Wales bans e-cigarettes

Yes they do. Unless the news is lying which is always possible, naturally :|

I see no problem with the ban from vaping in public places. I do see many, many problems with the "science" used to bring it in. But, ultimately, whether the "smoke" you breath out smells of skanky baccy or some obnoxiously sweet e-liq, it all irritates somebody else for the expense of standing outside to get your fix. E-cigs may be less immediately harmful (as far as secondary inhalation goes... and by a very, very long way) but they are still fekkin annoying if you do not wish to be smothered in "smoke". Getting a break outside seems an added bonus tbh.

But as things are now businesses and organisations individually decide what policy to adopt, and so many public places and workplaces already don't allow you to vape indoors - pretty much in in line with common sense (give it time). I've got no problem with being asked to go outside to vape - it's polite (though vaping indoors is still 100 times less offensive than smoking - the smell is transient and it doesn't colour the wallpaper); i'd just rather the decision about whether to do this was left to individual organisations as it is now rather than making it a law with all the extra hassle/work for lawyers that brings - there's just no point.

According to the welsh governemnt twats i heard, the stated point is actually to shape the way us childlike herd think about smoking generally rather than to prevent any direct harm (hence thought crime (though the glib exagerrated version; as opposed to the scarily real operational version currently being instigated by Theresa 'O'Brien' May))

This is exactly the wrong reason to be making laws.

And you would be crazy to imagine that it will stop with e-cigs. They are coming for your chips next. And don't be thinking you'll be safe with oven chips, either -- they will want to shape the way we think about cooked potatoes generally, rather than to prevent any direct harm.
