What can be done when some little Hitler think...So. What can be done when some little Hitler thinks they can impose a ban on members of the public discretely and unobtrusively, safely and harmlessly self medicating their legally acquired disease (that is nicotine addiction) as they are legally free to do by means of vaping anywhere and any time they feel any inclination or need to?<br /><br />The NHS Fife spokesperson is, simply, lying about having identified "Potential fire and safety risks". There is no way that the heating element of a vapouriser (e-cig) could ignite bedding or clothing. That's a complete fiction. You know why people who use vapourisers for their nicotine fix, instead of cigarettes, don't need ashtrays? It's because nothing gets burnt in the process and there's no ash. <br /><br />I don't believe bans on using glycol-vapour based electronic nicotine delivery systems (yes, I went there) such as NHS Fife or Lothian Buses have any legal status and can be ignored. They are, legally, nothing more than a rude objection by private individuals to other private individuals' behaviour. It doesn't matter if it can, sometimes, look like smoking from a distance. It isn't smoking. Neil Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310313893408396508noreply@blogger.com
