There is no war on e-cigs.

• They release vapor into the air so they should be banned from public places just like Tobacco.
• They contain nicotine and are therefore addictive, and should be subject to the same age restrictions as tobacco.
• According to this article there are safety issues with liquid nicotine that didn't exist with normal tobacco. They need to figure out how to child proof it. That will cost a little money but small in the big scheme of things.
• E-vapors are currently believed to be healther than traditional tobacco and tobacco users should be encouraged to switch. But it's still an addictive substance with health ramifications and non-smokers should be encouraged not to start.

  Precautions do not a war make.

They contain nicotine and are therefore addictive

The overwhelming anecdotal evidence is that this is not true. There have been no clinical studies which have ever been taken to establish this. The few clinical studies involving people who never smoked being given nicotine in a manner other than via tobacco, all showed zero side effects of cessation, with no evidence of any addictiveness at all (despite nicotine being as addictive as heroin /s). These studies (6, I believe) were done, by the way, to study therapeutic effects of nicotine, and involved elevating nicotine levels to levels commensurate with a smoker, for months at a time. And no withdrawal, no cravings, and none of the subjects became smokers or continued nicotine use in any way.

Cigarette addiction is much more complex than we have been led to believe. Nicotine plays a role in that addiction, but nicotine, in and of itself, is at most mildly addictive, and probably not addictive at all.

Is the vapor known to be dangerous? You release vapor into the air when you breathe on a cold day, but I don’t see anyone banning you from public places.

I assume your edict extends to all things that contain nicotine -- or is it just your hatred of smokers (in this case vapers) that you believe only things that emulate tobacco should be restricted?
