cigarettes will be eventually phased out.

That's what you get when you vote Liberal.

Idiotic, counter-productive, silly laws that are an infringement on Liberty.

Here in NB the Liberals have been in power for a few weeks. So far, one Liberal MP has quit, rumour has it because he was promised a cabinet post, and Gallant stabbed him in the back. The Liberals have been caught setting up a list of "Liberal" paving companies for gov't contracts, a Conservative gov't appointee has been fired on a trumped up cause, and the gov't is back tracking on a foundation of its election platform, a moratorium on fracking.

In a few weeks.

Banning ecigarettes is a good health move. Non smokers should not have to be subjected to them in the workplace. Or anywhere else

Baloney.

E-cigarettes emit vapour.

Big deal.

They are an essential aid to many people trying to quit real cigarettes.

Banning e-cigarettes is simply political correctness gone nuts.

It will be interesting to learn just what that kind of vapour will do to a lung in the short term and in the long term.

Any type of particulate that's introduced to the lung regularily and repetatively causes damage.

Don't panic. It's organic.

Your shampoo is more harmful.

I'm a pretty unique case actually.

I smoke one normal cigarette every work day on my morning break, so 5x/week.

I have tried ecigs and have one in my car if I really feel like it. My issue is not so much about health as it is about convenience and experience.

There is no question, in my mind, that ecigs are safer/healthier.

For me though, the tech still isn't there yet for convenience. They are still too heavy, and still require too much effort to inhale the vapor.

I'm sure there is good research out there that shows that 1 regular cigarette per day is still harmful, but I think this legislation definitely borders on social engineering and the government would be wise not to cross that line.

Her asthma is gone and skin is tighter. It only took a week to get rid of the slight wheeze.

Cold turkey. It sounds delicious but wasn't. I just got fed up and decided enough was enough. Once past day 5 it was pretty easy from there on.

If you still smoke start vaping. The money saved and better health is well worth it.

I'm not inhaling my shampoo.

You can find the damage particulates can cause to lungs with chronic exposure via the google. easy peasy.

Chronic exposure to particulates has been associated with increased rates of bronchitis and other respiratory ailments, with loss of lung function, and with increased risk of lung cancer

Spend the money for a good one. No issues getting a pull with something like the aerotank. They work great for glycerine weed extracts.
