I don't think so, the ones you can buy in Canada contain no nicotine. Its essentially water vapour. I've seen people use them in airports, but never really in any other public space. Someone asked me if they could use one at their desk at work once, and we said no.
these things freak me out, I've seen a few people "smoking" them in places that you wouldn't be able to smoke real cigarettes and it always disgusts me the same as real smokes. I was at a competition with prodominatly all young kids performing and some guy was smoking one in the row ahead of me. Still seems wrong, wether it is real or not its not a good image in front of kids. Just my opinion.
They are technically not legal at all in Canada. Many states south of the border have already classified them as cigarettes. Health Canada is leaning that way too.
Nothing they are water vapour. They are not smoke. Vaping is big in Europe. They don't smell like cigarettes at all. You can get flavours and that's all you might smell. No different then someone wearing perfume or cologne.

ReplyDeleteWhat does the friendly neighbourhood GO Transit officer say when enforcing Metrolinx/GO Transit's No Smoking By-law?
ReplyDeleteGO Transit bylaws say no smoking AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a ticket for sure.

ReplyDeleteI was visiting someone in the hospital this weekend and a visitor for the fella in the next bed was smoking one. All kinds of wrong.
ReplyDeletere: vapour and people who think this is ok
ReplyDeleteI'M SMOKING MY HOOKAH ON THE TRAIN RIDE HOME TONIGHT
Oh Hell, it's been wide open smoking on the trains for the last year. After 7:00pm the GO cops do SFA about it.

ReplyDeleteAll I got is....
Popeye cigarettes and those icing sugar gum ones that you blew through and the "puff" of smoke came out....perhaps 3 times.
