Health concerns

The health effects of using electronic cigarettes are currently unknown.

That statement alone should trigger concerns.

I can bet my left and right nut that the dangers are much less than cigarettes. That alone is enough to steer me in that direction.

Society these days have far more worse things to worry about rather than a vape stick. As an example. The vast amounts of simple carbohydrates, low value fast food, etc that lead to nothing other than obesity and type two diabetes.

But that is for another forum.

It is pretty obvious who, if you HAD to choose one or the other. I would rather sit in a room of vapers than smokers.

You miss out the real obvious answer. Given the choice I would rather be in a room with neither.

People are taking in more chemicals eating fish and chips than they are vaping.

When you boil the kettle to make a cup of tea do you wear a mask or go out of the room?

As for the PG in inhalers, It's use in inhalers is so the medication is delivered better into the lungs. it's in all food stuffs, it's used as a stabilizer.

You leave yourself wide open to being reported to your LA if someone sees a passenger using one as you drive along, do you want suspending till the LA sort it out?

Well given that the government wont ban them (because they cannot due to the ruling) your councils cannot either

You can have workplace rules and regs! The council recognise that your/my vehicle is a place of work, as such they can incorporate what they like........until it is legally challenged. Until that happens, you either go along with their rules.......or get suspended.

Illegal to smoke, not illegal to vape, smoke you can see and smell water vapour you can only see for a few seconds

Thought it was your car numbnuts? Where does it say you must permit their use?

Stop being such a drama queen.

If they are under 18, take them off them and throw them out the window, or hand them to the head of the school

Any way I've just got some nice juice from a company in Israel,

It's a $10 standard delivery, if you order one bottle it's $10, if you order 5 bottles it's still $10 delivery.

It sounds so nice, when you call it "juice" like it was squeezed from the finest Jaffa oranges, when in truth it's an unknown concoction that could contain anything. Well you will not be "vaping" ( another nice term) in my taxi. Why not just give it up before it kills you? Or not. I am old enough to remember when fags were deemed to be harmless too. Still, at the end of the day, it's your funeral. Google nicotine weed killer.
