In South Africa, the proposed Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill generated some controversy by categorizing e-cigarettes and vaping with traditional cigarettes. The vaping industry (there's a depressing thought for you) expressed concerns that vaping could be banned, causing, presumably, untold harm to South Africa.
It turns out that SA was just ahead of the curve on the whole vaping thing – the US Food and Drug Administration has done a 180 on the issue and announced this week that it is willing to consider a vaping ban unless the industry can do something to stop teens from buying the devices.
