Absolutely! Don't believe the lies that the only thing that's secondhand is water vapor! Don't bother with the argument "cars emit things too" because at least cars are useful and beneficial. There's nothing beneficial about sucking in nicotine.

Nothing beneficial about driving a car either. They've turned our cities into deserts bisected by hideous, expensive concrete strips. Cars themselves are a horrific pollutant, and they've turned us into a bunch of antisocial fat-asses.

Nothing is 'burning', there is no smoke ..... BUT, they sorta lot like Cigarettes and I guess the Leftists can't tell the difference from the real cig and the electric cig.

Yeah ..... it all about the Control and the possible taxes they might be able to collect. If it moves, Tax It.

I would still say 18 or older, keep it the same as cigarettes.

It should be illegal to advertise any recreational drug: alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, cough syrup... Demand for these things should not be increased over the already existing one. So ecig commercials should be banned.

Nothing beneficial? Are you sure about that? So I guess we should all give up cars and go to bikes. Good luck traveling the 200 miles to visit grandma, with the kids, when she lives in a city with no bus service (OH NO! THAT'S A ROAD VEHICLE TOO!), air service (They pollute as well and take up hugs amounts of land for airports), or rail service (well, trains can be electric).

That's exactly what will happen. They just haven't figured out how yet, since people, ordinary vapers, can order straight from China.

Then stop breathing.

Thank you.

P.S. What is it about ZERO nicotine that's so hard to understand?

Ooh, goodie! Another one who doesn't have a clue what's in ecigs.

P.S. There is no alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, or cough syrup in them.

Now you know.

Sorry, my life is more beneficial than someone else sucking down nicotine.

Who said anything about secondhand nicotine? I'm talking about things like glycol, or alcohol, or other compounds that get released.

P.S. I'm sure there is some nicotine that is released secondhand anyways.

Heavy smokers who can not quit...should be allowed the alternative of managing their addiction with a product that does not filth up the lungs and slowly kill you.
