It is irksome to see that terminology used when they were not illegal. On the other hand I've had a lot of people comment to me (pointing at my APV) saying, "I thought those things were illegal". If that reflects the understanding of the general "non-vaping" population, maybe its a good thing to have a headline that gives the impression that e-cigarettes will not be banned. After all, if that same "general populace" tended to read whole articles, they wouldn't have thought that they were illegal in the first place.

Yes, the very same e-cig prohibitionists who lobbied for, praised and defended Health Canada's purported nicotine e-cig ban are the ones who are now demanding lots of new counterproductive bans, regulations and taxes on all vapor products (including all nicotine free vapor products) to further discourage smokers from switching to vaping.
What I don't understand is why the Canadian Parliament invited, listened to and is now recommending unwarranted e-cig regulatory proposals by the very same e-cig prohibitionists who have been dead wrong about e-cigs ever since they urged and praised Health Canada's ban on nicotine e-cigs in 2008.
Nothing like replacing one failed public policy with another one that is designed by the same idiots.

The answer is probably here:
https://ocl-cal.gc.ca/app/secure/orl/lrrs/do/clntSmmrySrch
you can search for "cigarette" , "tobacco" and so on.
The major players seem to be:
Imperial Tobacco
Canadian Cancer Society
Canadian Lung Association
NJOY

Just to clarify - I "Liked" Woofer's effort to make a summary, not the content of the recommendations
