Earlier quoted context omitted.
Surely tobacco should only be available by prescription, by the same argument? I mean, what argument is there for e-cigarettes to be banned or heavily regulated when anyone can go buy cigarettes? If they ban both, fine. If they just go after e-cigarettes, this is the work of the tobacco lobby, end of.
It's the puritans, not big tobacco. Big tobacco loves ecigs, they're its future.
I suppose the question is where the moral outrage originates - with the puritans, or did someone plant that idea in their minds by hijacking the agenda?
