A lawmaker in Scotland is pushing for a ban on the public display of e-cigarettes in retail stores. Gillian Mackay, a Scottish Green Party MSP, wants retailers to treat e-cigarettes like tobacco products and keep them out of sight.
Mackay stated that "This is beyond the days of smoking behind the bicycle shed, this is a multi-million dollar industry leading the country towards a health disaster. It is a ticking time bomb, and until we know more, no one else should be asked to take this risk.
According to a report in "The Daily Record", prior to submitting his candidacy for the Scottish Parliament, MacKay had written letters to shops and e-cigarette manufacturers.
The Green Party's health spokesperson, McKenzie, has stated that the number of people using electronic cigarettes is rapidly increasing due to the lure of marketing strategies. She is urging retailers to lead by example and write letters to them, urging them to hide the products.
