Fabulous essay. Right on the money! I will pass this on to the BC legislature that (even though they obviously have no idea what they were regulating - considering that their mandate is a "Smoke free BC) recently passed an act that simply added "vapour products" to the tobacco Control Act. Don't panic, it won't come into "force" until a regulation is passed by the Lieutenant General, and they are now taking the time to do some consultation (Isn't consultation supposed to happen BEFORE legislation is passed?). ARGGGG!

vaping disrupts the flow of money to our BG's, and results in obstruction of rational thought processes by political 'Leaders'.

In the US, BG is the biggest, baddest of the bad guys in this evil scheme to kill off vaping. Same in some other countries. In smaller countries, the government is still the baddest, but not the biggest.

Biggest in US (by estimated profit from the lying):
1. BG
2. BP
3. TC
4. BT
5. Media

Baddest in US (based on ethics of their involvment):
1. BG
2. TC
3. Media
4. BP
5. BT

(corrections and additions welcome)

Just like the evilest of drug dealers, BG keeps raising the price of cigarettes and trying to kill the competition.
