I'm am an enthusiastic vaper and am appalled at government stances towards what is relatively harmless. It doesn't kill 6,000 people a year in the UK for a start!
And yet the most infuriating thing is that we have saddled ourselves with the name cigarette. Electronic inhalers, Vapers but never, never e-cigarettes. We are condemned out of hand because of it. We have simply handed them a huge crate of ammunition and said 'just keep shooting me in the foot will you?'
The latest VIP advert in the UK just pandered to that smoking image. A sexy dolled up women puffing away in clouds of vapour as seductively as possible holding the vaper as if she were some sort of 1920's elegant cigarette smoker using a fancy cigarette holder. Utter idiocy - cringeworthy - and just reinforces all their tenuous arguments about making smoking sexy and being a gateway for children.
