Ban e-cigarettes until they're reviewed by governing bodies. Continue to sell combustibles that've already received a negative health review for both those who consume them and those in the general inhalation vicinity by said governing bodies.

Makes sense.

It seems a common strategy. It should put in the same regime as combustible. For walking in the street, it definitely cleaner.

Yes it still kills and affect the health of the human. But nothing is worse than combustible.

Why should it be put in the same regime as a combustible if you believe nothing is worse than combustible? Trying to follow your logic here.

Source that vaping kills?

Source that second hand vaping kills? I mean, I can legally drink all the bleach I want so long as I don't go around splashing it on others.

Ban cigarettes or legalize all drugs. The hypocrisy is strong in our drug policy. I personally support legalizing all drugs, or at least decriminalizing them, but I can't stand the fact that cigarettes are legal+easily accessible when weed is federally Schedule 1 drug.

EDIT: Full disclosure: I was a daily cigarette smoker for ~1 year during high school.

The thing people don’t realize is this. E-cigarettes cut into the tax revenue regular cigarettes generate.

Of course SF wants to ban e-cigs as it cuts into the tax generated from cigarettes.

Someone pointed this out to me. Part of the settlement with big tobacco was big tobacco had to run ads to get people to stop smoking, and to allow states and cities to tax tobacco as warranted.

It’s free money for cities and states. If you think they would genuinely ever ban cigarettes you’re gravely mistaken.
