For now it seems to be a municipal issue - not (yet) provincially mandated.
I work out of City Hall in another city - and there are at least a half dozen of us that regularly vape throughout the day on city-owned property. We've had absolutely no issues from other city staff...no complaints.
So far, the e-cig issue hasn't been discussed at our city council meetings...and I've heard no intention of it. We're hoping the ban in Toronto doesn't set a precedent that all municipalities adopt.
I was reading the report that Toronto based their decision on - and it went so far as to suggest a ban on the sale of "all flavoured e-juice" - which pretty much includes everything in the stores.
The justification they're giving for the ban in Toronto isn't based on factual scientific studies. It's purely fear-mongering - or as Robbie said above - their attempt to vilify the e-cig industry.
