Its one thing to try and defend our e cigs. Its quite another to put blanket statements on anything that annoys us while talking about it. By constantly complaining about every government issue while trying to get people on our side of the e cig debate will only serve to alienate some folks that would like to join us.

I'd argue this is arbitrary and capricious... basically discrimination. I'll just call them fascist and make the point that the next thing they do is not hire anyone who eats bacon, or has a BMI over 15. And I can't wait to see the first discriminate lawsuits... I'm sure BT would be interested to help out a few of those cases.

Seems to be a trend .. and what's wrong with that .. ?? It's a HEALTH System ..

I think the problem is that cigarettes are sold almost everywhere. They're legal. If the powers that be are so against smoking and people who smoke, just stop selling them. Oh, no, never that.
