Also the government seem to have shat themselves at the success of e-cigs in getting people to stop. As I have noticed them not being allowed to be used in certain places now..and its spreading too. Trying to discourage people from using them and go back to the ciggies, as they are outcasts anyway having to go outside to use them

Smoking isn't a necessity like eating is. If you can't afford to eat you're in trouble... so people help you. But if you can afford to smoke, how can you expect other people to feed you? This isn't about the rights of smokers and the tax revenue tobacco brings in, it's about people supposedly too poor to feed themselves who can apparently afford to smoke cigarettes.
