[meli.]

Hi Everyone, just came across this bit of news, everyone in UK vaping community, you have been warned...
I'm sure this wasn't funny as it was happening, but how ridiculous is this??

The Daily Mail
'We thought we would be shot': Passengers' terror as armed police in 17 cars swoop on M6 bus... in false alarm over smoke from an ELECTRIC cigarette

• Armed officers, troops, firefighters and bomb disposal experts all called
• After nearly four hours investigating police admit it is a false alarm
• Man was craftily smoking an electronic cigarette into his bag
• E-cigarettes simulate smoking and the flavour of inhaled tobacco
• Almost 50 passengers were on the Megabus coach at the time
• It was travelling from Preston to London when it was raided
• Using an e-cigarette on a coach is legal as it only emits water vapour
• 'I rang my wife and told her I might be on the news': Driver speaks of ordeal
