Fair point
Why punish those who who have given up nasty high carbon footprint burning cancer sticks in favour of a far less damaging (read- harmless) product containing in some cases near homeopathic quantities of nicotine and flavourings?
This is all about "Big Tobacco" and bullying tactics to keep their deadly product on the market as long as possible.
Anyone who uses these e-cigs is doing everyone a favour by substantially reducing their risk of ill health and resulting high medical bills: the average tobacco associated cancer patient costs the NHS approx >275,000 UKP over the last few painful and humiliating months of their life.
Also a lot of investigational new drugs for conditions like Alzheimers are being considered for an inhalational route via e-inhalers and this delivers them far more effectively than having to go through the digestive system.
Personally I welcome the day when companies like M*rlb*ro and B&H are held to account and treated like the terrorists they are.
