Make it illegal to use e-cigarettes anywhere it is already illegal to smoke

Closed 185 signatures

What the petition asks

Legislation should be introduced to stop people vaping in public places in line with tobacco products. This should include public transport as well as railway stations and bus stations. Public Houses, Restaurants, Shops and Libraries. The aerosol from e-cigarette's can be harmful to people.
While some will argue the merits of e-cigarettes and say they are less harmful than tobacco, many people who vape have little conception just how the aerosol can affect others who have to put up with breathing this in. Those who have breathing problems such as Asthma and COPD fall into this category. Please sign this petition for the sake of all especially the youngsters.
