Seems like smokers, and by extension now, vapers, are being treated more and more like lepers living in a 3rd world country. Shunned by society, tossed out of the family home and run right out of town.

Perhaps in the future, Ontario will designate "Smoking Colonies" like the 3rd world countries did for lepers. Smokers must be cursed by god the same as lepers are. Fortunately a lot of education has helped the cause for lepers in the last decade or two. Smokers just seem to be continually shat upon.
Go figure, Cheers.

Pretty soon the only place for kids to get flavoured cigs and cigars will be black market. Nothing really will change much, except that once law abiding adults will have to go the same route too.
Creating even more "criminals" to punish.

Gotta fill those for-profit prisons somehow! No profit in empty cells!

Do we even have for profit prisons here? All I know about prison is how hard I'm never going there lol.

Actually I don't know if they do that in Canada. If not, you're very fortunate, because that's the biggest plague to strike America since AIDS.

The American penal system is pretty much like the MIC, build more prisons so private contractors can sell more services and products pretty much a excuse to suck up more taxpayer's dollars. American prisioners even have to work to produce furniture so that the system can sell and turn a profit !

nope not mine I did not give $68.00 in taxes last week and the week before and the week before

That's why they hate ecigs, because of you and me and everyone else who effectively quit, and they weren't able to monetize it. They are losing money and now if everyone quits smoking who would they blame?

There is a ribbon for breast cancer, and a ribbon for prostate cancer and a ribbon for every other cancer except lung. You know why? They assume lung cancer people did it to themselves. Where are all the giant lung cancer foundations?

There is a giant foundation called the heart and lung, but it seems all their money is straight to heart. The lung gets less and less prioritized.

That's one of the things that bugs me the most, this idea that smokers deserve to die in horrible ways. If I tell someone my dad died of lung cancer, the first question is "did he smoke?" :facepalm: My stepfather's dad died of cirrhosis of the liver... and never drank in his life, due to his religious beliefs.

Rates of lung cancer in non-smokers are rising dramatically.
