That is the difference between the UK and the US. More specifically the difference between the government saving money if you don't smoke and are thus healthier, vs the government losing money from tax revenue if you stop smoking.
Wow - that is awesome - never saw anything like that in the states (USA)....I almost thought it was joke and see it is not.
Check this out - the photos even show a directory with all the vape locations. Absolutely awesome!

0ne person in four has a dependence from nicotine, either from smoking or vaping.
When this person is denied the possibility to assume nicotine, he/she becomes irritable, unfocused, grumpy, sometime getting into a real sufference.
Showing some understanding by providing relief to smoker / vapers in terms of a vape area, some free devices, an so on, makes everybody happier.

All those adjectives describe me -- plus especially the one that rhymes with itch.... I have to say though that since I stopped analogs 6.5 years ago I do not go crazy if I do not have my vape --even for a few hours. Proof to me that there is so much other junk in analogs!
Not sure about addiction but a year ago I had brain surgery and they would not let me out of bed to go and vape I got very upset and they had to prevent me by using straps and magnets to prevent me from leaving the bed. I also have issues in hospitals and busy places like Airports etc due to my being DEAF so they were not communicating with me well just used straps and magnets to prevent me from leaving the bed ........wouldn't even let me go to the washroom.
In two separate hospitals and both did it .............later a doctor told me that I had to lay flat for the bleeding in my brain.............nice someone finally told me that instead of just drugging me.
Hospitals are a very stressful place and vaping helps reduce that stress so wish they had embraced it here.
Soon I have to go out of town for overnight and need to travel to get where I am going .............can't vape and it is going to be a stressful time for me ........stealth vape time
Here In Canada it is even more so the government would save money for healthcare costs as our medical is covered 100%. I thought because vaping is healthier, it’s going to put less of a strain on our medical costs so that would be a benefit! But, how much more with the government be getting through the taxes that come from the sale of cigarettes! It’s common knowledge that with gasoline, cigarettes and alcohol that a large cost of these is the tax! In fact, I just looked it up. The tax per cigarette in Canada is 18.475¢. This equates to $36.95 per carton. And I know with myself and many of my friends we smoke a carton a week. So the government was getting $147.8 A month from me or $591.2/year. Multiply that by a few million people a year!
Most hospitals now offer patients and visitors a nicotine patch in the US.
Yeh, of course they'd offer the suckiest option. I'd rather not vape than use the patch, frankly. I hate those things. I guess it is better than nothing. The last time I was hospitalized, (and it was a long time ago but our governor was rabidly anti smoking when it came to hospitals I annoyed the staff so much, they finally caved and allowed me to use nicotine gum.
How it in any way DIFFERED from the patch as far as "not impacting others" well, I'm not quite sure. I guess they thought I might offer my used gum to someone else? They certainly made me "give it back" (eww) before doling me out another piece. Etc.

Last time I was hospitalized was in an Army hospital, and my teammates snuck me one of those little Nugget mods, lol.
Pretty sure the orderlies knew I was vaping, but after they saw some of teammates they certainly weren't telling, lol.
They didn't say anything about the bar-b-q they brought me, but they did confiscate the beer.

I can tell you right now, if I were in the hospital and my friends brought me some BBQ, and then some staff tried to take it from me, all they would pull back is a nub where their arm used to be. You absolutely never want to be between a carnivore and his meat, because then you ARE the meat.
Us Government makes money when you sick too, nearly any Gov. Entity that has anything to do with the medical or pharmaceutical fields get big kick backs to promote symptom treatment , rather than cures. In Short their is big business in is staying sick, monthly Dr. Visits muliple prescriptions, when one trip (maybe 2) that includes proper diagnosis (if they think they know what it is they will check everything else first).
I have literally seen people kicked out and told to find another doctor because they insist the doctor test for what the most likely have first. Doctor take the attitude well if you know what it is then you don't need me. It's horrible medical care is a joke unless you have really high dollar insurance that will pay whatever w/o questoon, but even then be prepared to get 6 or more visits of the run around ,before they even look into your chief complaint.
Did not know that -- that's a small step in the right direction.
Unfortunately I have health problems and am hospitalised more than most. At those times I stealth vape under covers or in washroom and keep a bottle of Febreeze on hand. ( I do not like hospital smell you know ) As long as not cought in a cloud I'm good.
