Of course they have. There has been solid evidence of the harm of tobacco cigarettes for decades. Smoking bans are well supported by the evidence. Any restrictions on e-cigarettes is not.
- ehnto 10y agoYou missed the tense. When cigarettes became popular they weren't banned right away because we had no idea they would become harmful. Of course we know differently now. In this case, we are erring on the side of caution and banning e-cigs until they are further studied. Learning from our mistakes.
- diamondlovesyou 10y agoBanning something is a good way to prevent such studies from ever happening. Also, they aren't banned. The FDA just made it so small businesses wouldn't be able to make the ecig products (basically). Big tabacco, however, is able to take the hit. Take it how you will.
- Laforet 10y agoThe physiological effect of nicotine use is pretty well established as in the case of alcohol and IMO it makes no sense to ban ecigs while allowing other forms of tobacco to be sold.
