… unlikely to be banned in the UK … in fact e-fag shops (along with charity shops) often move into empty premises to help 'invigorate' UK high streets.

But how long will it be before Amazon drives 'vape shops' out of business too?

Bummer.
and San Francisco iirc (edit - I didn't realise SF was in California!)
Seems an odd thing to ban to me unless I've missed some ground breaking new research
Also not a serious crime to knowingly give someone AIDS now, in California, apparently!

I'm trying to spot a consistent pattern in their law-making!
They clearly haven't grasped the significance of the term 'knowingly'.
I am a non smoker but I think everyone should have the right to puff away but there is nothing to stop the government punitively taxing the smokers.
Whatever you think of these people, they are usefull in providing revenue to the Chancellor.
As long as booze guns and cigarettes are legal everyone is happy.
Oh and pills
My first thought too.
And you can be arrested for taking empty beer cans to a recycling centre in your car, unless they're in the boot/trunk.
The US baffles me.
Yes it baffles me as well and my missus and I made a decision about 20 years ago to give the place a miss. Europe is a much more interesting place in every respect.
A very strange judgement in my view. Quite inexplicable really.
So clever my foot fell off.
I wonder if there is any current analysis that calculates the extra revenue Vs the extra healthcare cost. I remember reading a document many years ago that argued that smoking was good as it caused people to die early and reduced the cost of caring for the elderly and their associated health issues!
It certainly improves annuity rates...

Precisely - if they want to shorten their life, reduce pension and health care cost as well as paying extra taxes, so be it. Their lifestyle, their choice.
