Small quote:
"It’s a sad truth for some, but smoking, regardless of whether it results in second-hand smoke, does not belong inside buildings such as schools, churches, grocery stores or malls. We understand that e-cigarette smoke is harmless, but smoking stereotypes have not changed. The image people associate with smoking is negative, and we have our culture to blame for that.

However, the battle to force e-cigarettes out of certain locations will not be easy due to the fact that the vapor is harmless to bystanders. But we should easily be able to crack down on e-cigarette use among children. "

So, in a nutshell, smoking used to be prohibited in public places because it was harmful to bystanders, but now it's just bad because it's bad and therefore anything that looks like cigarette smoking is also bad because it's bad.

How can you argue with logic like that, LOL.

Rather easily, actually:

Let's ban the drinking of water, because it can lead to drinking alcohol. Problem is, water is harmless and nobody gets drunk from it, so it might be hard to ban.

I can't tell the difference between a person drinking water in public from a person drinking vodka in public. I think drinking any liquid in public should be banned.
