Nah, I'm a non-smoker and I don't see the issue. I'm not a fan of "bans", of anything, I believe in people having the right to choose what they do and don't do with their own bodies. The argument behind the smoking ban was ALWAYS that passive smoke affects non-smokers and that it's not fair for them to have to breathe it. There is no passive smoking issue with e-cigs, therefore, people should be allowed to use them if they want to use them. It's their choice. They also don't carry anywhere near the personal risks that traditional cigarettes cause, as the majority of the carcinogenic effect of "real cigarettes" is in the tar they contain, not the nicotine itself, therefore if someone DOES want to casually smoke - for example, if they just enjoy the occasional nicotine high on a night out - they're much better off getting that from an electronic cigarette than from a real one.
