I think trying to compare vapers and persecuted minorities is at best an incredibly long bow to draw and at worst a bit offensive

Maybe not as obvious as that,but a pervasive zero empathy attitude towards smokers/vapers has become commonplace:- counterproductive 4 all

I'm sorry, but that blog is a bit bonkers. She quoted the foremost Aussie experts from both sides, but Wodak isn't pro enough?

It's the kind of thing that makes me re-evaluate the intentions of pro-vaping advocates, because it is simply an unwarranted attack imo

Good advice, a shame there were no comments allowed re the article. That would have allowed the necessary debate+balance it required
