You've failed ......wait, no actually I have failed to make myself clear.

Its not the medical use I'm objecting to.

Its the marketing towards the general public, and to kids in particular.
This guy was in the middle of a major mall, puffing away for all he was worth. Insisting it was a totally harmless product. (didn't know about the nicotine then, or this gma would have nailed him)

It may be a harmless product when medically prescribed, but is it for teens who have not taken up smoking? Who just want to look "cool"?
