Protecting children: Consultation on ecigs

[Mark]

In two parts, the first relates to proposed regs prohibiting smoking in cars.

The second concerns sales of ecigs to under 18s and, for me, alarmingly purchases by adults FOR children.


If my kids smoked I wouldn't hesitate to purchase an alternative less likely to cause harm and persuade them to switch. Thankfully it's unenforceable claptrap

Interesting that it says it brings the law in line with other age restricted products such as cigarettes and alcohol when:

It is not illegal:

• For someone over 18 to buy a child over 16 beer, wine or cider if they are eating a table meal together in licensed premises.
• For a child aged five to 16 to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises.

I was informed by the school to ensure my son was wearing his glasses for tonight's theatre trip (if applicable), this afternoon.

I wonder if there is a limit to people wanting to control the minutiae of my life?

There's something just a little bit Saville about that.

I need a shower.

In other european countries alcohol is much more integrated from an early age, it teaches moderation and means people don't go crazy when they hit 14/15/16/17 etc.
When will we learn as a society that life is for living and wrapping kids up in bubble wrap does them no favours.

I support consideration and moderation not rules and regulations.
