Ed The Seattle Times, with all the factual fiction that can fit, is now on the hobby horse to ban “e-cigarettes. ” I smoke (we call it “vape” )an excellent e-cigarette called a JOYE. My Joye is wonderful, contains no carcinogens, puts out a harmless vapor flavored with such evil things as chocolate, well today that is, yesterday it was pineapple, I’m not sure what tomorrow will be as there are so many flavours you can buy these days, you can see some of them at this website.
If I were to desire nicotine (I do not) I could have that in there too, much as I could use a spoon to ingest opiates. Since opium is a lot more harmful than nicotine (a really mild drug), I suggest the Seattle Times advocate banning spoons.
While they are at it, have they considered that pacifiers are a gateway device to e-cigs?
This whole idea of banning things like e-cigs seems hugely misplaced. If people want to try out vape kits uk then they should be free to do so, just as they are free to smoke cigars and cigarettes.

The battery-operated devices the size of pens use nicotine-soaked replaceable cartridges to simulate smoking. Nicotine is delivered into the body with water vapor rather than smoke. Young people may find this safer than regular cigarettes. But e-cigarettes contain nicotine, an addictive substance. This can, however, be modified. MagicVaporizers is one place that offers vapes. Some vape sellers offer batteries similar to ccell silo to vape users. They should only be used by adults.
The product may be a gateway for teens to move onto other tobacco products including cigarettes. That’s the last thing needed as the popularity of smokeless nicotine products stalls progress on reducing smoking in high school.
Smoking is a critical battleground. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that one-third of high-school smokers will die prematurely of tobacco-related disease.
The Washington State School Directors Association, which coordinates policy for public districts, revised its tobacco and nicotine substances policy last fall. The absence of tobacco in e-cigarettes put them outside the reach of current anti-tobacco bans.
Proponents laud e-cigarettes as a way to help wean smokers from tobacco cigarettes. But there is scant evidence, leading the federal Food and Drug Administration to warn manufacturers of e-cigarettes that such claims may violate federal drug laws.
Most adults favor restrictions on electronic cigarettes and more testing on their safety, a poll last year found. Bans on e-cigarette sales to minors, limiting ads and restricting indoor smoking of e-cigarettes are policy ideas sparking future efforts.
A smart beginning is a ban on e-cigarettes in public schools.
