E cigarettes are for the weak willed and delusional. Do yourselves a favour and read Allen Carr easy way to give up smoking, you won't regret. It's such a relief to free yourself from the devil nicotine. Does anybody actually know what shiite actually goes into these evil contraptions.

Are you a troll? Because if you are ,you are not a very good one. Also rude and argumentative. If you needed a book to help you give up does that not make you weak willed.

The government hasn't made any decision. The Bill is not a government bill, and it hasn't been discussed in the Seanad or Dáil yet, never mind been voted upon.

Vaping is stupid - almost as stupid as smoking. E-cigarettes may not poison users with as many toxic substances as cigarettes, but they still provide nicotine, and should be banned for that reason alone

I hope the bill sponsored by Averil Power and John Crown is debated and enacted as soon as possible.

Nicorette patches also provide you with nicotine,should these also be banned along with cigarettes,inhalers and other forms of nicotine replacement therapy.

Thing is Nicotine is addictive, but not particularly harmful. I have seen it compared to caffiene in its effects on the body.

Not a smoker here. I hope this ban goes through. I don't like people using them near me. Use them outside please. I intend to mention it to the bar staff if there are people using them in a pub or restaurant when I am there so that they can see that some people find them objectionable. I think most non smokers don't like being near them.

You sound like a right laugh.

Yeah I'm a non smoker and hate being around them. Wouldn't mind either way if they are banned or not though.

I don't like them because, like another poster said, the warm vapour wafting in my face just seems kind of gross. And even when it's not being directly blown in your direction, as someone who doesn't use them, they smell kind of weird, much the same as cigarette smoke does to a lot of non smokers.

But complaining about them for that reason seems like complaining about someone smelling bad, or being particularly noisy. Yeah it might be annoying to me but they're free to do as they please really.

Tbh, I wouldn't be massively put out by having to vape outside, except in work (I work for a vape company, so vape on the job). I go to the smoking area in pubs and clubs anyway, and wouldn't think of vaping in a restaurant.

The people I feel sorry for most are new vapers. I'm only off smokes 2 and a half months, and if, in the first month, I had to go outside work to a smoking area to vape, I'd have found it incredibly difficult not to have a smoke.

What you talking about? vape smells nice, who doesnt like the smell of carmel, or tutti frutti, or mint, or bubble gum?
I dont like the noise pollution from dogooders whinging and i'm pretty sure thats bad for my mental health, lets ban that.

Did you even read my post before deleting most of it?
I never said they should be banned cause i don't like them.

Such a farce that two elected officials decide to stand over the findings of something so badly researched plus the fact that neither even understand what these "findings" actually mean.

I think the best comparison I've read is we should ban driving because driving at 160 miles per hour is harmful.

Take for example this youtube clip for an idea as to why the study is so full of sh*t....
