It seems that the group of know-it-all autocrats who have been pushing "medical" and other marijuana are indifferent as to whether folks smoke it, drink it, or suck it into any other orifice. However, they are unequivocally committed to getting rid of the relatively harmless habit of sucking on a tube and inhaling water vapor called Vaping. Despite the recent reassurances of relative harmlessness from the British Royal College of Physicians, the loonies are doing everything in their power to make Vaping so difficult that it will be easier to keep on smoking tobacco or marijuana. These ideologue pinheads are so obsessed with anything that looks like smoking (except for "medical" marijuana, of course) that they insist it must be stamped out, even if it actually helps some people to quit smoking. The feeble excuses proffered are the usual nanny state attempts to change behaviour. "It will be an introductory influence to encourage people to start smoking it will make smoking look acceptable, it will look cool,etc." Look, if someone wants to smoke or indulge in any other unhealthy behavior despite knowing it's dangers they are going to do so. When I was a young lad growing up in Dublin, the street urchins used to roll their own cigarettes from the dried out horse dung that littered the streets in those post war days when gasoline was unobtainable. It smoked pretty well and they thought it looked pretty cool and they didn't need big business to convince them of it.
Let the vapers vape, you may just succeed in reducing lung cancer or COPD a little.
Social engineering can be dangerous.
