What about the whole disposable cigarettes that are fucking litter all over the city? Or the disposable cigarette industry responsible for probably millions of deaths at this point.

Yeah, the ecig 'crisis' is a massive diversion from the money making tobacco industry. Not banning those, hm, can't think why...

Edit - I do know that the tobacco industry owns a lot of the disposable ecigs as well
