Dubai Bans Electronic Cigarettes Because They DON'T Smell

    One of my new distributors is trying to open up Dubai. That is a great country for us to look into because of the number of smokers and the standing traditions of hooka bars and hooka parlors. But, last December the government health agency (the equivelant of our Surgeon General) banned electronic cigarettes because they don't smell. Yes, you heard right.

    The problem, they say, is that parents won't be able to tell if their kids are smoking because there won't be any lingering odor on them. This one has to be the winner of the most creative way to ban electronic cigarettes when you can't find any technical or medical reason to do it.

    In these last days of the Olympic Games, we should award Dubai a Gold Medal for this one!

    Thats kind of like here in Canada where the governmment said, we suggest you don't use these devices and we will not allow the retail sale of nicotine cartridges, when they were actually trying to say, we're not sure yet how to tax these devices.
    In the 80's microwaves and cell phones were also a fad "that would never catch on"

    True, but in arab countries you are faced with a totally different culture....a totall different thinking. The family structure there is completely different than we're used to here. That's not saying good or bad, just different....different perspective on the same thing.

    I have a feeling they will repeal this ruling there in a few months. Many people like the ecig concept.
