Between the massive corporate wealth at stake and the millions of people literally addicted to the product, it's hard now to imagine governments being able to ban them (and I lived through it).

Which the Aussie government banned, yet didn’t even touch cigarettes.

i through they also stopped the sale of cigs to anyone born after a cutoff date?

That was NZ I think and I also think it ended up on the back burner for some reason (I assume lobbying)

In smoking areas or outside only.

Lol I'm a school bus driver and a number of my colleagues vape on the fucking buses. They imagine they're being super-secret about it - they're somehow oblivious to the giant cloud of smoke each hit creates. Never underestimate the power of nicotine addiction to force people to relentlessly push the boundaries of where and when.
