"Draward says the jury is still out as to whether e-cigarettes are an alternative form of tobacco cigarettes or a stop-smoking aid, and there may be tax implications.

"It would be a health [department] decision, regardless," Draward said. "If they're saying it's a cigarette replacement, then, in my opinion, we've got to tax it, but we don't know that yet."

These politicians and Doctors have totally lost sight of the real problem.
