Makes me shake my head how biased it is.

** EDIT ** - thanks for breaking the link Robino1, I will do so on future rubbish articles now that I understand why :)

I saw Toronto Sun in the title and already shook my head. As bad as alcohol sales seems regulated, no surprise they'd give a clueless opinion towards vaping. When I went up there, it was weird going to Walmart and not seeing beer and wine there like they are in the states. It was a culture shock for my fiance when she came down to see me over Christmas.

I know another place in Canada is trying to ban vaping altogether it seems.

I wonder why they prefer people to smoke cigarettes? Could it be because the Canadian government charges 20 cents per cigarette before normal sales taxes are added to a pack of cigarettes? Thats $5 directly to the government to which they apply the standard sales tax so they get even more. If 20% of canadians are smokers (last i checked it was about that) and there are 35 million canadians thats about 7 million people giving the government 20 cents every time they light up. Its nowhere near that much for me to fire up my mech!

Ontario collects over 1 billion dollars per year on cigarette taxes.

Then they make the money disappear. E.g. spending them on a power plant that they eventually don't build.
Then they borrow more Money against future income from projected taxes......and along come those hosers and their ecigs!

Get a true mech mod a Dimitri is easy even I can use and maintain one and stock up on nic and your set for a good few years of governmental idiocy no need to stock up on wire, wick, PG, VG, battery's or flavours as they all have many other non vaping uses and are too much trouble to limit nic and vaping hardware is where the hammer will fall.

That guy "Nate" who keeps appearing in the comments section of bad vaping articles, really went to battle for us with this one. It's an exceptionally misguided article by an incredibly irresponsible doctor, and I'm thankful for the debunking Nate does with this one, and with all the others where I see him.

That would be this guy...

He hasn't posted since the forum upgrade.
Which I guess is why the Search function doesn't let me find him.
