Rejected petition Ban e-cigarettes & vaping indoors / public places (align them with cigarettes)

Smoking indoors was banned because second hand smoke (SHS) can cause serious health issues in non-smokers, most of all, children.
For years SHS existed because precautions weren't put in place to protect people from what they didn't know.
Let's prevent similar consequences with this petition

More details

There have always been concerns regarding the long term impacts that e-cigarettes & vaping could have on people and these impacts are potentially starting to show themselves in people who use these.

E-cigarettes & vapers seem to show huge benefits in comparison to normal cigarettes which is tremendous; however we don't know if they come with risks. Let's take precautionary measures to not repeat old failures.
