This just confirms that vaping has become mainstream... or as some might term it, 'normal'.

So when we hear the antz fear fuelling ( ) and saying that vaping is renormalising smoking, we know that it's just a lie. What they are actually doing is trying to denormalise vaping just like they did with smoking.

That's quite an important distinction and also quite an important distortion by the antz imho.

If nothing else, the fact that vaping is now considered to be mainstream just goes to show that despite all the efforts of the vested financial interests, they haven't succeeded in discrediting vaping, trying to keep it confined to a niche market and ultimately, to try and make vaping gradually fizzle out and disappear so they could get back to business as usual.

One of my favourite little barbs when engaged with antz seems to sum it up.. vaping is the future, just accept it.

It's actually a massive deal for the vaping community and shows the massive progress made, even in the last year alone.

It definitely shows a crossover into mainstream consciousness and means it will be featured on the news which is added publicity.

Exciting times, there'll be a revolt if they try to ban it!
