I doubt their are actually people making negative comments about vaping in the general public. The thing is, if they can add ecigs to the banned section, they are then placing it in the same arena as tobacco products and hence can tax and place duties on it the same as stinkies and alcohol. So, it comes down to money and some clever politicians etc making laws that benefit their pockets. It has never been about what helps the people, but rather always been about money/capital. As far as I am concerned they can all go jump in a river I will vape where I want and when I want and if someone happens to take me to court, then actual science will defend the cause and they will loose because their so called 'evidence' is based upon hearsay and conjecture, not solid reason and science.
Yesterday I switched on the car radio for the news on Heart FM and caught a part of a telephonic interview with some chick about e-cigarettes juice to be regulated by making them only available from pharmacies in future.
What should we say?
Why do smokers complain? In public spaces? Because they see it as smoke and and they can't smoke in public? (Except in the street. Which is not allowed in some countries, or cities.)
The more it becomes known, the the more it becomes an issue and the sooner it gets to the point where only pharmacies can sell it.
i think they're not aware of that; it's just the usual interfering, nanny state style.
I think that having a talk with officials will do no justice. If we really want proper impact to be made we would need to approach a show like 3rd degree where we can have a panel of health experts who know the facts and can provide evidence. If the stance that government is taking is on the issue of health then we can tackle it with evidence, testimonies and documentation from international experts on the matter.
If it's for simply making money then it will be revealed if we take this to the media.

There was a show on sabc 3 yesterday... doctors orders where they were discussing ecigs and quitting.
They interviewed a lung specialist Dr, he said there wasn't enough evidence yet but the fact that there are like 4000 less chemicals can only be a good thing. Could see he supports it but was just too scared to say so, just in case.

I find this so ridiculous. A non-smoker/non-vaper friend was telling me the other day that a couple guys at his work were using "twisps" in the office. The non-smokers didn't have a problem with it but the smokers had management ban vaping in the office because they felt it was unfair... sour grapes.
Guys, I'd like to address this when I'm not in a party going state, but DO NOT VAPE WHERE YOU CAN NOT SMOKE. Adopting the attitude that it's not smoke it's Vapor will lead to our demise. Don't be a wise crack. I will eleborate on this after the rugby, but this is the number one cause of our problems.

Look forward to your thoughts on the subject @RevnLucky7 , at present I don't vape in non-smoking areas mainly because the public majority is uninformed about the differences between vapour and smoke. I do however feel that we should be allowed to. I've kicked the stinkies, I'm not a smoker, I shouldn't be treated as one.
That is so true @RevnLucky7, vaping etiquette must be observed by vapors in order not to create waves nor bring attention. It just grates me when I know the reasoning behind the proposed ban on vaping in public is based on conjecture. But you are absolutely correct.
As in this video:
And this by my all time favorite Rip(What a legend):
Just occurred to me, Vaping for non vapers/non smokers must be like being at a rugby game with Vuvuzela's blasting away, it is not dangerous to your health but would certainly irritate the sensory defensive. Still, a full out ban and placing us in the same circle as stinky smokers would not be fair.
I vape pretty much everywhere and anywhere that gives me gears about it (and it has only happened once) I simply won't frequent again. Yes it's probably not the right attitude but I see it as my way of introducing people to vaping... I converted (well hope they converted) two people on my CT trip because they were smokers and saw me vaping inside and were curious... that gives me the IN to do my conversion speech!
