E-cigarettes to be banned from Scotland hospital grounds

Damn...Why do we have to be first to ban everything....not all bad though ASH Scotland does not agree.

BBC News - E-cigarettes to be banned from Scotland hospital grounds

 

[Blackhack]

A spokesman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde also confirmed that e-cigarettes are not permitted as part of their smoke-free policy.

there's no smoke !!

She added: "These products are currently not regulated

Oh yes they are !!

and there are concerns over potential safety issues with the products.

and there isn't with cigarettes ??

In addition e-cigarettes mimic the habit and look of smoking and therefore provide negative role modelling for young people."

So does drinking water....It looks like Vodka!!

And these are supposed to be educated people ?????

What a bloody joke! we find a way of giving up smoking, and these idiots do their utmost to cancel any benefit!!

i repeat, Vaping is not SMOKING fools!

Next they will be banning fat bastards like myself, just in case someone tries to copy !

Rant over!

Saw this on the news this morning. Daft cunt says "It contains nicotine so we'll be treating is the same as other nicotine containing products like cigarettes". You banning nicotine patches and gum as well then? Course you're not, you're just a daft cunt that didn't think it through.

I too found this completely ridiculous when I heard about this,especially when vaping has helped so many of those who were unable to stop smoking finally give up the nasty habit, they should be advocating for vaping not banning on nhs grounds and stuff like that


Sent from the top of an ever increasing mountain of vape gear!

Some one did tell me the politicians at Westminster lobbied to have a room for vaping so they did not need to go outside and got it LMFOA so hope this is true

Well I will be complaining if these other things aren't part of the ban too

Just goes to prove that education and intelligence arent joined at the hip.

The bit that really annoyed most though wasnt even the comparison with smoking and vaping, it was the very real prejudice that came through that these cunts see smokers as second rate citizens who do something that their elitist society should not see and by definition also implied vapers are also part of the lower caste in their eyes.

i hate those twats with a vengeance, and i use that word with no reservation whatsoever. We keep getting shit on over and over and for some reason it is seen as being ok to do so.

What makes you think the people who made these decisions were well educated? It was probably a few office admin types and middle class stay at home mums from the PCT, the Doctors won't have had owt to do with it.
