Vancouver, BC bans ecigs in public places

[DrMA]

I was deeply saddened to read of this news. The desk murderers sitting on the city council unanimously delivered a heavy blow to public health, all the while protecting tobacco markets and the related tax income.

At the same time, Vancouver announced the introduction of their new vending machine for {illicit plant}. But, of course, vending machines for ecigs are prohibited.

The bill is at http://former.vancouver.ca/blStorage/9535.PDF But it was slightly amended by Council before enactment.

Interestingly, Vancouver City Manager Penny Ballem said the city won’t enforce its new vaping ban for products we cannot mention on ECF.

But then again, I'm not aware that any nicotine vapers opposed the the proposed vaping ban.

Wait, what? No vaping in public? Or no vaping except where smoking is allowed?

 

[jwbnyc]

No vaping in no smoking areas.

 

[DrMA]

No vaping in no smoking areas.

But, as Bill posted above, the ban will not be enforced for vaping products other than nicotine. I'm not sure how they propose to determine the composition of the liquid.

On-site rectal testing?

Gee, I guess all that being polite to the ignorant masses really works...........................

Heh, rectal testing! heh, that made my pathetic day!

 

[DC2]

Complying with the edits of the bullies and the nannies does not work.
It has never worked, and it only encourages them to do more of the same.

Being polite is another conversation entirely.
And one I don't want to go into here as there are more than enough of THOSE threads.
