My country's finally banning smoking inside restaurants and bars, and wouldn't you know it, it appears "heated tobacco products" are immune to the ban because it's somehow a smokeless product, despite definitely emitting smoke. And while the ban will only come into effect mid-December, there's already a concerning amount of "IQOS-only" places, and there's still ashtrays in such places, they're just slightly more discreet in their design. And to top it all off the public consensus is that it stinks worse than a cigarette. So if nothing changes by then, we're gonna be in this paradoxical situation in which you can't smoke a strawberry-flavoured vape containing no tobacco, but you can smoke "smokeless" "tobacco product", which is totally not a cigarette 2.0 with no proven health benefits in comparison to cigarettes.
