But, as less harmfull as this product may be, they're still an addictive nicotin-based drug with unwitting consumers. The legislation really should have started by treating them the same as classic cigarettes and *then* loosen the rules, not the other way around.

Well, you can go ahead and create dozens of proposals that will go nowhere. I have completely given up on that process. It will be discussed here for 1-2 days and then will be forgotten.

I'm not going to waste my time with that anymore when it's always the same few people who make any tag page edits in the Wiki anyway. If someone does not like in use and prefers proposed, fine go ahead and write it. Don't like the tag at all: Create a proposal for an alternative.
