Another call to ban Vaping

[Ssscrudddy]

St. Louis resident writes to the Galleria 7 West County Malls, asking for an indoor smoking ban on e-cigarettes so he doesn't have to breathe in the "smoke" from them. Comments are open - we welcome you to educate him on the topic!

My comment
Wow, would you also ban nicotine patches & gum, asthma inhalers etc?
The smoke isn't smoke for starters. Its vapour, so you should include in your ban, anyone breathing out, especially on a cold day..
Perhaps you are being misled by the fact that they are being called (only in some places) E(lectronic)-cigarettetes.
ENDS is what they are, Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, so nothing to do with smoking. You aren't getting any nicotine from it, as that is already absorbed by the person vaping almost instantly.
Are you morally outraged that an ex-smoker has managed to get themselves out of the group that is being constantly demonised & discriminated against & you just don't like it.
Before calling for a ban try doing some research & find out what you are actually talking about.

I'm in that sort of mood today

"Hear hear, just the other day I was in a cancer ward surrounded by terminally ill people with slim hopes of survival and thought to myself "They really should do everything they can to stop innocent people shopping in malls being slightly inconvenienced by a small cloud of water vapour when popping out to buy more stuff they don't need". I too have been outraged by seemingly insignificant things while engaged in daily activities and can only hope your letter to the editor find more success than my recent letter to a well known supermarket about their oranges being too round."

I would respond, but find most editorial staff aren't to fond of publishing two word responses! :eagerness:
