Even though here in Canada we've not yet had to deal with this type of escalated "control" without just cause (except for the underage purchasing/availability of these devices which I believe to be an expected and worthy request), I can't help but shake my head at the ignorance of those who both have imposed these "laws" and those with the ignorance to follow like sheep and support the decisions being made with such a narrow minded approach.
This is nothing more than a "control over others" game, regardless of what factors, devices, or subjects they're trying to overpower, added on top of a marketing ploy by those with vested interest and huge wallets in this particular market.
The part that gets me the most is that I can almost assuredly guaranty that any one of these "individuals", who claim to be doing this for the "general good of mankind", are the same people driving around in un-maintained vehicles that spew unnecessary toxins into the air, wear an abundance of perfumes, hairsprays, or colognes that offend and/or add to the health risks of those who are highly reactive to or offended by the odors or chemical contents, that drive in disregard to common courtesy and sense putting many on roadways in potential harms way, make everyday decisions that are in jeopardy of offending or harming others due to their actions, and/or just being part of the mob rules group who just can't seem to make it through an already difficult lifetime without being part of a "clan" of unhappy overbearing people in attempts to justify their small existence on this earth.
On one hand its surely a shame that we must feel criminalized by going against the public in charge by active numbers decisions (tribal law), but on the other hand there's not a hope in hell that ANYONE will govern MY life by restricting what common sense and self research has proven better for ME with the information I have available to date !!
As far as the personal vaporizer, there has now been so much information (especially, and I personal thank them for it, with what the modder's have done), that outright bans on the products necessary to continue with this venture are impossible to stop at this point in the game.
Whether that means modding oneself, personal nicotine extraction, buying pieces from overseas (if not available local), there is NOTHING that can be done to stop this new found alternative. Even if it were to mean purchasing blackmarket to self preserve my decision to move forward with Personal Awareness & Choice.
Ok, off my soapbox now !!
VapeOn,
Greg
